Fortnite – How To Drop Items in on PC

First, you need to ask yourself a simple question: are you using a keyboard and mouse or controller in Fornite? If the latter, what kind of controller—Xbox or PlayStation? We’ve created steps for both, so follow along with the steps that apply to you.

Dropping Items Using a Keyboard and Mouse

There are two unique methods for dropping items in Fortnite for PC. You can either rely on default hotkeys or use the mouse. In the most dire of situations, which is all the time in Fortnite, this is by far the most efficient and quickest way of dropping items. This is especially true considering the guns you pick up at the start will likely be replaced at some point, so there’s no reason to hold onto them. It will also make more room for ammo and building materials or just ammo if you’re participating in a Zero Build match. Alternatively, you can drop items from your inventory by pressing and holding the X key. If you select an item such as building materials, tapping the X key will drop 30 of that item instead of the entire stack. This is only really helpful for sharing your loot with allies.

Dropping Items Using a Controller

If you’re using a controller—Xbox or PS4/PS5—dropping items in Fortnite on PC changes. The button prompt is the same as it is on their respective consoles. With that, we’ve covered every method on how to drop items in Fortnite for PC. If you’re knocking out challenges in Fortnite, then take a look at how Reality Saplings work in-game or see what other quests are available in Season 3.
