- — In-Game Description
Witch Broom is a Mythic Power in Fortnite: Battle Royale, that was added in Chapter 2: Season 4.
Functionality[]
Witch Broom has the same function as Silver Surfer's Board and Nimbus Cloud (Kintoun). Activating the item launches the player upwards, destroying structures in their path. After this, the player is put into Glider Redeploy. Pressing the shoot button will cancel the glide and drop the player to ground without Fall Damage.
Witch Broom acts differently in Fortnite: Reload, where it only has 10 uses before it disappears from the player's inventory unlike the infinite uses in other modes. The cooldown remains the same, however.

Trivia[]
- The glider that is deployed when using the Witch Broom is a TBD Cosmetic and it is called Glider Broomstick.
- When the player deploys the Witch Broom Glider, the sound of a cackling witch can be heard.
- When the player drops the Witch Broom, it will make the sound of a wood stick falling to the ground.
- The Witch Broom is the second surfing glider to have a unique deploying animation, the first being the Dragacorn, and the Hyperboard being the third.
- The unique deploying animation is the player riding the broom as it performs a brief loop-de-loop before transitioning to the normal surfing animation.
- The description before Update v18.21 was: 'Launch into the air and cackle through the skies. Reactivate to cancel early.'
