Epic Games has added many fantastic features to Fortnite over the past few years. The battle royale mode was released in September 2017 and has drastically changed since then. Some of the features have stayed in the game since the early days of Chapter 1, yet many players don’t know about them.

Bushes have played an important role in Fortnite for many years. In the early days of the video game, they were just a meme since they were strategically used by campers. However, a lot of players are not aware of the secret feature that bushes have.

One player was shocked to find out about the secret feature, but it turns out that many other players haven’t been aware of it.

This Fortnite feature can easily save your life

Bushes have been in Fortnite ever since its release in 2017. In the first season of the video game, Epic Games even added a Bush item. The item allowed players to blend in with nature and trick enemies into passing them.

While bushes have gone through numerous changes over the years, they have never been removed. Many players still use them to hide from enemies, and some jump on them to avoid fall damage. This secret feature has been in the game for a long time, yet many players just found out about it.

As you can see in the video above, Reddit user Crushmedavid was shocked to find out that bushes negated fall damage. The Fortnite player was not aware of the secret feature, but it turns out that they were not the only player who didn’t know this.

Interestingly, Epic Games even poked fun at the feature with the Chapter 2 – Season 6 cinematic trailer. Jonesy, the most popular Fortnite character, jumps out of the Battle Bus in the trailer and survives by landing on the bush.

The secret feature can be very useful in certain situations. Due to this, there’s no doubt many players will use it to save themselves from now on.
