Fortnite Hunters introduces an entirely new chapter, unveiling the next Battle Royale map for players to explore. This Japanese Mythology-themed season offers exciting items like the Typhoon Blade, along with a roster of unique guns and other weapons. However, one of the most significant changes this season is the introduction of unique movement mechanics.
Among these mechanics are the abilities to Ledge Jump and Roll Land, two moves that players may have already encountered without giving them much thought. However, these aren’t the only new techniques available — players can also master Wall Kick and Wall Scramble, each capable of transforming gameplay with just a bit of practice.

Boons offer useful passive benefits for those who manage to acquire them. Here is a guide on every Boon in Fortnite, along with how to get them.
How To Wall Kick in Fortnite
Wall Kicking is an extremely useful mechanic in Fortnite that many players may overlook. Wall Kicks can be used to change direction in the air quickly, gain height when two walls are relatively close together, or cross high areas without dropping to the ground. To perform a Wall Kick, players can follow these steps:
- With the wall to the left or right of the player, jump toward the wall.
- Press the jump button again upon hitting the wall. Doing so will allow players to jump off the wall and into another direction.
Wall Kicks can also be chained together if walls are close enough, enabling players to execute impressive combos to maintain momentum. Players can also change the direction of their Wall Kick by simply moving forward, or backward while pressing the Jump Button when performing the action — offering excellent movement strategies to outplay opponents.

How To Wall Scramble in Fortnite
The Wall Scramble is primarily used to scale walls and reach ledges that would otherwise be out of reach, enabling players to mantle onto much higher ledges than in previous seasons. To perform a Wall Scramble, follow these steps:
- Approach a wall while sprinting and jump toward it.
- Upon hitting the wall, hold the Jump Button to initiate the Wall Scramble.
Adding a mantle at the end of this move allows players to scale walls or builds that are two tiles high, making it an excellent technique for reaching loot or surprising enemies. The Wall Scramble can also be chained together with a Wall Kick and other movement methods.
Performing both Wall Kicks and Wall Scrambles are each actions that players can do to complete the Kickstart Quests for Chapter 6 Season 1, with each quest rewarding 15,000 XP upon completion — making them an excellent way to level up fast.
