Nitro Barrels in Fortnite can provide better maneuverability if you use this trick with these items in Season 3 and Season 5.
Season 5 and Season 3 of Fortnite are full of animations that will change the way you play. In addition to Mythic Cars and Nitro Fists, Nitro Barrels were also introduced this season, allowing players to increase their movement speed, reload speed, and more.
Nitro Barrels are scattered around the map and can be found in open areas. Similar boost effects apply to vehicles, but players can use a combination of other items to launch these barrels into the air, increasing their maneuverability on foot.
To do this, you’ll need to switch your weapon to a pickaxe and attack the nitro pipes, as shown in a clip on the Reddit thread.
The barrel should be covered as soon as the firing animation begins. This will give you a nitro effect and launch you into the air. For extra mobility, you can use Flowberry Fizz on yourself before hitting the barrel with the pickaxe.
Provided you can do this, your character can basically jump to the other side of the map. This trick is great if you’re looking for an easy way to get around without having to find a launch pad or distance yourself from nearby enemies.
It can be difficult to hide if you’re not fast enough. But overall it’s worth a try, especially for those who don’t like using the car this season.
The game’s meta is constantly changing, and Fortnite offers hotfixes, balance changes, and weapon caches from time to time. However, players have continued to show that there are tricks that can help them gain the upper hand, no matter what is thrown at them.
