Of course, sprinting super fast can\u2019t be maintained forever, so a new sprint meter will tell you how much longer you can move at that pace.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>No one wants to get left behind, though, and if all your rival players are running across the map at speed, you won\u2019t want to get caught short at any point. Keep on reading, then, and we\u2019ll tell you how to tactical sprint in the latest version of Fortnite.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>How to sprint in Fortnite on PC<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>To sprint in Fortnite on PC, you\u2019ll want to press the\u00a0<strong>left-hand shift button\u00a0<\/strong>on your keyboard as your character is moving about. Hold down that button while you\u2019re moving your character and you should notice that they get a little bit speedier, which could give you a handy advantage on the battlefield.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>How to sprint in Fortnite on Switch<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>To sprint in the Nintendo Switch version of Fortnite, you should\u00a0<strong>press in on the left analogue stick<\/strong>, which should be found on your left-hand Joy-Con. This might be slightly awkward to do, but the benefits to your game are not to be scoffed at!<\/p> <h2><strong>How to sprint in Fortnite on Xbox<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>To sprint in Fortnite on Xbox One, Xbox Series X or Xbox Series S, you need to\u00a0<strong>press in on the left analogue stick <\/strong>(known as LSB) when your character is moving around. This is how you enact a tactical sprint, which could get you out of a tight spot and keep you in the game a little bit longer.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>How to sprint in Fortnite on PlayStation<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>To sprint in Fortnite on PS4 or PS5, you just need to\u00a0<strong>press in on the left analogue stick\u00a0<\/strong>(known as L3), while moving your character about, which will give you the speed boost you require. If you\u2019re a player of action-adventure games, you\u2019ll know this is a fairly common control scheme for sprinting.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s worth noting that, in the Fortnite settings menu, you should be able to map sprint to a different button if you don\u2019t enjoy pressing down on your analogue sticks. Perhaps you\u2019d prefer to have it on a shoulder button? That\u2019s totally your choice!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Discover more with Fortnite creative map codes: <\/strong><a href=\"\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/technology\/gaming\/fortnite-horror-scary-map-codes-guide\/&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener&quot; noopener noreferrer\">Fortnite horror maps<\/a> |\u00a0<a href=\"\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/technology\/gaming\/fortnite-map-codes-action-adventure-creative-codes-best-creative-map-codes\/&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener&quot; noopener noreferrer\">Fortnite action-adventure maps<\/a> | <a href=\"\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/technology\/gaming\/fortnite-hide-and-seek-creative-map-codes-april-2021-best-map-codes-this-month\/&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener&quot; noopener noreferrer\">Fortnite hide and seek maps<\/a> | <a href=\"\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/technology\/gaming\/best-fortnite-zone-wars-creative-map-codes\/&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener&quot; noopener noreferrer\">Fortnite Zone Wars maps<\/a> | <a href=\"\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/technology\/gaming\/fortnite-fighting-creative-map-codes-best\/&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener&quot; noopener noreferrer\">Fortnite fighting maps<\/a> | <a href=\"\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/technology\/gaming\/fortnite-parkour-map-codes\/&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener&quot; noopener noreferrer\">Fortnite parkour maps<\/a> | <a href=\"\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/technology\/gaming\/best-fortnite-creative-map-codes\/&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener&quot; noopener noreferrer\">best Fortnite creative maps<\/a> | <a href=\"\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/technology\/gaming\/squid-game-fortnite-map-code\/&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener&quot; noopener noreferrer\">Fortnite Squid Game map codes<\/a> | <a href=\"\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/technology\/gaming\/fortnite-monopoly-code-back-blings\/&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener&quot; noopener noreferrer\">Fortnite Monopoly code<\/a> | <a href=\"\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/technology\/gaming\/im-a-celebrity-itv-fortnite\/&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener&quot; noopener noreferrer\">Fortnite I\u2019m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here code<\/a> | <a href=\"\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/tv\/sci-fi\/doctor-who-fortnite-map-newsupdate\/&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener&quot; noopener noreferrer\">Fortnite Doctor Who map code<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Follow <a href=\"\/\/twitter.com\/RadioTimesGames&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener&quot; noopener noreferrer\">Radio Times Gaming on Twitter<\/a> for all the latest insights.
