Gravity

Gravity is a Gameplay Mechanic in Fortnite: Battle Royale. Methods of altering a player's gravity were first introduced in Season 4, with the introduction of Hop Rocks.

Description
Gravity is the measurement of how fast a player or object will fall down to the ground. Gravity can be manipulated in Battle Royale via several methods. Oftentimes when a player's gravity is affected, they do not take fall damage, and will instead hit the ground with no damage taken, no matter the speed.

Gameplay
Gravity can be affected in various ways in game, both by settings for starting a match, and by items. Battle Lab has three options for gravity. These are Earth (Standard), Moon (Lower) and Asteriod (Very Low). Players will still take fall damage on the latter two, but they must fall from a very high height.

The following items and mechanics will alter the player's gravity

Other methods:

 * Players activating a Duel with a Character cause a Shockwave effect which lowers their gravity.
 * Areas mimicing an Alien Nanite (Such as Holly Hatchery) also share the same effect as it.

Trivia

 * Although some weaponry, such as the Bolt-Action Sniper Rifle fires bullets which appear to be affected by gravity, changing the gravity of the game mode via Battle Lab, will not change the trajectory of said projectiles.
