Fortnite’s “wild” Crash Pad Jr exploit leads to new meta in Chapter 5

One Fortnite player showed off a brand-new Crash Pad Jr meta that when combined with Flowberries will make you fly across the map with ease in Chapter 5 Season 1.

Fortnite has been well underway in Chapter 5 Season 1, as the Battle Royale has continued to have further additions introduced via several hotfixes.

The Lock-On Pistol and Crash Pad Jr joined via a hotfix. The pistol was previously known as the “Aimbot Pistol,” but due to it having a less than 10% loot spawn rate, it has not shaken up the meta.

However, the Crash Pad Jr has returned, after it was previously vaulted. One player has revealed that by combining the classic jump pad with Flowberries, you can exploit it and catapult yourself across the island. Here is exactly how.

Fortnite player’s Crash Pad Jr exploit lets you fly across the map

Fortnite player BoopNL_ announced: “Crashpad Flowberry rotates this season are about to be wild,” as they showcased a clip that has since gone viral for how best to use them.

During the short video, they can be seen first eating a Flowberry, and then placing a Crash Pad Jr on a platform. They then use the temporary zero gravity effects from the berries to jump on the pad, launch into the sky, and fly across the map.

This ingenious new method allows players to travel between POIs and different locations on the map quickly. It’s especially useful for making quick rotations with the circle, to get better positioning against enemies, or even for a quick getaway without being caught up.

With Crash Pad Jr’s previously being vaulted by Epic Games, it is unknown how long they will last this season, especially if they become far too OP, so make use of it while it lasts.
