Epic Games’ latest addition to Fortnite, the Fortnite Festival, is creating waves among its fanbase. This new mode is a rhythm game, inspired by classics like Guitar Hero. Developed by Harmonix, known for their expertise in music games, it brings a unique musical twist to the Fortnite world. Players are immersed in a rhythmic challenge, hitting musical notes with precision.
Fortnite Festival’s controls are tailored for both PC and console users. PC players use the D, F, J, K, and Space keys, while Xbox and PlayStation gamers rely on D-pad Left, Right, X, B, and Right Trigger. These controls are designed for accuracy, ensuring players can hit every note perfectly. However, many players are advocating for Guitar Hero controller compatibility to enhance their experience.
Responding to the community’s call, Epic Games has confirmed their intent to integrate instrument controller support in Fortnite Festival. Slated for more details in 2024, this update is highly anticipated. The challenge lies in adapting older, proprietary guitar controllers for modern use. Meanwhile, players are finding creative ways to connect these controllers to the game.
Amidst this, YouTube personalities like Acai are pioneering the use of custom guitar controllers in Fortnite. They’ve successfully demonstrated how these controllers can be integrated, even with existing limitations. This has sparked a surge of interest in the community, with players eagerly exploring similar setups.
How to change the controls in Fortnite Festival?
Fortnite Festival’s gameplay is nothing short of captivating, yet some gamers might feel the default controls are a bit offbeat. Thankfully, Epic Games has our backs, offering flexible options to tweak these controls. This gives the players a more easy time playing the game and makes it more enjoyable too.
- Getting to Control Settings: First off, dive into the social menu, which you’ll spot by clicking on your icon at the top right of the lobby. Or, if you’re mid-game, just hit pause and you can jump into the settings from there.
- Finding the Right Controls: Once you’re in the settings, keep scrolling through the options until you hit Keyboard Controls or Controller Mapping, based on what you’re using.
- Picking Your Mode: On the left of the menu, you’ll see different game mode options. Select ‘Main Stage’, where you can choose from Main Stage (Easy, Medium, Hard) or for the daredevils, Main Stage (Expert). Heads up, Expert mode throws in an extra button for an extra challenge.
- Tailoring Your Controls: For those on keyboards, I’d say go for WASD or 1,2,3,4 – it feels more natural. Console gamers, you might want to stick to the face buttons (like triangle, square, and so on) to mimic that nostalgic Guitar Hero vibe. Playing on Expert? Just pick a key close by on the keyboard or a trigger button (think R1) on your controller.
By tweaking your controls like this, you can make Fortnite Festival feel just right for you. It’s not just about playing the game; it’s about enjoying it your way. This level of customization shows how Epic Games is all in when it comes to catering to what players need and want, making sure everyone’s having a blast.
