Bizarre Fortnite Chapter 2 mechanic gives players new way to use rockets Epic GamesFortnite Chapter 2 players are thinking outside of the box with a newly discovered mechanic by YouTuber \u2018SypherPK\u2019 that bounces rockets for potentially game-changing effects. By using a Remote Explosive for the base of the trick, a player is able to bounce or change the trajectory for the Rocket Launcher\u2019s missile to make it climb skyward, for example, after shooting it toward the ground. The Rocket Launcher has always been a popular weapon to take in Fortnite to quickly clear builds or 1x1s and takes opponents by surprise. But the new trick gives it the potential for so much more. After a strange interaction during Sypher\u2019s games with Twitch star NICKMERCS, they noticed a missile had reflected off of a C4. \u201cFor some reason Rocket Launchers bounce off of C4,\u201d SypherPK said. \u201cPosition yourself really well in the center, line up the C4 accordingly, [and] you can achieve an infinite loop.\u201d Testing out the interaction, the YouTuber saw that the Remote Explosives have a near-consistent effect on rockets that players are quickly adopting. Showing off the trick on Reddit, user \u2018Slushyguy\u2019 showed how a strategically placed Remote Explosive brick could be the foundation for a sly rocket depending on how it\u2019s used. By angling the shot, the trajectory can be manipulated to veer up, which opens up the maneuver\u2019s application \u2013 especially if you\u2019re trying to get out of a tricky situation. Since rockets can make quick work out of basic builds, a team pinned in lower stories of a build fight could take a big gamble by using the missle bounce. If there\u2019s a situation where an opponent is pinning down your team from above and you can\u2019t get a safe shot, throwing down a C4 and spamming some missiles skyward could give you the perfect distraction to set up a counterattack or escape. The mechanic could get a little tricky, though, and potentially be deadly if you make the mistake of aiming it too close to yourself in a high-pressure situation. It\u2019ll be interesting to see how creative Fortnite players utilize the rocket bounce in-game since it could be a useful trick to surprise unsuspecting foes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
