Ever wondered how you can move faster in Fortnite? You’re not alone. Today, we’re diving into how to sprint in Fortnite when you’re using a keyboard and mouse, so you can outrun the storm and your opponents.

If you play Fortnite on PC, knowing how to sprint with your keyboard and mouse can give you the edge you need. Let’s find out how to do it.

Quick Steps to Sprint in Fortnite

To sprint in Fortnite using a keyboard and mouse, simply hold down the Shift key while moving forward with the W key. It’s that easy! Sprinting allows you to move faster, but remember, it also makes you more noticeable.

Fortnite automatically sets sprinting as a default action when you move using the W key. However, if you want to ensure you’re sprinting, holding down the Shift key as you move forward is your best bet. This method works seamlessly across all platforms where you can play Fortnite with a keyboard and mouse, including PC, Mac, and consoles when a keyboard and mouse are connected.
