Last updated
Ever wondered how to pick up the pace and start sprinting in Fortnite on your PC? You’re in the right place! This guide will break down everything you need to know to get your character moving faster in the game.
So, how exactly does one start sprinting in Fortnite while playing on a PC? Let’s dive in and find out!
Pressing the Right Keys to Sprint
To start sprinting in Fortnite on your PC, it’s all about knowing which keys to press. The default key to sprint in Fortnite is the Left Shift key. Hold it down while moving, and voilà, you’re sprinting across the Fortnite universe!
If for some reason the Left Shift key doesn’t work for you or you prefer using a different key, don’t worry! Fortnite allows you to customize your controls. You can head to the game settings, look for the ‘Input’ tab, and under ‘Keyboard Controls,’ you can assign sprinting to a key that suits your play style better.
Why Sprinting Matters in Fortnite
Sprinting is super important in Fortnite. It helps you move faster across the map, escape the storm, or chase down enemies. Plus, it makes it harder for opponents to hit you. Mastering the art of sprinting can seriously up your game.
Beyond just moving faster, sprinting is critical during battles. It allows you to quickly take cover or flank enemies. Remember, though, sprinting creates more noise, so use it wisely when you’re trying to be sneaky.
