How Will Mud Sliding Change Fortnite’s Bug Invasion Season? Important Details Revealed!
Fortnite brings new ways to move and play each season, making every match special. When mud sliding first popped up in Chapter 4 Season 3’s jungle-filled Wilds season, it quickly became a fan favorite. People liked how simple it made moving fast and being sneaky. After a short time, it disappeared, and players missed it. Now, leaks say this fun feature is coming back in Chapter 6 Season 4.
What Is Mud Sliding?
Mud sliding lets you zoom through muddy ground. Touch mud, and your character gets covered. You can then slide, picking up speed, and move much quicker than usual. But that’s not all:
- It hides you from thermal weapons.
- Stops some wild animals from seeing you.
- Gives a small movement boost to help escape or chase.
- The mud cover fades after about 30 seconds or if you splash in water.
Why Players Loved Mud Sliding
Players enjoyed the added chaos and stealth. You could sneak near rivals, escape fights, or plan a tricky move, all while slipping across muddy tracks. Sliding gave:
- Speed when most movement tricks were missing.
- Fun tactical moments from blending into the wild.
- New ways to dodge, chase, and surprise other players.
