Unstoppable horsepower and some skillful steering have allowed a Fortnite player to fly a Ferrari across the game’s entire map. Epic Games’ battle royale shooter has become well-known for its frequent crossovers with other video game, film, and television franchises. In the game’s newest and most unpredictable crossover, Fortnite has collaborated with the Ferrari 296 GTB sports car. As the first licensed vehicle available in the game, the shiny red Ferrari is an exciting prospect for any speed freak.
The powerful high-performance vehicle spawns infrequently throughout the world of Fortnite, meaning players must hunt it down if they want to hop in and experience the Ferrari’s power. The car can be found pretty reliably in Believer Beach and Lazy Lake. But speed fiends should beware, as rival players are sure to be looking for the newly-added Ferrari as well, so bringing weapons along is recommended. Once Fortnite players are behind the wheel of a Ferrari 296 GTB that can complete a number of challenging Ferrari 296 GTB Time Trials in order to earn a large amount of experience.
Reddit user Arceus_191 recently used a Ferrari 296 GTB in order to complete a death-defying flight across the entirety of Fortnite‘s map. The daring player used a massive ramp to gain speed and height, and once in the air, the Ferrari’s booster allowed them to maintain their impressive altitude. Strangely the booster continued to work even after the sports car ran out of gas, so the flight was stopped only when Arceus_191 hit the barrier at the very edge of the world.
People of r/FortNiteBR I don’t know if anyone has done it yet but I was able to fly a Ferrari across the entire map and I even was able to keep going after the car ran out of fuel. I went so far I hit the barrier and got stranded in the ocean. from FortNiteBR
Ferrari may be the first licensed car in Fortnite, but the game has been through a number of other crossovers with films, television shows, and video games. Fortnite‘s latest collaboration acts as a crossover with the recently released M. Night Shyamalan movie Old. The crossover comes in the form of a new Creative Mode Map which follows the film’s premise by placing players on an island that rapidly ages them. Players are tasked with gathering resources to escape the island, and a time limit counts down towards a sudden death from old age.
Fortnite‘s collaboration with Ferrari has added a high-speed vehicle to the game’s already large repertoire of fun tools and weapons. With a slick red paint job and a rocket-powered engine, the Ferrari 296 GTB allows players to reach truly ridiculous speeds as they race around the world of Fortnite. Now, thanks to Arceus_191, many players will likely use the powerful vehicle to soar through the skies as well.
Fortnite is available on all platforms.
