You can even go more granular than that, and use it only with only one of the above.<\/p>\n<p>In this guide, we&#8217;re going to walk you through how the new motion controls work in Fortnite on Nintendo Switch, so you can get those Splatoon 2 feels while blasting apart your enemies.<\/p>\n<h2>Fortnite &#8211; How To Use Motion Controls On Nintendo Switch<\/h2>\n<p>In the Fortnite lobby, press &#8216;+&#8217; then go right and up on your d-pad or left analogue and press &#8216;A&#8217; while highlighting the cog icon.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"picture strip\">\n<div class=\"img\"><a href=\"http:\/\/images.nintendolife.com\/news\/2018\/07\/guide_fortnite_-_how_to_use_gyro_motion_controls_on_nintendo_switch\/attachment\/1\/original.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/images.nintendolife.com\/news\/2018\/07\/guide_fortnite_-_how_to_use_gyro_motion_controls_on_nintendo_switch\/attachment\/1\/900x.jpg\" alt=\"2.jpg\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<\/aside>\n<p>Scroll down a bit and in the &#8216;Input&#8217; section, you should see three new options:<\/p>\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>Option<\/th>\n<th>What It Controls<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Motion Sensitivity<\/td>\n<td>Sensitivity of Motion Controls<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Motion Targeting Sensitivity<\/td>\n<td>Sensitivity of Motion Controls When in ADS<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Motion Scoped Sensitivity<\/td>\n<td>Sensitivity of Motion Controls When Using Scoped Weapons<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>As you can tell, that&#8217;s three different settings for three different instances in which you can now use motion controls. Motion sensitivity allows you to use motion literally all the time, while targeting and scoped allow motion controls while looking down your iron sights or a scope respectively.<\/p>\n<p>Now, there&#8217;s no simple &#8216;On&#8217; button to turn on motion controls. Instead, they turn on as soon as you&#8217;ve set a sensitivity option.<\/p>\n<h2>Fortnite &#8211; What Motion Controls Sensitivity Should I Use On Nintendo Switch?<\/h2>\n<p>That&#8217;s largely entirely up to you. You can tweak the settings while playing if you can find a safe spot to practice in, and we&#8217;d recommend doing that so you can fine-tune the settings for your own personal taste.<\/p>\n<p>Our preference was to only use motion controls while aiming down the iron sights. Due to the lack of a reset button, we didn&#8217;t really get on with using them all of the time, like in Splatoon. We also found that they lack the precision required when using a scoped weapon, so avoided using it for them also.<\/p>\n<p>But ultimately, it&#8217;s entirely up to you. We&#8217;d recommend setting a low sensitivity when using a scoped option if you really want to go with motion, and generally to not neglect the right stick. It still comes in very handy in most situations.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"related\">\n<h2 class=\"heading\">Are you finding this guide useful?
