Ledge Jump

A unique animation that occurs when you sprint at a ledge and press your jump key or button just before the edge. This will send your character into a “Parkour” motion, allowing you to reach places you usually can’t otherwise.

Roll Landing

Your character enters a rolling animation when holding jump or tapping the jump key or button just before you touch the ground. This sends you into a “barrel roll” animation and will restore some stamina.

Wall Kick

Another of Fortnite Chapter 6’s movement mechanics allows you to kick off a wall and launch in any direction. you may perform a Wall Kick by jumping into a wall sideways. You can work these into your gameplay and even chain Wall Kicks to expand your movement capabilities.

Wall Scramble

The Wall Scramble allows you to scale vertical surfaces until you eventually reach the top. You can work a Wall Kick into a Wall Scramble.

These new movement options should allow for more creativity, as players can jump, roll, and traverse walls to achieve a Victory Royale.
