Update v7.20 will see an improvement to wall building.

Fortnite’s update v7.20 is going to roll out a change that will solve issues players are having when building a wall, specifically when it “builds partially below, or is obstructed by, the ground”.

Design lead, Eric Williamson, announced on Reddit that wall placement will be improved following the update, sharing before and after screenshots demonstrating how it will work.

“This feature will kick in when you attempt to place a [wall] that:

Requires a connection to a building piece
The connecting piece is at least 70% underground

Under those circumstances, the required connecting piece will now build automatically and for free. In addition, the connecting piece will inherit team ownership rules (and the material type) of the desired piece.”
