A clutch of Twitch streamers have discovered a pretty hilarious exploit in the Fortnitemares Halloween update for Fortnite Battle Royale, the free-to-play last-man-standing version of Fortnite. The Halloween update included a skin for the rocket launcher, making it a pumpkin rocket launcher, and it turns out you can totally stand on the rockets and fly across the map.

In this video you can see streamers Sacriel and Zaccubus using the technique to surprise enemies and even snipe at them from midair. You need some good timing to pull it off, but it actually seems pretty simple once you’ve got it down: drop a flight of stairs, get a friend to line up the rocket, and drop off the top of the stairs onto said rocket. You can ride on it pretty indefinitely (or at least until it hits something and explodes).

Sadly this exploit seems to only be possible with the Halloween skin on your rocket launcher (and it might get patched out), but for now this is very funny and you should definitely give it a try.
