Fall damage

Fall damage is a mechanic in Fortnite: Battle Royale and Fortnite: Creative. It is a type of self-inflicting damage.

Functionality
Fall damage is a form of self damage when a player falls from a great height and lands on solid ground. When taking fall damage, it deals HP damage regardless of the amount of Shield. Fall damage starts at about 15 meters high (about 4 builds high) and deals at minimum 10 HP damage. It can eliminate a player at full health at about 30 meters.

When a player lands on water, Bouncer, Launch Pad, Crash Pad, or the top of an umbrella, no fall damage is taken.

Limited Time Modes with fall damage disabled are One Shot and Lazar & Fresh’s Super Knockback. Fall damage can be enabled or disabled in Creative.

Items that negate fall damage
These items launch a player into the air, but does not take fall damage when landing (excluding items that allow Glider redeploy):
