'Fortnite' Players Are Making Big Plays by Double-Hijacking Planes

Fortnite's new planes were bound to give players ways to pull off some impressive stunts, but one of the biggest plays people are attempting is the double-plane hijack.

The new X-4 Stormwing Plane was added at the start of Season 7 and gave Fortnite players their first aerial vehicle, unless you're counting the limited mobility that Balloons offered prior to the update. These planes have a mounted machine gun and four extra spots to players to position themselves on outside of the cockpit, and it's on those passenger slots that players are able to pull off these impressive double-hijack plays.

By flying through the air and landing on a plane's wing, players can use their weapons to get a clear shot at the pilot and knock them out of the vehicle. From there, they're free to commandeer the plane, but some have found it more fun to instead jump right off and move onto the next target.

Some of those plays have already been recorded and circulated online with a few of the impressive double-plane hijackings seen below.
