How to enable Double movement in Fortnite with reWASD?
In November 2020, there were reports of changes towards Double movement for PC users: seems like the ability to map 2 keys to one action within in-game settings was removed. Times change though, as for one of the last posts on April 2021 from Fortnite team:
The spirit of our rules allow for players to reconfigure keybinds in a way that wouldn’t be possible inside the game, including double-movement on keyboards.

This is the reason we decided to make this post: if you want to try Double movement in Fortnite, do it right, and let our team give you some suggestions! Here’s a brief table of contents:
Since we are configuring a Double movement config in reWASD, you will definitely need reWASD installed on your PC:
What is double movement in Fortnite?
Essentially, double movement is a mix of two inputs: keyboard (A and D) and controller (Left stick Left and Right). This helps players change the angle their character uses to run: if you use W+A or W+D, you run with a 45° angle. When using W+A+Left Stick left and W+D+Left Stick right, the angle changes to 30° towards the horizontal axis. One of the main benefits is a slightly better view on your surroundings, and a possibility to build items alongside your moving trajectory. That could save you from a bullet or two 🙂
Regardless of the benefits, it’s up to you to decide whether you need double movement binds in Fortnite or not, or what configuration you would like to use. We will help you with some troubleshooting information, and you can try this in game, just to see if this playstyle fits you.
What config should I download?
Our community has plenty of Double movement Fortnite configs to choose from, make sure to visit the Fortnite community page. However, it appears that most of the configs that you will find there have a slightly different setup. If we jump into details, our users seem to remap the whole WASD to the Left stick (W and S unmapped, so you get only controller input from them; A and D not unmapped, so it comes out as A+Left Stick left and D+Left Stick right).
We ran some tests, and it seems like the Double movement config we created permits your character to turn side to side a bit snappier. I think the explanation for that is that you don’t have that unnecessary amount of acceleration: since W and S are acting just like the controller stick, your character may take longer to turn from side to side. In the solution we offer, you have WASD acting normally, plus A and D having controller movement, which wins you that beneficial angle.
I want to make a Fortnite Double Movement config on my own, any advice?
That’s quite an easy thing to do as well. Basically, what you need is to add Left stick left mapping to A and Left stick right mapping to D, without unmaps. Here are the detailed steps on creating your Fortnite double movement config:
Done! Now, you can press Apply, and launch the game.
This setup I described above required reWASD Basic license only.
What if I want to use a regular layout mid-game?
Okay, bet, you’ll need a Shift modifier for that, preferably Toggle Shift even:
All done! Apply and test in game 🙂 I’ve also made a Fortnite Double movement config, and Left Windows key is a Shift modifier in it. Make sure to download it and test in game!
Toggle Shift functionality requires a purchased Rapid Fire feature along with the Basic license.
My W and S keys are not working after I Apply the config, what do I do?
If you have imported the config from the community, make sure to check that the config has a Shift modifier (check the paragraph above to learn how to add one). Or, you can use Ctrl+Alt+Del shortcut to turn remap off, but you’ll need to reopen reWASD and reapply the config for it to work again. With Shift mode, the config is applied all along, which is comfy.
Try to use Slots too, when you swap to another Slot where nothing is applied, you use the native layout. Autodetect is a great feature to solve this too, enable remap when Fortnite is in focus only.
I don’t want the input to switch while I’m in game
Get into Fortnite settings — Mouse and Keyboard tab. Make sure Lock input method as mouse setting is enabled:

Instantly get double movement in Fortnite.
Why we made it
Epic (Fortnite) “unofficially” officially allows the use of 3rd party remapping software in competitive play. This means that double movement/controller movement in competitive play is not exclusively limited to Wooting keyboards anymore.
That said, we felt that all the available remapping tools are either a real hassle В to set up (Key2Xinput) or add significant input delay (reWASD).
To show our support and further our irrelevancy, we decided to make our own lightweight remapping tool for the Fortnite community that is easy to install, instantly gives double movement, and is safe to use (no ripshit).
Frequently asked questions
Q. What is this tool?
Wooting Double Movement lets you instantly get double/controller movement in Fortnite without needing to tweak any settings, install drivers, or follow youtube instructions.
The default is set to the optimal angle that removes animation delay, retains maximum motion speed, and allows diagonal movement building. You don’t need to tweak or sweat over detailed and complicated settings.
Q. How does it work?
The tool transforms your WASD keyboard input into Xinput left joystick by emulating a Xbox controller using the open source device emulator ViGem.
Q. Is it better than a Wooting keyboard?
The Wooting keyboards provide the fastest input, enables gradual movement by press depth, and can be plugged into any PC without additional software to get controller movement.The main advantage of the application is that you won’t need a Wooting keyboard and it’s less likely to cause Xinput issues by circumventing the USB rabbit hole.
The disadvantage of any remapping tool is that it introduces input delay, it’s often bannable in competitive play, and it’s PC-dependent.
How to get ‘double-movement’ in Fortnite after v14.50 keybind removal
You can now combine a controller and mouse to replicate the lost double-movement keybinds.
