Fortnite Battle Royale is a unique battle royale game because of its building aspect. This is the thing that separates it from other games in the same genre, and what makes it so entertaining. Additionally, building skill is usually what separates average Fortnite players from really good ones.
However, most players don’t build huge structures unless they have a very strong foundation. Building anything that’s five or more stories tall will cause players to take fall damage if someone destroys their structure. Fortunately, the new Fortnite trick reduces fall damage by 75% in some situations, and it can be a lifesaver.
Fortnite trick for reduced fall damage
The YouTube duo named The Gamer Couple has recently posted this useful Fortnite trick. The trick is very simple and anyone can do it, yet it can save your life in so many situations. Additionally, the trick allows you to fall from the structure that is seven stories high and still survive!
Many Fortnite players put down a ramp while falling as this reduces fall damage. However, using a pyramid on top of a ramp will further reduce the falling damage, sometimes allowing players to keep most of their health.
The YouTubers have made a short summary of how effective this method is.
5 stories high:
- A drop to flat ground does 49 damage.
- A drop onto the top of a ramp does 25.
- A drop onto a ramp with a pyramid does only 12.
6 stories high:
- A drop to flat ground does 98 damage.
- A drop onto the top of a ramp does 55.
- A drop onto a ramp with pyramid does only 34.
7 stories high:
- A drop to flat ground kills you.
- A drop onto the top of a ramp kills you.
- A drop onto a ramp with pyramid does only 76 damage.
While going up seven stories high leaves players with only 24 health, this trick can be used for a quick escape against a better builder. Additionally, going six stories high and falling on a ramp-pyramid structure would leave you with 66 health, and most players can afford to do this.
