Fortnite Player Shares Hidden Trick to Steal ‘Ride the Lightning’ Power

The introduction of the Ride the Lightning guitar in Fortnite was met with a combination of positive and negative reactions, but there is a secret feature that could potentially sway your opinion of it.

Metallica’s long-awaited arrival in Fortnite exceeded players’ expectations with an abundance of content. In Chapter 5 Season 3 of the battle royale, Loot Island underwent significant changes and a new Ride the Lightning Mythic item was introduced.

The guitar Mythic has been met with a mixture of opinions, and players are currently adapting to the new meta following the latest update, which also introduced additional items and brought back popular choices. In the meantime, some players are uncovering hidden techniques that can have a significant impact on the game when utilizing or countering Ride the Lightning.

According to Reddit user ‘Dobbles69′, a brief clip of a match showcased the ability to ride other players’ lightning trails after using Ride the Lightning.

The Metallica item is highly effective in evading difficult scenarios or handling multiple adversaries simultaneously, as it propels you into the air and causes you to move in unexpected ways. However, as demonstrated in the OP’s video, using Ride the Lightning also produces a brief trail resembling the letter M from Metallica.

In the clip, it was demonstrated by ‘Dobbles69′ that it is possible to engage with the trail and utilize it as a temporary Ride the Lightning, without requiring the item to be in your possession. This feature proves to be extremely beneficial in later stages of the game, such as the chaotic one displayed, as the current meta heavily favors armed vehicles.

Metallica quests will continue to be available until July 1, 2024. Be sure to familiarize yourself with using Ride the Lightning in order to complete all of these quests. Additionally, for those seeking to quickly gain XP, there are also Weekly and Story Quests that provide opportunities to unlock Quest rewards.
