Wall scrambling is a new movement option in Fortnite Chapter 6 that lets you climb up walls. It’s pretty straightforward to do, but getting it right takes some practice. Here’s everything you need to know about wall scrambling and how to use it effectively.

To wall scramble, you just need to:

  1. Sprint toward a wall
  2. Jump at the wall
  3. Hold the jump button when you hit the surface

That’s really it. The game does most of the work – your character will start climbing up automatically. You can reach spots about two walls high, which is quite a bit higher than regular mantling used to let you go.

The timing of your jump button press matters a lot. Press it too early, and you’ll just bounce off the wall. Press it too late, and you’ll slide down. Hit the wall first, then press and hold jump right away. After a few tries, you’ll get a feel for the right timing.

How to Practice Wall Scramble?

Start with flat walls – they’re the easiest to climb. The walls of buildings in Seaport City work great for practice. Stay away from walls with lots of weird angles or decorations at first – they can make climbing trickier.

The scramble works with wall kicks too. Kick-off one wall, turn around, and scramble up another. It’s faster than building up and uses no materials. Wall scrambling is useful for:

  • Getting to high places without using materials
  • Getting away from fights when you’re low on materials

Plus, doing wall scrambles counts for some Chapter 6 Season 1 quests. Remember, wall scrambling isn’t meant to replace building – it’s just another tool to help you move around the map better. Use it when it makes sense, like when you need to save materials or want to move quietly.
