How to Sit Out on Fortnite for PC Players
Last updated
Ever wondered how to take a short break from the action-packed world of Fortnite without leaving the game entirely? Well, sitting out in Fortnite lets you do just that! Especially if you’re playing on PC, this handy feature allows you to step away without disconnecting from your squad or lobby.
So, how do you activate this “sit out” mode on PC while keeping your spot warm in the game? Let’s dive into the details.
The Simple Steps to Sit Out in Fortnite on PC
To sit out in Fortnite when you’re on a PC, first, make sure you’re in the game lobby. Look for the three horizontal lines (the menu button) in the bottom right corner of your screen and click on it. From the menu that pops up, select the ‘Party Settings’ option. Here, you’ll find the option to ‘Sit Out.’ Just click on it, and voilà, you’re sitting out! Your squad can continue their adventure while you take your break.
This feature is super useful if you need to answer a call, grab a snack, or just rest your eyes for a bit. Remember, you can always jump back into the action by following the same steps and selecting ‘Join as Player’ instead.
