Preferred Item Slots have been added to Fortnite. Gamers will have their firearms and essentials show up in the same tab each time they grab them.

There is a recommended Preferred Item Slots allocation in Fornite.

It's easier to memorize where your firearms are if you start with a short-range firearm, then a mid-ranged firearm (Assault Rifle), and finally a long-distance firearm. The last two slots are more versatile, but we suggest a Utility, which consists of Grenades and Fishing Rods, and a Consumable Item like a Shield in the final slot.

The Preferred Item Slots are allocated to the appropriate slot until the inventory is full. If you have ‘Auto-Sort Consumables to Right’ enabled in Settings, Fortnite will continue to function normally. Make sure you subscribe to our push-notifications and never miss an update from the world of video games.

The Preferred Item Slots option is turned on in the settings. Every weapon or item you collect will be allocated to the appropriate slot until your inventory is full. When you obtain a rarer variant of a firearm, the lesser rarity will replace the first one.
