Fortnite Chapter 3: Season 2 has just been released and with it come a lot of new changes and features to the game. This is always an exciting time because Epic tries out a variety of new stuff and adds a bunch of different things that players haven’t experienced before. One of these new additions is the ability to mantle or climb over walls in the game. If you’re curious how this is done, we’ll show you how in this guide!

How to climb or mantle

To climb or mantle in Fortnite, you just need to jump towards a ledge and keep the jump button held down. This will work for you on a keyboard or a controller. The only prerequisite is that the thing you are attempting to climb must be tall enough for you to reach.

Jump on the keyboard is usually bound to spacebar, and on controller it is usually X or the A button. Keep that held down when you jump towards the structure you are attempting to climb, and you will automatically vault up it.

You can mantle quite a bit higher than you think! Heights that are about double your character’s size are doable when it comes to climbing. You pretty much do a kind of boost off of the wall and up to reach where you are trying to go. Experiment around with it because you’ll be surprised just how high you can climb!
