Epic Games addresses more Fortnite Battle Royale Turbo Building issues
The issues with Turbo Building continue on in Fortnite Battle Royale, and Epic Games have released a statement on the noticed problems.
If you have been paying attention to the Fortnite Battle Royale community since the release of the v10.20 patch, there is a good chance that you’ve heard about the community issue with ‘Turbo Building.’
Turbo Building, which is the ability to automatically build structures while holding down on your mouse or controller, allows a player to seamlessly create a formation without needing to click every time they want to set an object.
Epic Games originally decided to nerf Turbo Building in v10.20, however, they quickly reverted the change a day later after community members protested in the masses.
Even after the revert, players are still noticing a variety of issues with Turbo Building. This led Epic Games to release a statement on Twitter mentioning that there haven’t been any other changes to Turbo Building since the original revert.
You can view the official Tweet below:
We’ve seen reports that the delay for Turbo Building feels a bit different today. No intentional changes were released since yesterday’s adjustments.

We’re investigating these reports and will provide status updates when we have more information.
At the time of writing, it isn’t completely clear as to what the problem is regarding why Turbo Building feels “off” to so many players.
The developer has been known to quickly solve issues after announcing that a change is coming, yet it is impossible to know when such an adjustment will be released.
For now, the only thing to do is to keep your eye on FortniteINTEL.com and the @FortniteINTEL Twitter account for updates, as we will release them when we hear more information.
Does Turbo Building still feel weird to you after the revert? Let us know below!

How to earn the free Fortnite Crew emote in Season 5
Epic Games are offering players who sign up for the Fortnite Crew membership a free, exclusive emote for a limited time.
Epic Games is offering players a free emote to go with their Fortnite Crew membership in Fortnite Season 5.
The Fortnite Crew membership is an interesting idea. Players can sign up for the system for $11.99 per month. In return, they receive the Battle Pass, an exclusive cosmetic set, and 1,000 V-Bucks to use as they please.
January 2021 was the second month of the Crew system, and it wasn’t without its speed bumps. Some players logged in on January 1 to see that their Green Arrow skin pack was nowhere to be found.
Even more players had to wait over 2 weeks to receive their V-Bucks for the month. The system is still new, but it’s clear that Epic have some polishing to do.
As a way to throw Fortnite Crew members a bone, Epic are offering a free “Members Only” emote to anyone who signs up for the Crew pack.
You need to sign up for a Fortnite Crew membership and log into Fortnite before February 15. This timing means that non-members can wait and see what the February cosmetic pack holds before committing.
The Crew membership, when it’s working, is a good deal for dedicated Fortnite players who want to get the most bang for their buck. An exclusive skin, pickaxe, back bling, and 1,000 V-Bucks is well worth the $11.99 price tag.
We’ll let you know when we learn more about the February Fortnite Crew pack. Until then, enjoy Season 5.

The Fortnite Season 5 Week 7 challenges are here. Take a look at how to complete all of them in this challenge guide.
Fortnite Season 5 Week 7 is here. Take a look at all of the challenges and how to complete them.
Fortnite Season 5 is chugging along, but there’s still about two months left. The holiday break extended the latest season, so there’s still plenty of time to make your way through the Battle Pass.
The Week 7 challenges are relatively straightforward, with most of them able to be completed without too much effort.
A couple of these challenges will have you searching the same area in Slurpy Swamp, so a favorable bus path in Team Rumble will allow you to complete them in one shot. Here’s what you’ll need to do.
Fortnite Season 5 Week 7 challenges
- Visit Houses in Slurpy Swamp in One Match (3)
- Collect Books from Holly Hedges and Sweaty Sands (5)
- Consume Shield Potions (3)
- Destroy Slurp Barrels (10)
- Search Chests in Slurpy Swamp (7)
- Gain Max Shields in a Single Match (1)
- Eliminations with Zero Shields (1)
The good news in the Week 7 challenges is that all of them can be completed in Team Rumble. We have a separate article detailing the locations of Books in Holly Hedges and Sweaty Sands. You can find that here.

The Legendary challenge requires players to deal damage to opponents in Vehicles. This one is going to be a headache, as there’s no way to force another player to be inside of a car or boat when you shoot them.
Hopefully, you can get into a game of Team Rumble with like-minded enemies – sitting in Motorboats and trading shots with you. If not, it’s going to take some serious gaming to finish this one. Good luck!
