Sliding mechanics in Fortnite are broken

The famous streamer Nickeh30 recently utilized broken sliding mechanics in the game. He recently took to Twitter to post a video that depicts him smoothly sliding into a barn and eliminating an opponent with a single shot to the head. The video has more than 13.5 thousand likes.

In the impressive video, Nick jumps off a slurp mushroom and performs a summersault midair with the help of a grappler glove, before landing down into a barn and traversing the entire length of the structure while sliding. He also managed to emininate an opponent while still in a sliding stance.

According to Nick, the sliding mechanics in Fortnite are broken. Players can slide faster than usual and can cover longer distances quickly. Although the trick seems somewhat complicated, players can get the same results by following these easy steps:

  • Players first need to attain height in the game. They can either scale a mountain or build a ramp.
  • After attain height, players need to gain a boost by running. They can use the tactical sprint feature here.
  • While running, players need to jump and press the slide button befoe landing.
  • Slide button can differ depending upon the platforms. Check key-mapping.
  • Once landed, players will start to slide till they either run out of room, or get slowed down by the mechanics.
  • To achieve the best possible slide, players shold select a location that has acute slopes and rolling fields.

Players should bear in mind that Fortnite developers are very proactive in fixing up glitches. They might not get the desired results if the sliding mechanics are fixed. However, players should be able to perform tactical sprints and sliding tricks without any impediment.

Ever since the sliding mechanics were launched, players have been performing some neat tricks and landing eliminations in ways that were impossible earlier. To promote sliding in the game, developers from time to time push quests based on sliding and sprinting.

From traversing the map quickly to evading an enemy, the sliding mechanism is a very useful addition to the game. Combined with other other mobility mechanics like swinging and jumping, players can pull some amazing tricks while eliminating an opponent.
