- Fortnite has silently removed the Wall Kick and Roll Landing mechanics, which were first introduced on December 1, 2024, with the launch of Chapter 6 Season 1.
- The movement features lasted nearly six months before being suddenly disabled in all Epic-made shooter modes like Battle Royale and Zero Build, with no prior notice or detailed explanation from Epic Games.
- Players are expressing frustration, pointing out that the current map was clearly designed to complement these mechanics, making their removal feel jarring and disruptive to gameplay flow.
Epic Games is known to announce everything related to Fortnite, whether it is a new update or a simple skin. However, in a surprising move, Epic Games has quietly vaulted two of the new Fortnite movement mechanics introduced in Chapter 6 Season 1 of Fortnite. The features, which included Wall Kick and Roll Landing, were removed from all Epic-made shooter modes, such as Battle Royale and Zero Build, without prior notice.
Although it was a part of the new update for Fortnite, there was no official confirmation earlier. The official Fortnite Status account has now confirmed the removal, stating, “We’ve disabled the Wall Kick and Roll Landing movement features introduced in C6S1 in all Epic-made shooter modes, such as Battle Royale and Zero Build.”
Players Frustrated over Fortnite’s Silent Removal of Movement Mechanics
This change came as part of the Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 3 update. However, there was no mention of the removal of Wall Kick and Roll Landing. The sudden change has left players frustrated, especially since the current map was designed with these movement mechanics in mind. One player commented, “So we’re stuck with a map designed with this movement in mind. Without the movement. Awesome.”
Another said, “Because f*** movement! Get your a*s around the map by cars and launchpads…and the occasional shockwave if you can find ‘em.” While a detailed explanation for the removal is missing, the lack of communication and abrupt nature of the change have sparked criticism from the community. Fortnite C6S1 introduced us to these new advanced movement upgrades, which fit the current map.
