Icy Feet

Icy Feet is a gameplay mechanic in Fortnite: Battle Royale. It was introduced in Season 6. It is a mechanic that is tied to player movement, and results in impaired control, but greater speeds and momentum.

Functionality
Icy Feet is applied when certain items come into contact with the player, and create large ice blocks on their feet. These blocks signify the player has the effect active. When the player has Icy Feet they:


 * Have impaired control of their movement. Turning in the opposite direction is delayed, and the player is very slow to move from a static position.
 * The player will have a momentum mechanic tied to their movement. This momentum can be increased by moving, going down an incline or receiving knockback. This momentum can be reduced by moving in the opposite direction, reaching an incline, colliding with a structure, or receiving knockback in the direction opposite to their movement.
 * When the player stops moving, any speed they have built up will continue to be present until the effect wears off, or the speed gradually decreases until they stop.

Icy Feet can be cancelled by getting knocked down or entering water.
