Wings of Icarus is an Epic Utility Item in Fortnite: Battle Royale that was added in Chapter 5: Season 2.

Functionality

Functionality[]

The Wings of Icarus allow the player to ascend into the air and maintain flight with multi-directional control for a prolonged period of time. As the player remains airborne, the Wings will slowly start to burn, eventually forcing a landing. When high enough, a Dive Bomb attack can be used. It consists of a high impact landing that deals damage to all structures in a 3x3 area and knocks opponents back, dealing them damage that can pierce through destroyed buildings.

When the player receives substantial damage mid-air, they will immediately crash to the ground, forcefully performing the Dive Bomb attack. After crashing, the cooldown before using the the Wings of Icarus again will be 12s instead of the normal 5s.

When the Wings of Icarus are held, the player will be rendered immune to fall damage and will receive a slight Low Gravity effect. These effects take place even outside of flight.

A player can carry more than one Wings of Icarus in their inventory at the same time. When a player finish using the Wings of Icarus, be it by crashing, landing or performing a Dive Bomb attack, all Wings of Icarus in their inventory enter cooldown.
