How to get and use Wingsuit in Fortnite Chapter 7

Wingsuit in Fortnite Chapter 7 is a mobility item that helps you launch into the air, glide quickly and shorten the distance traveled. This is Epic Loot, appearing randomly when looting so it is not available in every match.

 

The powerful launch feature is similar to Jump Pad but the control is more flexible and harder to steer when turning sharply. Each suit has a limited number of activations (charges), so you have to time your flight appropriately to optimize uptime and avoid falling into a waiting enemy squad. This is a suitable item for fast rotation gameplay, climbing high to observe or avoid unfavorable combat in the final zone.

How to get Wingsuit

1. Loot from Chests

1. Wingsuits appear inside chest loot pools across the map.
2. Not guaranteed to be in regular chests → you need to open as many chests as possible .
3. Strategy: Drop early on POIs with lots of chests like buildings, bunkers, high stations, rooftops to increase the number of chests opened.

Fortnite chests are the most common spawn source but are purely RNG.

2. Loot from Supply Drops

1. Since Wingsuit is an Epic item, it has a higher supply rate than regular chests .
2. When you see a Supply Drop drop, prioritize moving towards it to increase your chances of getting the suit.
3. Note: Supply Drops often attract enemies, look around before opening.

 

3. Tips to increase your chances

1. Drop early, loot fast, rotate through clusters of chests instead of looting sporadically.
2. If you need long-distance mobility, don't overlook Supply Drops within the safe zone.

Effective Wingsuit looting is all about reading the game and intelligently allocating loot routes. Chests are easy to find but not all openings will yield epic items, so maximizing the number of chests opened in the first 2–3 minutes will determine the quality of your inventory build. Supply Drops provide a better loot pool but come at the cost of a more unfavorable fight.

Experienced players always stop scanning the terrain, listen for the enemy squad's footsteps, and choose an approach angle to drop with cover. This 'active luck' looting allows you to turn RNG into a tactical advantage, not just pure luck.

How to use Wingsuit

Equipment step

1. Open inventory → select equip Wingsuit in main item bar ( hotbar ).
2. Wingsuit does not activate automatically, you must equip it before using.

How to activate flight

Press Fire Button to launch into the sky.

While in the air:

1. Control the camera with aim/mouse/angle to rotate the direction.
2. Use the movement keys ( W/A/S/D or navigation ) to fly.

Track remaining charge : you will see the charge number displayed under the Wingsuit icon in the hotbar .

Note:

1. The speed increases dramatically but the driving feels inertial , turning suddenly makes it easy to lose control.
2. Watch your landing position, avoid rushing straight into enemy squads or places without cover.
3. Use the last shot to rotate into the safe zone instead of wasting it early.
4. Charge limit is an important tactical factor when flying.

 

Control tips and practical applications in battle

1. Don't turn too quickly when launching, wait for the glide to stabilize before steering.
2. Prioritize landing at cover height, including rooftops, cliffs, and hills with cover.
3. Don't dive straight down if you don't know the enemy squad's location.

Use suit to:

1. Climb height observe before push.
2. Out-rotate enemy team when zone shrinks.
3. Retreat quickly when focused from multiple angles.

The Wingsuit isn't just a flight item, it's a tempo-changer. When you launch, you're essentially changing your 3D position—not just moving further, but also up, opening up a new tactical perspective. This helps you restructure the game, predict other squad rotations, and avoid getting stuck in open areas with little cover.

Due to the limited steer and charge inertia, the player needs to think 5–10 seconds ahead after each launch: where will they land, is there cover, will they have an altitude advantage or not. Disciplined play makes the suit an advantage, not a risk of self-harm due to losing control while flying.

5. Conclusion

Wingsuit in Fortnite Chapter 7 is a powerful mobility item but depends on RNG loot , can be found in chests or supply crates, in which Supply Drop gives a higher probability. When using, you must equip it in advance, activate it with the Fire button, control it with the camera + movement keys, and watch the charge limit to rotate safely, avoiding enemy squads. If you master the speed and inertia of the steering, Wingsuit will be the fastest repositioning tool in Chapter 7 in 2025.
