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.
