Chapter 6 adds Ledge Jump, Roll Landing, Wall Kick, and Wall Scramble to the core movement of Fortnite. These new movement features will be universally applied across Battle Royale, Reload, and Creator-made islands.

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.

New Editing in Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 1 (v33.00 update) patch notes

Simple Edit is a brand new build setting you can toggle on in the Settings menu, which allows for editing builds with a single button press. The resulting edit is based on the part of the building you’re focusing on rather than being painted manually. Thus, it automatically executes building edits immediately, removing the step of selecting tiles altogether.

Simple Edit makes editing a breeze, and it should also prove helpful for players who are new to building in Fortnite or interested in learning. It allows for a smaller subset of edits to choose from, and masters of the current edit system will have more edit options available. We’ll be gathering data and feedback on Simple Edit and may make adjustments to the system in the future.
