Technique for Performing a Slide-Kick in Fortnite

To complete one of the quests in Fortnite’s Sweat Summer event during Chapter 5, Season 3, you will need to perform a slide-kick on another player. Here is a guide on how to do it.

The Fortnite Sweat Summer event has made its comeback, providing players with the chance to earn both cosmetic rewards and XP by completing various quests.

Despite the simplicity of most Sweat Summer event quests, completing one that requires slide-kicking a player may prove challenging for those who are not well-versed in the game’s movement and mechanics.

Despite that, once you become familiar with it, being able to accomplish this can prove beneficial in various scenarios beyond simply finishing the quest. This guide will provide step-by-step instructions on how to achieve it.

Sprint and crouch to slide-kick in Fortnite.

To perform a slide-kick move in Fortnite, simply sprint towards a player and press the crouch button right before colliding with them. On PC, this can be achieved by pressing the Shift and left CTRL buttons, while for console players, sprint by pressing the left stick and then crouch by pressing the right stick once you have reached full speed.

If you are able to time it correctly, they will be launched into the air and potentially suffer fatal fall damage.

In some ways, this is comparable to maneuvering across a vehicle in Fortnite, although it can be more challenging as you may not always anticipate the player’s movements. However, a tactic that can be effective is to slide and kick a distracted player in a high-traffic area or popular Fortnite location.

After successfully finishing this task, you will receive a notification confirming the completion of the quest and a reward of 25,000 XP. This has long been a favored strategy among the community for conquering elevated areas.

Don’t worry if you can’t pull it off on your first try in Fortnite, it may take a few attempts. Before attempting, make sure to secure some of the top weapons from Chapter 5, Season 3 for added safety. To save time, it’s worth trying to complete the other quests in one match.
