How to Get & Use Wingsuits in Fortnite Chapter 7
Fortnite Pacific Break is here, and with it comes the first season of Chapter 7. With a whole new island to explore, the return to a massive map, and a bunch of unique skins to grind for in the Season 1 Battle Pass, there is a lot to uncover right out of the gate.
Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 1 not only brings a new map, but also an overhaul to the Battle Royale loot pool. While weapons like the Iron Pump Shotgun are undoubtedly a must for every loadout, items like the Wingsuit are quickly becoming the go-to for those looking to take to the skies. Here is how to get the Wingsuit in Fortnite Chapter 7.
Fortnite Chapter 7 Has Removed 4 Main Game Modes
Fortnite Chapter 7 introduces players to various new content, but it has also removed some well-loved game modes from the game.
How to Get a Wingsuit in Fortnite Chapter 7
The Wingsuit is a brand-new mobility item players can get in Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 1. It is an Epic rarity item that can most commonly be found in Chests, ground loot, and Rare Chests, with Rare Chests arguably offering the highest chance of finding one.
Though finding this item does rely on a bit of RNG, it is a fairly common drop, allowing players to track it down without much effort. The item itself can only be carried once, but it can be swapped out for another Wingsuit if you need more uses.
How to Use a Wingsuit in Fortnite Chapter 7
The Wingsuit is exclusively a mobility item used to get around the map. To use it, players simply need to press the shoot button while the item is equipped. Doing so will hold them stationary in the air for a short duration while they charge up the boost, before launching into the air and gliding in the direction they are looking.
From here, players can use their movement keys to maneuver themselves, along with traveling in the direction they are looking by moving their mouse or analog stick. Players will remain airborne with their Wingsuit until they touch the ground, after which one of their 10 total charges will be consumed, and the item will enter a 20-second cooldown. Once all their charges are used up, the Wingsuit will be unusable.
For those looking for some pointers, be cautious when using the Wingsuit out in the open. When charging it up before launching into the air, you are vulnerable to being shot at, which can result in a quick trip back to the lobby. To travel farther in the Wingsuit, be sure to use the item at a high altitude. Also, to travel a greater distance with the Wingsuit, build up momentum by gliding downward and then pulling up, and repeat this action.
