Fortnite’s patch v17.20 is likely coming out this July 20. This isn’t just any ordinary update though. A feature that fans have long been asking for is finally making its way into the game. In Fortnite v17.20, Epic Games will introduce the new “Preferred Item Slots” feature, according to leakers.

This comes as huge news, especially for players who aren’t particularly good at managing their inventory. Now that “Preferred Item Slots” are coming to Fortnite, players can now designate items to specific inventory slots. Gone are the days where a player would accidentally select medical supplies and throw them towards the enemy. 

Players also have the option to assign multiple items to each slot. Depending on what you pick up first, your inventory will automatically adjust.  The new feature may not be as groundbreaking as it sounds, but this serves as a huge assist gameplay-wise for many.  Players no longer have to waste time arranging items in their inventory, especially in Fortnite where staying still can get you killed.

So far, this is the only news we've got regarding the next Fortnite update. Most likely, bug fixes and gameplay adjustments will be a part of the patch as usual. However, because the patch is arriving very soon, we can expect more information in the coming days.

Things are looking up for Fortnite. Recently, a lot of players found a new reason to come back and spend their V Bucks on Fortnite when King James arrived. Now, with a new inventory system in place, more people will likely be playing the game even more in the coming weeks.
