Edit courses in Fortnite are custom training maps designed to improve a player's editing skills.
Editing is a core mechanic in Fortnite's building system, allowing players to modify structures.

Creating your own edit courses in Fortnite can be a fun and rewarding experience, allowing you to practice your building and editing skills in a controlled environment. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to create your own edit course in Fortnite's Creative mode 2.0.

Getting Started With Edit Courses in Fortnite

  1. Launch Fortnite: Start the game and select 'Creative' mode from the main menu.

  2. Create a New Island: Once in the Creative Hub, approach one of the featured rifts, or go to one of the personal rifts where you can create a new island. Choose an island template that suits your needs. For an edit course, a flat and open template is usually best.

  3. Enter Your Island: Walk into the rift to load your island.

Building the Edit Course

  1. Plan Your Course: Before you start building, it's a good idea to have a rough plan. Decide what kind of structures and sequences you want to include in your course. You might want to incorporate various building materials (wood, brick, metal), and different types of edits (doors, windows, half-walls, etc.).

  2. Open the Creative Inventory: Press the designated button (e.g., Tab on PC, Up on the D-Pad on consoles) to open your inventory. Here you can find all the building materials and props you need.

  3. Start Building: Select the building materials and start constructing the basic structure of your course.

  4. Implement Edit Scenarios: Create specific sections that focus on different editing techniques. For example:

    • Rapid wall edits to practice quick changes.

    • Stair flips for advanced maneuvering.

    • Tunneling sections for endgame practice.

  5. Use Devices: Fortnite Creative offers various devices like timers, scoreboards, and spawn points. Utilize these to track progress, time runs, or create start and end points for your course.

  6. Add Aesthetics: While functionality is key, adding aesthetic elements can make your course more enjoyable. Use decorations and thematic elements to give your course a unique look.

Testing and Iteration

  1. Test Your Course: Run through your course to ensure everything works as intended. Check if the edits are challenging yet doable, and the course flows smoothly.

  2. Iterate: Based on your testing, make adjustments. You might need to tweak the difficulty, fix any structural issues, or even add new sections.

  3. Get Feedback: If possible, invite friends or other players to try your course and provide feedback.

Sharing Your Course

  1. Publish: Once you're satisfied with your course, you can publish it. Go to the main menu of your island, and find the option to publish.

  2. Share the Code: After publishing, you'll receive a unique island code. Share this code with others so they can try your course.

  3. Promote: If you want more people to know about your course, consider promoting it on social media, Reddit, or Fortnite forums.
