Fortnite Aimbot Settings: Per-Weapon Configs That Look Natural

The best Fortnite aimbot settings are different for every weapon. A shotgun fight in a box lasts half a second, an AR fight across a field lasts ten, and one global config cannot look natural in both. This guide walks through the per-weapon configs in Fortnite Private, what each setting does and a sensible place to start.

Why per-weapon configs matter

Fortnite Private lets you set separate aimbot values for shotguns, ARs, SMGs, snipers, pistols and other weapons. When you swap weapons, the cheat swaps configs with you. That matters because the thing that gets players reported is behaviour that does not fit the weapon: a sniper that tracks like a laser, or a shotgun that never misses a flick.

Each weapon config has the same building blocks:

• Hitbox: head, neck, chest or random. See bone selection for the idea behind it.
• Smoothing: how gradually the aim moves onto the target. Higher is slower and more human.
• Disable smoothing: a per-weapon switch that removes smoothing entirely for that class.
• FOV: how far from your crosshair a target can be picked up.
• Max aim distance: targets beyond this range are ignored.
• Prediction: leads moving targets, which matters for projectile weapons.

You also choose an aim key, so the aimbot only works while you hold it. Holding a key is a good habit: you decide when it helps, instead of it pulling your crosshair at random.

Shotguns

Shotgun fights are close and fast, which is why players are tempted to turn smoothing off here. It can feel right, because a real shotgun flick is quick. The catch is consistency. A human who flicks fast misses some of the time. An aimbot with no smoothing does not.

• Hitbox: chest or neck. Shotgun headshots do huge damage, and a player who lands a headshot on every pump will get clipped.
• Smoothing: low, but not off. Only use "disable smoothing" if you also keep the FOV very small.
• FOV: small. You should already be roughly on target before it helps.
• Max distance: short. Shotguns do little at range anyway.
• Prediction: off or low. At close range it barely matters.

Assault rifles

ARs are where a smooth, believable aimbot pays off most. Mid-range fights give spectators time to watch your crosshair, so it should look like tracking, not snapping.

• Hitbox: chest, or random to mix in some neck and head hits.
• Smoothing: high. Keep smoothing on for ARs.
• FOV: small to medium.
• Max distance: medium. Long-range beams with an AR stand out on replays.
• Prediction: low to medium, depending on the weapon.

SMGs

SMGs fire fast at close to mid range and are often used to finish someone in a build fight. Treat them like a faster AR.

• Hitbox: chest or random.
• Smoothing: medium to high.
• FOV: small to medium.
• Max distance: short to medium.

Snipers

Snipers are where prediction earns its place, because sniper rounds in Fortnite travel and drop rather than hitting instantly. Advanced prediction in Fortnite Private leads moving targets for you.

• Hitbox: chest or neck. A long string of moving-target headshots is the fastest way to look wrong.
• Smoothing: high. Snapping onto a target across the map is very visible.
• FOV: small.
• Prediction: on.
• Max distance: set it to what a good player would realistically hit.

Pistols and other weapons

Pistols are usually backups, so give them a calm config: chest, high smoothing, small FOV. The other slot covers anything that does not fit a class. Keep it conservative, or turn the aimbot off for it.

Triggerbot

A triggerbot fires when your crosshair is on an enemy. It pairs well with shotguns and snipers, where one well-timed shot decides the fight. Two cautions: perfect reaction times look robotic over many fights, and a triggerbot that fires as soon as someone peeks a wall edit can look strange in a replay. Use it with the aimbot set conservatively, not on top of a fast config.

Build vs Zero Build

Fortnite has two main styles of play, and they change how your config should feel.

Build modes are dominated by box fights and edits. Targets appear and disappear quickly as walls go up and come down. Keep the FOV small so the aimbot is not dragging you toward someone behind a half-edited wall, and lean on your shotgun and SMG configs.

Zero Build has more open, mid-range fights and more time spent tracking players who are running or sliding. Your AR config does most of the work, so make sure it is smooth and that the max distance is realistic. Prediction is more useful here because targets move in longer, more readable lines.

If you play both, save a config for each with import/export configs and load the right one before you queue.

Auto aim and render distance

Fortnite Private also lists auto aim and an aimbot render distance. Auto aim takes the aim key out of the loop, which removes your control over when it helps. If you care about the account, leave it off and use the aim key. The render distance sets how far the aimbot looks for targets in the first place, so keep it in line with your max aim distance.

Starting config

These are starting points, not final numbers. Load them, play some casual matches, and adjust one setting at a time.

Global: aim key on, auto aim off, triggerbot off at first. Once you are happy, export the config so you can restore it after an update.

Before you play

No config makes a cheat undetectable. A natural config lowers your chance of being reported. Detection is decided by Fortnite's anti-cheat, so check the status page before you play, especially after a Fortnite update. Our guide to Fortnite cheats without getting banned covers the habits that go with these settings.

Frequently asked questions

Should I use head hitbox in Fortnite?

Not as your main setting. Chest or neck gives you consistent damage without a headshot rate that looks wrong. Random is a reasonable middle ground on ARs.

When should I disable smoothing?

Only on shotguns, and only with a very small FOV. Everywhere else, smoothing is what makes the aim look human.

Is prediction worth turning on?

For snipers, yes, because their shots travel and drop. For shotguns at close range it makes little difference.

Do these settings work in both build and Zero Build?

Yes, but tune them for each. Build favours small FOV and close-range configs; Zero Build leans on a smooth AR config. Save one of each.

Does Fortnite Private support controllers?

Controller support is not listed as a feature. Check the setup guides or ask support before buying if you play on a controller.
