HOW TO ENABLE GYRO (AND WHAT THIS DOES)
Enable or disable gyro controls in the “Touch and Motion” tab of the settings. Do this by toggling “Gyro Aiming” to either on or off. When on, you’ll be able to control the camera by turning the controller. This can offer more precision than standard stick aiming, but it doesn’t have to replace it entirely — usually, players will still use the right stick for most camera control while using gyro aiming for finer adjustments that are difficult to do with a thumbstick. You’ll notice more gyro options in the Touch and Motion section. Let’s go over them.
BRING IN FLICK STICK!
We’ve added a flick stick to complement the gyro experience! Found in the “Touch and Motion” tab as well, turn on the flick stick so that when you point the right stick in a certain direction, the camera will quickly flick to face that direction. Since this means you can no longer aim up or down with the right stick, this requires gyro aiming to be enabled. Flick stick is generally recommended for experienced gyro players, but some new gyro players get a hold of it quickly.
For players who want to give flick stick a go, we recommend setting your Look Stick Effect to Enables. This way, even in an aim mode in which the gyro is not active all the time, you can still make vertical adjustments when you need to by engaging the flick stick.
WHICH PLATFORMS CAN I USE GYRO IN FORTNITE ON?
Gyro in Fortnite is available on gyro-supported platforms. These are platforms whose control methods allow for the gyro. Players can use the gyro in Fortnite on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4 and 5, PC, and Android. Please note that gyro is unavailable when playing Fortnite through GeForce NOW on PC or mobile.
