Surfing on pumpkin rockets in Fortnite appears to be like superb

Fortnite Battle Royale gamers have give you what is likely to be my favorite mode of transport I’ve ever seen in a online game. Forget in regards to the wingsuit in Far Cry or the grappling hook in Just Cause, as a result of Fortnite allows you to surf on a rocket propelled pumpkin. The latest “Fortnitmare” Halloween update added the Jack-O-Launcher, a rocket launcher with a pumpkin hooked up that, it seems, can act as an ideal platform for a human passenger. See it for your self within the clips under.

As you may see, the trick is pulled off by getting a buddy to fireplace a rocket at simply the suitable spot beneath your toes. Here’s a video that (ultimately) exhibits you how one can do it in additional element, the place you may see the attitude of the firer at 5:40 and one other rider at 7:00. It doesn’t take them many tries earlier than they succeed, although if you wish to strive it out your self you’ll first should search out your individual Jack-O-Launcher.

Some individuals have gotten to the purpose the place they’ll use the trick reliably sufficient to truly get some kills with it, although I’m not satisfied they aren’t making issues tougher for themselves.

I didn’t notably get on with Fortnite Battle Royale when I tried it a couple of months ago, although embracing wacky stuff like this would possibly simply lure me again sooner or later.

“100 percent worth it” certainly.

Thanks to cheery RPS fanzine PC Gamer for pointing this out.
