Fortnite Season 7 has already treated players to an invasion and a solid reorganizing of in-game features. There's the usual new battle pass, map changes, and new weapons as well. Those weapons that fit in with the alien invasion theme have expanded Fortnite's weapon pool. There are more weapons to sort out in your inventory in the middle of your matches. With the beginning of Fortnite, players have been organizing their inventory manually.

   According to a new leak, Epic Games may be working to find a solution to the problem in Fortnite with a preferred slot item type feature. For a while, Fortnite fans have been wishing for a way to sort weapons. Changes could soon be implemented. HYPEX, the Fortnite leaker states that a preferred slot item type feature has been in the works since the 17.00 update. The change means that when you pick up a weapon, the game would automatically sort it into your desired slot. The example HYPEX gives is that if you pick up a shotgun, it will automatically be assigned to the third slot, or whichever slot you prefer.

   A feature like this has been requested by the Fortnite community for some time. After all, it would save time and frustration. It can be difficult and time consuming to sort loot every match. Also, the process of looting fallen players must be done quickly and efficiently at times. This is true if the loot has dropped mid fight or near the edge of the Storm.

   As this information has not been confirmed by Epic Games yet, it should be taken with a pinch of salt for now. Hopefully we will get to know more as Season 7 continues to progress. However, there is no doubt that a preferred slot type option would be welcomed by Fortnite fans.
