The Trail Thrasher is a vehicle in Fortnite: Battle Royale. It was added in Chapter 4: Season 1.
Functionality[]
The Trail Thrasher is a fast moving dirt bike that can seat 2 players (driver and rear passenger). The motorbike can lift itself in the air, which is commanded by the driver with the jump button. The longer the jump is charged, the higher the vehicle will go. Furthermore, as the bike jumps, it can be spun around its axis in the air. Jumping correctly while moving will greatly increase horizontal speed. The charge of the jump is displayed through a green bar next to the fuel meter.
The Trail Thrasher can travel on uneven terrain at the same speed it travels on asphalt. It is equipped with a pair of tires that are different than the ones of cars, but can be analoguely be destroyed by dealing damage to them. The tires have their own health bar, so hitting them won't affect the overall integrity of the Trail Thrasher. However, bursting a tire will cause the vehicle to be extremely difficult to control while steering and will force it to take damage as it moves. The effects are doubled if both tires get neutralised. Tires can only be replaced by restoring the vehicle to max armor with a Repair Torch, as vehicle mods can't be applied to the Trail Thrasher.
Uniquely, the driver of the Trail Thrasher can also shoot their own weapons and use items, all whilst maintaining the momentum they have gathered. Simply using the aim, switch or shoot commands will trigger the pullout of the item; in this state, the driver can still turn even if their hands are not actually controlling the handlebar, though they cannot initiate a jump on the contrary. Not firing anything for a few seconds will automatically re-enter the full drive mode. The same applies to the passenger, who will be in a fixed position unless employing items. However the passenger can also build, while the driver cannot. Additionally, the driver has the ability to wheelie the Trail Thrasher and both crew members can perform tricks while in the air, collecting trick score (purely visual).
The Trail Thrasher has limited fuel and 550 HP. When drained, the vehicle will enter a vehicle death state and then explode, damaging everything in its surroundings, starting a fire and leaving a wreckage prop behind.
Obtained[]
