Gameplay[]

Test your courage and step through a Rift. You’re in for a wild ride.
— v5.0 Patch Notes

Rifts are a gameplay mechanic in Fortnite: Battle Royale. They were introduced in Season 4 and became usable in Season 5.

Description[]

Rifts are a stationary object which is not bound by gravity. When a player enters a rift, they are teleported high up into the air, and put back into a free-fall. From this point, the player can redeploy their glider and land safely. Rifts disappear after 10 seconds from use, but can fit as many players as possible in this time period.

Players in vehicles, as well as AI will be teleported into the sky. Vehicles will fall down, but AI will deploy a glider.

Lore[]

I've been thinking about rifts lately. Those, uh, things are basically energy portals pre-attuned to the Zero Point AND the Island.

Rift is a very common type of portal in Fortnite. It was introduced in Fortnite: Battle Royale Season 4 during the Blast Off event.

Rift have became a very prominent and reoccurring element in all of Fortnite. It made appearance in Fortnite: Battle Royale, Fortnite: Save the World, Fortnite: Creative, Fortnite Festival, LEGO Fortnite and Rocket Racing.

Overview[]
