Ready to Rumble with a Roommate? A Hilarious Guide to Split-Screen Fortnite on PS4 (Chapter 3)**
Feeling the itch to drop into Fortnite with a buddy, but tired of yelling across the room with questionable mic quality? Fear not, fellow warriors! This guide will have you and your teammate coordinating those Victory Royales in split-screen glory, with minimal furniture damage and a whole lot of laughs.
Step 1: Acquiring Your Weapon (The Second Controller, That Is)
This isn't hand-to-hand combat, but you will need a second PlayStation controller. Do not, under any circumstances, attempt to wrestle your existing controller away from your partner. If they're deeply invested in building a ten-story skyscraper, trust me, it'll end poorly.
Pro Tip: If bribery is your game, dangle the promise of "shotgun dibs" for the first few matches. Just be prepared to back it up with your skills!
Step 2: Summoning Your Second Player (Without Sacrificing a Small Animal)
Plug in your second controller and turn that bad boy on. The PS4 should recognize it with a delightful chime (or a burst of flashing lights, if you're feeling particularly rave-y). Now, here comes the fun part:
A) They Have a PSN Account: Great! Have them sign in using their usual login details. Easy peasy, lemon squeezy.
B) Account-Less Adventurer? No worries! Your PS4 should offer the option to sign in as a guest. Just be aware that guest accounts won't have access to their fancy skins or all their hard-earned V-Bucks. Think of it as a Fortnite trial by fire!
Step 3: The Moment of Truth (Prepare for Mild Button Mashing)**
Once your second player is logged in, you'll see a prompt in the bottom right corner of the screen telling them to press a button to join the party. This is where the button mashing might come in.
For the record, PlayStation players should hold down the Triangle button. If they get over-enthusiastic and launch into a full-on DDR routine, gently nudge them in the right direction. Hey, building those Fortnite reflexes takes practice!
Step 4: Congratulations! You've Split the Screen (and Hopefully Not Your Friendship)
You should now be in glorious split-screen mode, ready to dominate the competition. Just a heads up, things might look a little smaller on each screen. Be prepared to yell dramatic warnings like "SNIPER LEFT SIDE!" or "OMG, THERE'S A GIANT ROBOT BEHIND YOU!" Because clear communication is key, folks.
Bonus Tip: If your split-screen partner starts complaining about screen size, remind them of the joys of teamwork. Sharing is caring, and Victory Royales are sweeter with a buddy!
There you have it, folks! With these simple steps, you'll be dominating Fortnite in split-screen with your partner-in-crime in no time. Now get out there, loot some chests, and don't forget to floss on those unfortunate souls you eliminate. Just maybe not directly in your teammate's face. Happy gaming!
