Epic Games is keeping up with rival shooters by adding some advanced movements to Fortnite in Chapter 6. Here’s how new Fortnite movement tactics work.
Fortnite is a survival game with shooting and building at heart. Now, these two elements should be enough on their own, but new additions to rival games make Fortnite feel somewhat outdated.
New Fortnite movement guide
For example, Apex Legends is known for wild movement stunts that players can pull off to bag trick shots. In response, Epic Games introduced features like sliding, tactical sprinting, and wall climbing, but these additions don’t seem to have fully addressed the gap.
In Fortnite Chapter 6, Season 1, players will be able to move around freely. The update adds four new movement tactics that may help nimble players get closer to their targets.
How does the new Fortnite movement work?
With four new movement tricks, players will be able to get to scramble up high points, roll around the map, and make difficult jumps.
Here are the four new Fortnite movements:
- Ledge jump
- Roll landing
- Wall kick
- Wall scramble
While the names are quite self-explanatory, some fans may be confused about how wall scramble is different from wall climbing and what the point of rolling around the map is.
Roll landing is a tactic that lets you become a tricky target in the enemy’s faces, all the while restoring some stamina if you’ve been running for too long. Scramble works more like vertical walking than climbing a wall, helping you reach higher points on the map.
Ledge jump will come in handy when trying to get to a destination quicker. To use it, press the jump key right before jumping off a ledge and enter parkour mode. This way, you can jump off smaller ledges and get to an endpoint quicker. Wall kick can be used to take enemies by surprise while trying to shoot at them. This works similarly to Apex Legends’ wall jump, except it’s easier to execute.
All of these movements combined may give players coming in from other movement-heavy traditional shooters an edge. While these tactics look easy, it can be quite tricky to control movement in a fast-paced game. So, Fortnite players may need some practice to truly realize the impact of these new additions.
