How Do I Run in Fortnite? Unleashing Your Speed in the Game!
Last updated
Ever wondered how to pick up the pace and sprint across the island in Fortnite? You’re in the right place to find out exactly how to run and leave your opponents in the dust!
Let’s dive straight into uncovering the simple method to running in Fortnite. Whether you’re dodging bullets or rushing to the safe zone, knowing how to run is key.
The Short Answer to Running in Fortnite
Running in Fortnite is pretty straightforward. All you need to do is to push the movement joystick (on consoles) or press the default movement keys (W, A, S, D on PC) and you’ll automatically start running. To sprint, which is running even faster, you usually need to hold down the Shift key on PC or push the joystick further on consoles.
Remember, running makes you more visible and audible to other players. So, use it wisely to zip across the island, escape danger, or surprise your foes. But, be aware of your surroundings as it’s easier to get spotted while running or sprinting.
