Fortnite is now edging closer and closer to the release of a brand new Chapter, and it feels surreal to say Chapter 6 Season 1 is nearly here.
With this brand new Chapter comes also new movement for players to try out, and we're going to run over all of these new mechanics below.
Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 1: All New Movement Mechanics Explained
Waiting for the next Fortnite season is something no one truly enjoys but this time round it'll be well worth the wait.
Chapter 6 Season 1 has some new movement mechanics for players to test out, and Epic has noted the following on it.
Ledge Jump
-
Parkour! Jump while sprinting very close to a ledge, be it a cliff or a rooftop, and you’ll perform a Ledge Jump! Ledge Jumps will send you farther, allowing you to reach places you normally wouldn’t be able to. Hit a Ledge Jump with some speed for some serious hang time.
Roll Landing
-
Keep it moving. Chapter 6 introduces Roll Landing, where holding Jump or tapping it just before hitting the ground while falling will cause you to do a barrel roll, restoring some stamina in the process.
Wall Kick
-
Jumping against a vertical surface to your side while in the air will allow you to perform a Wall Kick! Wall Kicks will launch you off of walls in the direction of your choosing. Weave Wall Kicks into your traversal and combat maneuvers to keep your foes on their toes. You can mantle, hit a Roll Landing, or even perform another Wall Kick off of a Wall Kick!
Wall Scramble
- Jumping against a vertical surface in front of you will allow for a Wall Scramble! Reach that high ledge by taking a few big strides up a wall. If it’s mantle-able, you’ll mantle up automatically. Press Jump at any point while doing a Wall Scramble to perform a Wall Kick.
