Ready to Rumble with a Roommate? A Hilariously Helpful Guide to Fortnite Split-Screen on PS4 (2022 Edition)
So, you and your trusty roommate are itching for some Fortnite action, but sharing a controller just isn't cutting it anymore. (Let's be honest, those accidental pickaxe swings to the face get old fast.) Fear not, fellow warriors! This guide will turn your PS4 into a glorious split-screen battleground, because who needs therapy when you can frag together, right?
Step 1: Gear Up Your Guest
First things first, grab your second controller and make sure it's charged. A dead controller in a heated Fortnite match is a recipe for a real-life throwdown (unless you're throwing down snacks, in which case, carry on).
Pro Tip: If your roommate mysteriously forgot their controller, "accidentally" trip over their bag while humming the Fortnite theme song. Subtlety is key.
Step 2: The Lobby Lottery
Boot up Fortnite and navigate to the dazzling lobby. This is where the real challenge begins: convincing your roommate they shouldn't pick the "flamboyant banana" outfit. Seriously, those things are bright enough to attract enemy fire from miles away.
Step 3: The Joy of Split-Screen Salvation
With your roommate (hopefully) not resembling a giant neon banana, have them turn on their controller and sign in to their glorious Epic Games account. A prompt will magically appear, beckoning them to press the Triangle button (because apparently, circles are for squares).
Step 4: Duos or Squads? Choose Your Destiny (and Maybe Grab Some Snacks)
Now that you're both chilling in the lobby (hopefully with a sensible outfit choice), it's time to pick your poison. Duos will test your teamwork (and tolerance for bad landing spots), while Squads allow you to recruit some unfortunate souls online (perfect for when your social skills are lacking).
Step 5: May the Odds Be Ever in Your Favor
Jump into the match and unleash your inner building maestro (or perhaps your inner loot goblin, no judgement here). Remember, communication is key. Shouting nonsensical battle cries is fun, but clear instructions are even better.
Bonus Tip: If things get rough, deploy the ultimate distraction technique: blame the lag. It's a classic for a reason.
There you have it, folks! With these handy dandy steps, you'll be dominating the split-screen scene in no time. Remember, laughter (and maybe a few friendly jabs) are the true victories in any Fortnite session. Now go forth and conquer (or at least try not to get eliminated first)!
