How to Crouch in Fortnite - PC, PS4/5, Xbox, Switch Crouch Guide

Are you a fan of Fortnite? Ever wanted to know how to crouch in the game and why it's useful? This quick and easy guide will explain everything you need to know. Let's get started!

Fortnite Crouch allows your character to squat or bend down in the game. It's a common move across different games, that gives you strategic advantages.

In Fortnite, crouching isn't just about looking stealthy. It has practical benefits too. It reduces the noise your character makes when moving, making it tougher for enemies to hear you. Also, it makes your character smaller, making them harder to hit, especially in close combat.

Now, how to crouch depends on the gaming platform you're using. Here are the controls to crouch based on your gaming device:

To crouch in Fortnite Xbox, press the left shoulder button if you're using "Old School" or "Quick Builder" configuration. For "Combat Pro" configuration, give the right thumbstick a quick tap.

To crouch in Fortnite PS4/5, press the "L1" button located on the left side of your controller.

To crouch in Fortnite PC, press the "Left Ctrl" key. This action allows you to crouch until you press the same key again.

To crouch in Fortnite on Switch, simply give the right joystick a quick tap.

Fortnite also allows you to tailor the controls based on your preference. If you're not comfortable with the default crouch control settings, you can customize them within the game settings menu.

To customize crouch controls in Fortnite, press [ESC], navigate to Options, and depending on your platform, select either "Keyboard Controls" or "Controller Mapping." Then, in the "Movement" section, adjust the key or button you prefer for crouching.