The competitive and professional Fortnite community was up in arms following the release of the v14.50 patch when they realized that the beloved double-movement keybind option had been disabled. This option allowed keyboard and mouse (KBM) players to run diagonally and place structures without losing momentum.
Such movement is already possible on controller since this input allows for a 360-degree turn. The result on both platforms was an angle that you can see in the image, below. If you want to see more about how the pro Fortnite community reacted to the change, you can take a look at our article here.
There is one way that you can replicate the movement of double-movement keybinds following the v14.50 update. It involves plugging in a controller and manipulating the Dead Zone so that your character is always moving, slightly.
This is the same tactic used back in the day that allowed KBM players to obtain aim assist while using a mouse. You use a controller with a low Dead Zone – this time, on the left stick instead of the right. After that, all you need to do is make sure that your character is slightly moving from the controller stick drift and use your keyboard for the rest.
YouTuber, Reisshub, posted a video to Reddit showcasing the strategy. There’s no telling how long this will work, but it will be worth it for some players.
Of course, using a controller for this purpose means that your character will always be moving. You won’t get first-shot accuracy unless you fiddle with the left joystick, which could take anywhere from one to fifteen seconds – not ideal if you’re in the middle of a fight.
Whether or not using this strategy will be worth it is up to you. For now, it seems like the only way to replicate double-movement keybinds – short of fully switching to controller.
Double Movement Binds: Should you be using them?
Fortnite pros are switching over to these new settings that allow keyboard and mouse players to benefit from controller style movement.
The controller versus keyboard and mouse debate has been one of the hottest topics in Fortnite for quite some time. Aim assist is always at the centre of the discussion, but aside from that, most people can agree on the general pros and cons of each input. One thing that has always been a huge bonus for controller players is the potential for 360-degree movement.
Keyboard and Mouse players on the other hand are limited to a total of 8 directions and therefore cannot sprint forward whilst also looking fully to the left or right. This can be an issue for late game tunnelling as well as simply checking to your sides whilst rotating.
Luckily there is a way around this problem! Recently a number of top pros including Kyle “Bugha” Giersdorf and Turner “Tfue” Tenney have been trying out double movement keybinds. They are pretty simple to set up and will have you feeling just like you’re on the sticks.
Firstly, head into the “Keyboard Controls” section in your settings – the place where you would normally change your binds. Then you want to add another bind to “move left”. This should be a key that you don’t already use and that you can comfortably hit without using your ring finger (you need to be able to hit your forward key and both left keys at the same time). Next do the same for “move left”, again choosing a key that you don’t use and this time one that you wouldn’t hit with your index finger.
When you have this set up correctly, you will be able sprint forward and look to the left or right by holding down all 3 buttons together. It will take some getting used to, so be sure to spend some time in Creative before loading into any real matches. However, once you have mastered double movement binds you will be at an insane advantage. They will allow you to pull off new builds that were previously impossible and experience the full movement range that was originally exclusive to controller players.
If you are still struggling with the new settings, there are plenty of tutorials for double movement binds emerging. One of the best I have seen is from Fortnite tips and tricks genius “itsJerian”, check it out below for a video example.
How to get Fortnite’s new double-movement
You can try out double-movement in Fortnite with a mouse and keyboard, thanks to some third-party software that hasn’t been banned.
Epic Games have gotten rid of the double-movement keybinds for Fortnite, but you can still make use of a third-party software to achieve the same function in the game.
One major advantage to playing Fortnite with a controller is that the joystick makes it much easier for you to strafe in one direction while looking elsewhere. Playing with a keyboard and mouse restricts your movement to four directions; front, back, left, or right.
This limitation can be frustrating, as it keeps you from being able to full-sprint while minding your surroundings. A few players used “double movement” keybinds to get around this until Epic Games removed them.
As the name implies, these would allow you to bind one of your movement inputs to two keys, so that you could achieve “controller movement.” Epic Games then banned this practice in-game by limiting movement input mapping to a single key.
However, Fortnite streamer BenjyFishy revealed to his followers that he used ReWASD and Keys2xInput to get around this issue, as Epic can’t ban them. He made sure to check with devs before adding it to his gameplay.
This implies that he got permission to use it, and you can also take advantage of it to get double movement when playing with a mouse and keyboard.
You can get a free trial of ReWASD, but will then have to pay for it each month after the trial ends. However, Keys2xInput is completely free, and will likely be the first choice for anyone who wants to try double-movement for the first time.
YouTuber itsJerian made an insightful video tutorial on how to set up these two programs, so you can check that one out for details about getting them to work.
While using third-party software for double-movement can seem tricky, it’s not as messy as it sounds. These programs simply emulate an ability that controller players already have, so that you can use it on your mouse and keyboard.
So far, Epic Games haven’t chimed in on this matter, and we don’t know for sure whether or not they plan to take action against this, but things look fine at the moment.
Players like BenjyFishy have contacts at Epic, so it’s likely that they were given the green light to use these programs, and you can try them out too.
