Every Fortnite game starts out the same. You fly over the island on the battle bus before jumping and engaging other players in deadly combat. There is an unsung hero in all of this, in the form of the bus driver. If you want to be polite and thank the bus driver, this guide will show you how.
Thank the bus driver
It has become a bit of a habit for players to be polite and thank the bus driver before getting on, as one would when getting off a real bus. Of course, in real life you aren't likely to slip across a map and start building and shooting yourself, but that's a minor detail.
Players can thank the bus driver at the push of a button.
With mouse and keyboard:
- Just press B key before jumping to thank the bus driver
With a controller:
- press the Down button on the D-pad before jumping to thank the bus driver
On mobile
- press the emote button in the upper right corner of the screen before jumping to thank the bus driver
No doubt you will see everyone doing it now and I am sure the virtual bus drivers will be very grateful for the kind treatment. Maybe this means that your landing spot will be more secure than usual, or that the loot around you will be more plentiful? Not likely, but it's never a bad idea to be polite, so the next time you jump off the Fortnite bus, don't forget to thank the bus driver.
There is also an added benefit of thanking the bus driver during Chapter 2 of Season 3 as there is a punch card to do so. The Good Punch card has three different ranks. You will have to thank the bus driver 3 times, then 5 times, then 50 times and finally 100 times to complete the punch card.
