Rift Fish can be thrown by holding the Aim button and using the projectile arc to guide them. Once landed, it will ping its location to squad-mates.

Strategy[]
- Rift Fish are incredibly useful for escaping a fight or to travel across the map quickly, usually to escape the storm.
- If you are W-Keying and willing to fight, eat a Thermal Fish first, then a Rift Fish so you can spot players around the map.
- If you quickly use the rift fish but switch to another item fast enough, the rift sound will be heard, but the rift will not appear or affect players. This can be useful to trick an opponent into thinking that you have rifted.
Item ID[]
The Rift Fish is referred to as Flopper Rift in the files.
- Epic: WID_Athena_Flopper_Rift
