How to improve your ping in Fortnite

Having the best ping in Fortnite is crucial for smooth and responsive gameplay. After the new announcement from Epic Games that NA West and NA East will combine in NA Central, there will be more players struggling with their ping. Having unoptimized internet connection settings can lead to worse input delay, ping, and latency. The first thing you will need to do is make sure you have a reliable ethernet connection. Wi-Fi can be good also, but it is more inconsistent and not as reliable.

    • Under Access type, at connections.
