Earlier this week in Epic Games has announced a new addition that will be coming soon to their Fortnite Battle Royale  game mode. Players who login will see in the announcements that a new item called the Jetpack has been announced with the line “Take the fight to all new heights”.

The announcement of a Jetpack has left many fans curious as to how they will be bringing this about into the game, as Epic Games has said earlier that they will not be bringing vehicles into the game. There are a few ways that they could bring it into the game.

It could be a possible time limited game mode, with every player being equipped with the Jetpack to take the fight to higher ground, forcing players to build up? There was a post on Reddit that leaked some of the upcoming game modes, one of which was called Take to the Skies”, could this the game mode that was designed for Jetpacks?

The other option could be that Jetpacks are coming to the normal mode. The Jetpack could be an item that players will need to obtain in the game, just like any other weapon/ item. If this is the case, we think that they will be found in chests and Crates/ Supply Drops, the same as miniguns.

If the Jetpacks are placed in the normal game mode, we think that Jetpacks should only be found in Crates/ Supply Drops and that it should be a Legendary rarity only. This is because there wouldn’t need to be different variations with different stats for this item.

When the Jetpack is in use, we hope that players will not be able to shoot at the same time as flying. If players can shoot whilst using the Jetpack, it will give the user an extremely high advantage. This should be the same for building.

Epic Games have previously stated that they would not be introducing modes of transport to this map, as it is small enough to travel on foot. With this in mind, we think that the Jetpack will be slow, so that it is not used primarily as a mode of transport.
