How to slide kick in Fortnite
You may know how to slide in Fortnite, but what about slide kicking? Well, turns out it's basically the same thing, but to slide kick in Fortnite, you have to hit something with your body while sliding.
So, you're first going to have to have a full sprint metre - or enough to take you the distance you need - then you should sprint, press the crouch button to slide, then hit something while you're sliding to slide kick it.
The only issue with slide kicking is that it doesn't do a lot of damage, which can make certain challenges tricky to complete.
How to dislodge a runaway boulder with a slide kick in Fortnite
Seeing as slide kicking doesn't cause a lot of damage, what you need to do to dislodge a runaway boulder with a slide kick in Fortnite is to damage the boulder first.
However, just be wary that the boulder doesn't have a lot of health, so only hit it with your Pickaxe twice. If you hit it any more, you risk dislodging it without slide kicking it first.
Once you've lowered the boulders health with two Pickaxe hits, backup until you've put a little distance between you and the boulder. All you have to do now to dislodge the runaway bolder is sprint, slide, then hit the boulder to slide kick it.
As slide kicking doesn't cause a lot of damage, you'll probably have to slide kick the boulder a few times before it dislodges.
