Set your mouse and keyboard to a 1,000 Hz polling rate to ensure the computer checks for input every millisecond.

Switching to the "Performance - Lower Graphical Fidelity" rendering mode is the single most impactful change for most players.

Lowering audio quality and disabling "Record Replays" can free up CPU resources, further minimizing stutter and delay. Hardware and Peripherals

Always play in Full-screen mode to grant the game exclusive control over the display, which reduces lag compared to windowed modes.

For PC players, Windows and GPU settings play a major role in responsiveness:

Minimizing input delay in Fortnite is essential for maintaining competitive performance, particularly in high-stakes building and editing scenarios. While achieving literal "zero" delay is technically impossible due to physical hardware and network constraints, players can significantly reduce latency through a combination of in-game settings, system optimizations, and peripheral tuning. In-Game Configuration

Using a wired mouse, keyboard, and Ethernet connection eliminates the inherent latency of wireless signals. System-Level Tweaks (PC)

Optimization of your physical equipment ensures that your inputs are registered as quickly as possible:
