So You Wanna Bust a Move in Fortnite on Switch? A Totally Not Serious Guide (Because Seriously, It's Easy)
Let's face it, mastering the art of the victory royale is only half the fun in Fortnite. The other half? Dropping epic emotes that make your opponents cry tears of laughter (or maybe just regular tears, you do you boo). But hey, you're a Switch player, and button mashing your way to a dance party might seem like a recipe for disaster. Fear not, fellow island warrior! This guide will have you moonwalking like a pro in no time.
Step 1: Ditch the Pickaxe and Channel Your Inner Dancer (Unless You Wanna Do the Pickaxe Emote, That Works Too)
First things first, you gotta be in the game. Emoting in the lobby is a surefire way to confuse everyone (including yourself). So, drop onto that beautiful island, loot up like a champ, and get ready to bust a move.
Step 2: The Magical Downward Thrust (Yes, That's What We're Calling It)
This is where the real magic happens. Look at your controller, that beautiful piece of plastic that's about to turn you into a dance machine. See that D-pad (the little square with the arrows)? Now, focus on the down arrow. Gently (no pickaxe-wielding rage here) press it once.
Voila! A dazzling emote wheel appears, showcasing six of your finest moves. We're talking flailing chickens, celebratory horns, and maybe even the floss (because hey, classics never die).
Step 3: Operation: Show Off Those Fancy Moves
Now comes the fun part. Tilt the left control stick in the direction of the emote you crave. Think of it like a compass guiding you to glorious dance victory. Once you've found your perfect move, let go of the control stick. Boom! Your character explodes into a flurry of flamboyant celebration (or questionable dance moves, depending on the emote).
Pro Tip: Want to switch things up? Hold down the D-pad instead of a quick tap. This brings up your entire emote collection, letting you choose from your entire library of funky fresh moves.
So There You Have It! The Not-So-Secret Art of Switch Emoting
Now you're ready to dominate the dance floor, er, battlefield, with your undeniable emote skills. Just remember, with great emote power comes great responsibility. Use it wisely (or use it to taunt that pesky camper who keeps sniping you, we won't judge).
Bonus Round: Embarrassing Yourself with Emoticon Shenanigans
While you're in the emote menu, don't forget to check out the emotes with little speech bubbles! These bad boys let you fling witty (or not-so-witty) remarks at your opponents. Just a heads up, these can be a double-edged sword. Landing a perfect one-liner after a clutch victory is pure gold. Using a sassy emote after getting eliminated...well, let's just say it might not make you any friends.
So there you have it, folks! Now get out there and boogie woogie (or whatever dance your heart desires). Remember, confidence is key, so own those moves and emote like nobody's watching (even though they probably are). Happy dancing!
