At v15.20, Epic Games added a much-requested configuration to Fortnite: ‘disable pre-editions’. See how it works and how to select it.
Finally, after years of Reddit topics, Twitter posts and professional players begging, Epic added a ‘disable pre-editing’ setting to Fortnite.
Here’s everything you need to know about the new configuration, including how it works and where to find it.
What does ‘pre-edit’ mean?
Pre-editing refers to the ability to edit a structure before placing it. The most popular use of pre-editions throughout Fortnite history was a cone / ramp edition when controller players had to use Combat Pro.
Now, however, few players use pre-editions. Instead, pre-editions offer an obstacle, as they are almost always completed in error. Of course, there are still some niche apps for pre-editions, but most players wanted Epic to add an option to disable these editions.
How to disable pre-edits
You can find the new option on the settings tab (gear) in the start menu. Scroll down to the “Building” section and you will see four options. One of them is the new “Disable pre-edit option”.
If you turn this off, you will no longer be able to edit structures before placing them – good news for the mainstream Fortnite community.
Epic may have taken years to finally add that option, but it’s finally here. Next stop, a FoV slider!
