Fortnite players have been using War Machine Hover Jets wrong

Have you been utilizing War Machine Hover Jets to maneuver around the Fortnite Island this season? We have a helpful tip to assist you in mastering the technique.

The latest season of Fortnite, Chapter 5 Season 4, has introduced an array of one-of-a-kind weapons and items to the game. These include iconic items such as Captain America’s Shield and Doctor Doom’s Arcane Gauntlets, which provide players with powerful equipment to combat the villains of this season.

War Machine’s Arsenal is comprised of three powerful tools: an Auto Turret, Hover Jets, and the combination of Arsenal Arm Cannons and Rockets. While the Turret and Arm Arsenal are formidable attack weapons, the Hover Jets are perfect for navigating the island.

The War Machine’s Arsenal combines Auto Turret, Hover Jets, Arm, and Shoulder Cannons.

The arsenal’s Hover Jets function similarly to jetpacks, with a limited cooldown period. They allow players to hover and gain a tactical advantage over their opponents. However, this often results in ineffective hovering and the jets quickly depleting their fuel after only travelling a short distance.

However, despite this obstacle, one skilled Fortnite player named Prospering managed to discover a tactic for using the Hover Jets endlessly without suffering any fall damage, while at the same time allowing for increased travel across the entire island.

After we attempted the same method on a controller, we found that it worked perfectly, just like it did for Prospering, a KBM player in Fortnite who shared the Instagram Reel.

To execute the “P-Dash”technique, also known as the Endless Hover Jets method in Fortnite, simply follow these instructions:

Press the Sprint key/button while moving forward to initiate a sprint.
Press the Double Jump button rapidly to activate Hover Jets.
Press the Cancel Hover button immediately upon entering hover.
As you descend from Cancel Hover, use the Slide or Crouch button on your input device to transition into a slide.

After mastering the aforementioned movements, the sequence of key presses would be as follows: Sprint -> Double Jump -> Cancel Hover -> Slide in quick succession.

Despite the initial difficulty in mastering the technique, once you become familiar with it, you will be able to swiftly rotate around the island and avoid any oncoming attacks.

Don’t forget to also explore the top chest spawn locations on the island and take on the challenges that will help you level up quickly in the new Fortnite season.
