Guide to Slide Across a Vehicle in Fortnite
The new season of Fortnite has gone car crazy. At least for the first week, before all the counters and nerfs to make the game better balanced arrived. However, quests are still focusing quite a bit on vehicles. One of the most recent is to slide across a vehicle in Fortnite. What does it even mean?
This quest challenges players to do just this. There isn’t much clarity on what exactly it means though. Most of the time Fortnite quests are straightforward, but every now and again we get one like this that seems to enjoy being cryptic. The C5 S3 cars offer tons of potential to get this done easily though. This is what the quest means and how you can finish it off

What Does Slide Across a Vehicle Mean in Fortnite?
Sliding across a vehicle in Fortnite might not be the clearest solution, but it is actually quite simple.
All it’s referring to is using the in-game slide movement mechanic while on a vehicle. In theory, you’re hopping up and sliding across the hood of a car like the Dukes of Hazard. In practice, Fortnite’s game mechanics are a bit clunkier. It essentially wants you to get on a vehicle and use a slide to travel across it.
Simple right? In a live game, it could still present a challenge or two. There’s a simple method to get it done though.
How to Slide Across a Vehicle
If you’re not clear on how to slide across a vehicle in Fortnite, this is the easiest way to get the milestone done:
- Find a Jeep or SU – they have the widest bodies to make this easier
- Go somewhere quiet – You don’t want a fight interrupting you
- Climb onto the back of the car – Stand on top of it, by the very end
- Slide Across the vehicle to slide off onto the ground
That’s it! The other thing to keep in mind is that it doesn’t matter if you’re going side-to-side or front-to-back. However, back-to-front is a bit easier to hit and ensure the slide kicks in on time. Side to side might be the cooler trailer action shot Epic had in mind, but front to back is much easier to actually pull off.
There are loads of Fortnite quests to complete right now between the normal ones and the FN Summer event. This is a nice quick task to get finished up and collect some extra XP though.
