Fortnite players urged to avoid Wings of Icarus after key weakness exposed Epic GamesFortnite players are urging others to not use the new Wings of Icarus after a huge weakness in its hitbox was highlighted. Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 2 is now live, and with it comes a plethora of new content. From new weapons and skins, a new battle pass, and of course a long-awaited collaboration with Avatar: The Last Airbender. And with all the new content, the new Mythic weapons have been put under particular focus for players, especially the new Wings of Icarus with it already getting a nerf days after its addition. Now players are urging others to avoid it entirely as a major weakness in its hitbox was highlighted, making it easy to die while mid-flight. Posted by a player on the Fortnite subreddit, they showcased a clip of them taking down an opponent using the Wings of Icarus by just shooting around them. \u201cGuys, don\u2019t use the Wings. This is what aim assist does to them, and I\u2019m just hip firing,\u201d the player warned in their caption. However, several players were confused by the clip, with one replying, \u201cI don\u2019t understand how this is just aim assist, I\u2019m a controller player and I have never had aim assist like that.\u201d Yet others were quick to realize it wasn\u2019t just the aim assist, it was the fact the Wings of Icarus gives players a much bigger hitbox, making it easier to shoot flying players out of the sky. Pair that up with an opponent with good mechanical aim and it\u2019s basically a near-guaranteed elimination on any player that is using the Wings of Icarus. \u201cIt extends your hitbox, doesn\u2019t it? I noticed it was easier than it should be to get hits on people mid-flight. I also got lasered by a pistol from what should\u2019ve been near impossible distance when I was using them,\u201d explained another player about the wings\u2019 increased hitbox.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
