How to “Bunnyhop” in ‘Fortnite’

Fortnite offers many ways to play but one of the most effective means for survival in the Battle Royale title is knowing how to build. It’s not good enough to be a decent shot, a solid structure could make or break a player’s chances at winning that coveted Victory Royale. Now a ‘new’ technique is starting to gain popularity called “Bunny Hopping” and it’s a fantastic way to keep one step ahead of enemies during a match of Battel Royale.

In the video above you can see YouTuber ‘Villex’ show off this technique in a match while explaining the basics on how it works. A recommended way to trigger this movement is by using something like a launch pad or a shockwave grenade.

Before players hit the floor after the initial jump, hit the jump key again to start off a three bunny-hop chain though another Redditor said that it is possible to elongate the chain by using a Glider instead of a launch pad, giving more hops and more momentum for a more successful utilization of this technique.
