If you thought Fortnite battle royale was dangerous enough, hold onto your chug jug. A new skill trick has unlocked a new way of travel in the free-to-play game that makes Fortnite cars fly across the map like a giant eagle capable of vehicular manslaughter.
With years of collaborations like the game’s TMNT crossover or the brilliant Fortnite Spider-Man event, Fortnite has introduced many ways to travel. We’ve had the amazing Grapple Gloves, the Spider-Verse web shooters and even the best vehicles to soar across the game’s maps.
In the current Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 1 update, player HoarthYT found an ingenious way to propel vehicles across the island. Using Slurp Barrels, cars and players on top of cars can be propelled high into the sky and even outside of the map. The best part: vehicles can survive the shocking ordeal, taking you to the opposite end of the island.
To perform the glitch for yourself, all you need to do is damage a Slurp Barrel to 40HP and put a gas can on the hood of the car when you’re near the barrel. Next, you reverse until the gas can disappears and boost into the barrel. Hold onto your seats, because this is when the real serious stuff kicks in!
“The best part about this glitch is that you can do it within just a few minutes of landing. Solo or in a team,” said HoarthYT.
Over the years, Fortnite has been filled with countless bugs, best XP map glitches and exploits, but Epic Games has been quick to fix huge issues with the games. However, fans are hoping that Epic keeps the glitch around for a little while longer so they can have fun.
Fortnite is currently available to play for free on Xbox, PlayStation, PC, Nintendo Switch and mobile. The game’s iOS port is gunning for a return, but there’s currently no release date.
