How to play

Once you have launched the Icarus Race Creative Map, you will be taken to the starting point of the race course and prompted to fly in a predetermined path while collecting Fortnite coins. When you collect a coin, the mode spawns you in the area with the next coin you need to collect. Players get taken across a vast valley of mountains and hills, all while using the swift movement mechanics of the Wings of Icarus.

Since this is a Creative Map, Wings of Icarus has unlimited ammo and lets players fully explore the speed and movement capabilities of the Wings, especially the powerful boosts.

It is important to note that with each coin you collect, you get granted in-game XP to progress through the Chapter 5 Season 2 Battle Pass, allowing you to enjoy the vast landscapes while progressing through the tiers.

With the launch of the Icarus Race Map, the Fortnite community appears to be going all out for using Greek Mythology-themed items to create new and fun experiences in the Creative mode.
