Understand the full story behind Tips and Tricks for the Best 'Fortnite' Building Experience in this comprehensive feature.

There are many ways to get around in Fortnite. Outside of using vehicles, most Fortnite players will intuit that it's quicker to move through the environment by either sliding or bunny hopping, but both of these can be augmented by adding ramps to close gaps while sliding and deploying platforms while bunny hopping to achieve greater heights.

Ramps themselves are often useful for vertically traversing to higher points for loot or snipping positioning, but also can leave the player vulnerable to pot shots from enemies at higher or lower positions. One way to address this is to build ramps in two layers to add an extra buffer between enemy players.
