While leaping from high places usually results in death, Grind Rails, Air Vents, and Fortnite Ziplines all offer immunity to fall damage after use.

You can find Grind Rails and Air Vents all over MEGA City. Visit MEGA City and ride a Grind Rail as high up as you can, then jump off into the streets of the city to complete this challenge with ease. Alternatively, you can use a Fortnite Ascender to get to the top of one of MEGA City's skyscrapers, find an Air Vent, and use it to safely fall five stories or more without taking damage.

If you prefer to use a Zipline to complete this Week 9 quest, you can find Ziplines in the area surrounding MEGA City and at Points of Interest (POIs) like Lonely Labs, Brutal Bastion, and Shattered Slabs.

Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 2 features an assortment of items that players can use to traverse the Island at lightning speeds and avoid fall damage too! The Fortnite Kinetic Blade, Fortnite Lightsavers, and Fortnite ODM Gear are all excellent tools for getting up high and then descending back down without taking damage.

Even if you're far away from any tall buildings, you can ascend five stories by Dash Attacking with the Kinetic Blade or grappling with ODM Gear. Once you're five stories or higher, let yourself fall back down, and you won't take any fall damage.

While you can't use Lightsabers to rise upwards, you can take advantage of the Force Jump to survive falls from five stories and higher. Simply leap off a tall building or structure with a Lightsaber equipped, then use Force Jump to negate the incoming fall damage.

As you can see, there are plenty of ways to fall five stories or more without taking damage in Fortnite. Choose whichever method you fancy the most to complete this Week 9 quest and earn 12k XP toward your Chapter 4 Season 2 Battle Pass and Season Level.

To Force Jump, you must learn Force abilities at Rift Gates in Fortnite.
