It says a lot about the pace and invention of Fortnite that, as soon as we heard the new update would add grind rails, as a team we started questioning whether the game had ever had grind rails before. Things come and go here, who can tell? There have been ziplines, and those wires that shoot you up into the air. And there was the track that the ballers could role along? Grind rails, though? At some point?
Now I’ve had a chance to play on them, I’m pretty sure – only pretty sure, mind – that this is new for Fortnite. And it’s good news, because grind rails make every game better. Jet Set, Sunset Overdrive? I love a grind rail. Who doesn’t?
And Fortnite’s are handled with typical flair. Getting on and off a rail is easy – you get a boost when you’re coming off one, which is so natural I actually found that I had anticipated it the first time I encountered it. You can grind in either direction and change your direction pretty easily. The lock-on for getting onto them is generous, and you can alter your speed and shoot while you’re moving. Best of all are the moments when you exit one grind rail and see another one almost lining up – how fast do you have to be going to make that connection? It’s Fortnite with a bit of Burnout Paradise and its magnetic street junctions built in.
