So You Want to Be a Crouching Tiger, Hidden Badass in Fortnite (PS4 Edition)?
Let's face it, running around like a headless chicken in Fortnite isn't exactly a recipe for victory. You need some sneaky moves in your arsenal, and that, my friend, is where the crouch button comes in. But fear not, fellow PS4 warrior, for this guide will turn you from a bumbling fool to a crouching connoisseur in no time.
The Great Reveal: Unveiling the Crouch Button
The answer you've been waiting for, with dramatic music in the background (because crouching is that cool): The crouch button on your PS4 controller is the left shoulder button, also known as L1. Yes, it's that simple. Just press and hold L1 to become a master of minimizing your glorious self.
Pro-Tip: Don't confuse L1 with R1, the button on the right shoulder. Unless you want to be accidentally reloading mid-firefight, which, let's be honest, isn't the most intimidating battle cry.
Crouching Like a Champ: Mastering the Art
Now that you know the secret handshake (or should we say button press), let's explore the wonderful world of crouching:
-
The Sneaky Stalker: Crouching makes you a smaller target, perfect for sneaking up on unsuspecting enemies. Imagine their surprise when you pop out from behind a conveniently placed rock, shotgun blazing!
-
The Peak-a-Boo Warrior: Crouching lets you peek over cover without fully exposing yourself. Perfect for those tense moments when you need to see what's going on without becoming a bullet magnet.
-
The Dodge Master: A well-timed crouch can throw off your opponent's aim. Just don't overdo it; nobody likes a disco dancer in a firefight.
Word to the Wise: Crouching does make you slower, so don't get caught with your tactical trousers down (because, let's face it, nobody wants that happening). Use it strategically and you'll be a crouching champion in no time.
Bonus Round: Advanced Crouching Techniques (For Those Who Want to Show Off)
Feeling fancy? Here are some advanced moves to impress your squad (or at least make them chuckle):
-
The Crouch Jump: Crouch and then jump for a slightly higher jump that can confuse enemies. Just don't expect to become Spider-Man all of a sudden.
-
The Crouch Strafe: Crouch while moving side to side to make yourself a harder target. Just remember, this isn't ballet, so don't get too fancy with your footwork.
-
The Teammate Troll: Crouch repeatedly next to a teammate to completely mess with their aim. Warning: This may lead to them accidentally pickaxing you. Use with caution (and maybe some laughter).
So there you have it, folks! You're now well on your way to becoming a Fortnite crouching champion. Remember, practice makes perfect, so get out there and crouch your way to victory! Just don't forget to stand up straight every now and then, your knees will thank you.
