Fortnite Parkour Explained
Fortnite Parkour is essentially the term for all of the new movement mechanics introduced in Season 3 Chapter 2. These can be broken down into Tactical Sprinting, Mantling (or climbing) and the new Shoulder Bash ability to charge your way through doors. We’ve explained each of these in more detail below.
Tactical Sprint
The Tactical Sprint allows players to run quickly while they have stamina in the white bar shown in the bottom left-hand corner of the screen. This allows players to jump higher and further, and is how you’ll trigger the Shoulder Bash, explained in more detail below. We’ve a complete guide on using Tactical Sprint in Fortnite to help you get up to speed (sorry, not sorry about the pun).
Mantle/ Climbing
Arguably the main element of the Fortnite Parkour mechanics is the ability for players to now mantle and climb up to ledges just out of reach. Players can now jump up and grab onto ledges and pull themselves up to reach new vantage points, replacing building while it’s temporarily disabled. By running and jumping at a ledge, your character will automatically grab onto and climb up, making it really easy to traverse and jump from rooftop to rooftop.
Shoulder Bash
The Shoulder Bash is the final piece of the Fortnite Parkour puzzle, allowing players to charge through doors when they’re sprinting or sliding. All you need to do is tactical sprint into a door, and your character will automatically shoulder bash their way through it. It’s certainly a lot quicker than having to interact with the door with X/ Square/ E/ Y. For more on Fortnite, be sure to search for Twinfinite or see more of our coverage on the game below.
