Launch Fortnite and navigate to the main menu. From there, select the "Game Mode" tab located at the top of the screen.
Within the Game Mode menu, choose the specific mode in which you wish to sit out. For example, if you want to sit out in Battle Royale, select that option.
After selecting the desired game mode, you will be directed to the lobby. This is where players gather before entering the actual game.
If you are playing with a squad or a team, ensure that all members are in the lobby together.
Look for an option or button in the lobby that allows you to express your desire to sit out. The location of this option may vary, depending on the Fortnite version, but it is usually found near your username or in the team management section.
Once you have located the "Sit Out" option, click on it to confirm that you want to sit out. You may be prompted to verify your decision, so ensure that you click "Confirm" or "OK" if prompted.
Once you have successfully sat out, you will be removed from the active game and placed in an observer mode. From here, you can watch the ongoing match, study player strategies, or simply take a break while others play.
There are various reasons why players may want to sit out. It could be due to fatigue, needing a break, wanting to spectate and learn from others, or simply not feeling up to playing actively at that moment. Sitting out allows players to take a step back while still being a part of the game environment.
While sitting out is generally available in most Fortnite game modes, some restricted competitive modes or special events may not offer this option. Make sure to verify if sitting out is possible in the specific mode you wish to play.
Yes, you can easily rejoin the game after sitting out in most cases. Simply select the appropriate menu option or button to join back in and proceed to play with your team again.
Although you are not actively playing, you can still communicate with your team members through voice chat or text chat, depending on the platform and settings. Make sure to use these communication features to stay connected and provide any helpful information to your team.
While sitting out, you do not actively participate in the match, which means you won't earn the same experience or rewards as players who are actively playing. However, sitting out allows you to observe and learn from others, which can be beneficial in improving your gameplay in the long run.
