Feel free to add tips, tricks and general advice about the topic.
  • Rift Fish are incredibly useful for escaping a fight or to travel across the map quickly, usually to escape the storm.
  • If you are W-Keying and willing to fight, eat a Thermal Fish first, then a Rift Fish so you can spot players around the map.
  • If you quickly use the rift fish but switch to another item fast enough, the rift sound will be heard, but the rift will not appear or affect players. This can be useful to trick an opponent into thinking that you have rifted.
