Crouching is a fundamental mechanic in Fortnite, allowing players to lower their profile and gain a tactical advantage in combat. By crouching, players can reduce their hitbox, making them a smaller target for opponents. Additionally, crouching can be used to move more quietly, making it easier to sneak up on enemies or avoid detection.
To crouch in Fortnite, players can press the dedicated crouch button, which is typically bound to the “C” key on PC or the left thumbstick on consoles. Crouching can be toggled on or off by holding down the crouch button, or players can choose to hold down the button to crouch and release it to stand back up.
