Watch on YouTube Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 1 Flipped Overview Trailer How to slide in Fortnite explained The ability to slide is a brand new mechanic introduced in Fortnite Chapter 3. It allows you to perform a cool-looking and rather helpful movement whenever you're descending a surface. In order to slide in Fortnite, all you have to do is press the crouch button as you're descending on a surface. The surfaces can be anything from a slope to a mountain, but even slight floor variations will work. It's worth noting that if you're already doing a crouch and begin to descend, it won't automatically turn into a slide - you have to do it manually as you're descending. You can shoot while sliding, which is incredibly helpful - but as you can see, it can be hard to take screenshots while doing so. As well as being a slick way to move around the map, you can shoot while sliding in Fortnite. Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 4 is here and with it comes a new Battle Pass!
