It’s hard to argue the fact that playing on a console is an undeniable handicap for those who rely on their building to win fights. In fact, there are many reasons why console players are slower and less effective builders than their PC counterparts. One of those reasons is that the original building setting on console is unintuitive and sluggish, forcing you to manually switch between different pieces before placing them. Fortunately, changing this is as simple as going into the settings and switching to the builder pro setting. This setting assigns each different piece—wall, ramp, cone and floor—to a single button input on the controller. From there you can even go deeper and customize which buttons correspond with which pieces allowing you to take full ownership of your building controls.
