How to Slide Kick in Fortnite

To be successful in Fortnite, there are no limits. Having a good aim, using items well in the game or having a good positional knowledge are just some of them. But the first thing you have to learn to play Fortnite well is good movement. Epic Games will think similarly because they add many movement mechanics to the game. Today’s topic is about one of them: How to slide kick in Fortnite?

There are many innovations in the movement mechanics, which have become even more important after the Zero Build update. The tactical sprint, which allows you to run faster than normal but consumes a certain amount of stamina, is one of them. Now, the Slide Kick has been added to the game, which combines the slide animation with a devastating kick. This differs from a regular slide.

It is not known if this animation will stay in the game after Chapter 3 Season 4, which ends with the Fracture event. But for now, you can learn how to perform the Slide Kick in Fornite to enjoy the island in its current state.

How to Slide Kick in Fortnite

You don’t have to be a master of the game to successfully pull off this move. Even if you’re new to Fortnite, you can easily grasp it if you know the basic movement keys.

To slide kick in Fortnite, you first need to slide. Just start running and then press the crouch button. Your character will start to slide. You can automatically perform a slide kick when you come into contact with an opponent or an object before you stop sliding.

This move is easy to do for both PC and console players. If you’re using the default button settings, follow the steps below to perform a slide kick in Fortnite:

1. Sprint with Left Shift on PC or left analog button on Playstation/Xbox
2. Press the crouch key before the stamina bar is empty
3. You need to hold Left Ctrl to crouch on PC or LB/L1 on console
4. Contact with a target before the slide animation ends 

When you follow the above steps, you’ll start sliding with your character at maximum speed. You can increase this speed by sliding down a hill edge. However, if you want to start sliding regardless of the speed, it’s enough to hold your slide button while you’re running forward. You don’t necessarily need a tactical sprint.

How to Dislodge a Runaway Boulder with a Slide Kick in Fortnite

One of the missions in Chapter 3 Season 4 is to move rocks on the map with a slide kick. This mission gives players the opportunity to learn new mechanics. It’s quite easy to complete.

Find one of the large ball-shaped boulders scattered all over the Fortnite map, except in the southeast. Hit it a few times with your pickaxe to weaken it a bit. Then move a few feet away and start sliding towards the rock. If you hit the rock at the end of the animation, you can move it with a slide kick. A bit silly, but a fun task.

That’s all we shared about how to slide kick in Fortnite for now.  While it’s hard to become as much of a phenomenon as Slide Cancel in Warzone, it’s also fun to slide in Fortnite. Especially when you slide down a hill and shoot, you feel like you’re in an action movie.
