South Park Comes to Fortnite: Improve Your Aim with the South Park™ Kenny Edition Thumbsticks
Chaos has officially come to Fortnite with their newest collaboration with the famed South Park TV show. You can now enjoy the incredible skins of Kenn, Cartman, Stan, Kyle, and Butters, along with a fun new battle pass to unlock more rewards. On top of cosmetics, fans of the show can visit Cartmanland and see what cool loot can be found, or just battle it out in a new, amusement park-themed location. Speaking of loot, this exciting collaboration comes with a few new items to test out on enemies in-game, or if you are lucky enough to find a Kenny Token, this will automatically reboot you if you die while carrying one. The Stick of Truth is another unique item where only 1 will spawn per round, and the reason for that is because once you have it in your inventory, you will become the focal point of the storm as well as the final boss for everyone to take out. Lastly, there is Cheesy Poofs, similar to other healing items that you can consume. Eating this will grant you health, but this item also doubles as a weapon since a player will take damage when hit with this thrown item.
When a collaboration of this level arrives at Fortnite, it always sparks a rush of players who are excited to dive in and check out all the new items, skins, and, of course, the physical location to welcome other eager players. This rush will have you also fighting for your life in certain rounds, so it is important to always come prepared because you can never trust players to be docile, especially with a collaboration as chaotic as South Park. Plus, you will need to max out that mini battle pass in order to enjoy all the rewards, so taking out a few enemies yourself should be part of the plan regardless.
Meet the Kenny Performance Thumbstick: Built for Clutch Moments
KontrolFreek is always ahead of the game and, with innovation and creativity, has already created the perfect performance thumbsticks for Epic’s new South Park x Fortnite collaboration. KontrolFreek’s South Park™ Kenny Edition Performance Thumbstick is just what you need to land in Cartmanland with utmost confidence as you match your thumbsticks to your newly equipped Kenny skin. Find yourself a Kenny Token, and you may as well be invincible in-game with the performance boost gained by simply equipping the South Park™ Kenny Edition thumbsticks.
Capturing Kenny’s signature hoodie look, these performance thumbsticks not only look awesome but also completely elevate your comfort, accuracy, and aiming precision. The pair of thumbsticks has a mid-rise height to emphasize adaptability on top of comfort, which is a key skill set needed to survive a round in Fortnite. The concave design allows your thumbs to snuggly sit on top of Kenny’s face, with the added texture further providing traction to counter any slippage that could come in a heated battle. Your thumbs will be thanking you as well, with the extra comfort provided by KontrolFreek’s proprietary rubber material, which gives extra cushion to deter any fatigue that can come from endless hours of gaming. The Mid-rise height limits a player's time to acclimate to the change in height, so you will feel the confidence and benefits only after a few rounds, and then you will not want to play without them.
Best Controller Settings to Pair with the South Park™ Kenny Edition Performance Thumbsticks
If you are like me and have not jumped into a Fortnite match in some time, you may need to re-optimize your controller settings. Default settings will not be optimized for added stick height, so the biggest impact will be raising your sensitivity settings. Start with a few ticks above your typical settings and get to a point where you feel slightly comfortable, and after a game or two, it will feel more natural. For those who prefer a long-range or mid-range engagement, you will also want to boost your ADS look speed as well to match the increase in sensitivity to prevent a jarring difference, which could negatively impact your accuracy. For those who are looking for a more competitive play style or just want to win, the Advanced Look Controls is another category of settings that can make a major impact on your accuracy and precision in-game. When introducing changes to your settings, it will be important to test them out before entering into a game, so jump into Creative mode for a good test environment.
Aside from accuracy and precision, Fortnite requires a high level of movement as well, especially if you are playing traditionally with building included. Going from a firefight to building mid-battle can disrupt players' ability to move smoothly, but if you turn on Build Immediately, this will reduce your time to build in matches. Changing Edit Hold time to Minimum or Near-Minimum can be extremely beneficial when fighting at close range on top of a building to be able to make adjustments and create an opening mid-battle. Two other settings I recommend would be to ensure auto sprint is turned on and Sprint Cancel Reload. This will prevent you from getting stuck in a reload animation, which can make you vulnerable when trying to find cover or run away. These setting changes are just the tip of the iceberg in terms of optimizing, but these will allow you to adapt quickly to the South Park™ Kenny Edition Performance Thumbsticks. Whether you are looking to unlock all the collaboration items and cosmetics or just reign chaos down on Cartmanland, these performance thumbsticks are the perfect accomplice.
