In Fortnite battle royale, sometimes the difference between winning and losing comes down to who can navigate their inventory fastest. If you find yourself desperately swapping weapons to the point where you might be tossing health kits at opponents as you fumble through your virtual pockets, it might be time to use Preferred Item Slots, a fairly new quality-of-life feature that allows you to semi-automate the process of organizing your loot. Here's how to use Preferred Item Slots in Fortnite.

Fortnite - Preferred Item Slots

To find the Preferred Item Slots menu, head into Fortnite's settings and scroll to the second tab, called simply "Game" settings and depicted by a gear icon. Scroll to Preferred Item Slots and select "Configure."

This will open up a customization menu that you'll need to tweak to your liking. What Preferred Item Slots does is automatically move certain loot to certain spots in your five-slot inventory space as decided by your presets. Say, for example, you really like to have your assault rifle as your leftmost item, followed by an SMG, and then a sniper, before filling the right side of your inventory with throwables like firefly jars and healing items like Slurp Juice. With Preferred Item Slots, the game will stick each of those loot items into their designated spot in your inventory, so you always know where they are.
