How To Use The Fortnite Nitro Drifter

You can find the Fortnite Nitro Drifter everywhere on the Fortnite map, but the most accessible place to find one in the battle royale game is on the race track north of Mega City. Once you’ve boarded a Nitro Drifter in Fortnite, you’ll soon realize it acts like a regular car in many ways, with similar durability and maximum speed stats. However, as the car’s name implies, there is a way you can drift around corners and get a boost of speed, just like the karts in Mario Kart. This is how to drift with a Nitro Drifter in Fortnite.

How to drift into objects with the Fortnite Nitro Drifter

Hold down the driver brake button (the space bar on a keyboard and mouse or L1/LB on a controller) to drift with the Fortnite Nitro Drifter. If you want to drift for longer, holding the button for longer will give you more charge to boost off into the distance when you let go of it.
You probably don’t want to drift all the time as it makes it harder to control the car. Save it for tight corners or if you need to finish a mission. If it’s the latter, you can easily destroy fences or the inside of a small building if you build up enough speed.
That’s how to drift with the Fortnite Nitro Drifter, but there are other vehicles, such as the Fortnite Rogue bike and the newly returning Fortnite raptors, to use instead if you want. While you’re here, you may also want to know where to find all Fortnite NPC locations in the free PC game.
