This guide covers two distinct bugs involving Fortnite cars, each affecting different types of vehicles. In Fortnite Chapter 2 Remix, modern Fortnite cars from Chapter 5 and older pre-Chapter 5 vehicles can be found across the map. The Chapter 5 cars, which include low-riders, are equipped with hydraulics. Players can use an exploit in these vehicles, allowing them to “fly” around the map. Additionally, older cars in Fortnite, lacking hydraulic features, have a unique glitch that impacts gameplay.
How to Fly Chapter 5 Fortnite Cars
The Chapter 5 Fortnite cars, equipped with hydraulics, include both low-riders and whiplashes. Activating the “flying” glitch requires using a keyboard and mouse or a controller with a scroll wheel attachment. To set up the exploit:
- Open Fortnite settings.
- Go to the keybinds section and bind the vehicle brake to the scroll wheel.
Since the vehicle brake triggers the hydraulics, pressing the scroll wheel causes the car to lift off the ground and effectively “fly.” Players can enhance the lift by boosting before activating the hydraulics or by launching from a high elevation, like a mountain. The setup is simple, involving only a keybind change.
Avoiding Keybind Conflicts
Binding the scroll wheel to vehicle brake does not interfere with other keybinds. For instance, if the scroll wheel is set for item slots or quick pickups, it will only affect the vehicle’s performance when inside the car. Thus, this setup is user-friendly and doesn’t disrupt other gameplay functions.
Controller Setup for Flying Exploit
For controller players, a scroll wheel attachment, such as the Pro Scroller V3, is necessary to perform this exploit. While this attachment offers an advantage, it is not essential to purchase it solely for this glitch, especially since the season is short and Epic Games will likely patch the exploit soon.
Many players find the glitch fun, enabling quick traversal across the map. Some may view the glitch as cheating, though it doesn’t involve hacking. Epic Games might patch this soon, as it is a popular exploit. Given the simplicity, a large portion of the community is likely to use it, making widespread bans unlikely.
Older Fortnite Car Glitch
The second glitch involves older Fortnite cars, specifically the white or silver versions, which do not have hydraulics. When driving these cars into other players, the collision causes them to fly across the map. This action results in fall damage for enemies, making it a unique way to secure eliminations. No special setup is required; this bug naturally occurs when ramming into other players.
Patch Updates
Fortnite recently released a hotfix, patching the bug that allowed players to be launched across the map by older vehicles. However, the “flying” glitch with Chapter 5 Fortnite cars remains active for now.
In Fortnite Chapter 2 Remix, players can use a simple keybind exploit to make Fortnite cars fly. By binding the vehicle brake to the scroll wheel, players can activate the hydraulic lift, allowing cars to soar across the map. This flying car glitch works with low-riders and whiplashes, making map traversal quick and entertaining.
