Epic Games recently announced the new Fortnite 17.20 patch update<\/a> and fans couldn’t be more excited. The update brings a host of new cosmetics, skins, bundles<\/a> and game changes, including major bug fixes and a brand new arena game mode. Epic Games even announced a $100,000 trios tournament called “Bugha’s Late Game<\/a>”.<\/p>\n

But that’s not all, Epic Games also revealed a new feature called “Preferred Item Slots” which will automatically assign items to preconfigured inventory slots, based on player preference. Here’s how the new feature will work and how you can use it.<\/p>\n

The feature is available by navigating to the “Game” tab of the “Settings” menu. Once in the menu, players can allocate which inventory space they prefer weapons or items to go into, upon pick up.<\/p>\n

This update is particularly useful for players who have preferential hotkeys for certain items. The new feature will allow them to essentially lock inventory slots to their chosen weapon or items.<\/p>\n
