In a Tweet, the leaker explained that the Wall Kicking mechanic would allow Fortnite players to jump off walls and gain height quickly. Although the gameplay video has not been uncovered yet, the data miner has posted a GIF showcasing how it could look once it's released in the game.

On top of that, Wall kicking overrides mantling, but you can mantle once again when the wall kick is finished. The direction of it also depends on your horizontal/vertical velocity.

So, although the Wall Kicking mechanic seems exciting, it's worth noting that players might have to deal with a lot of restrictions while using it.

When Does Wall-Kicking Movement Mechanic Release in Fortnite?

As of writing, there's no information available on when this movement mechanic will debut in Fortnite. So far, Epic has added files for the wall kick mechanic, meaning the feature is still under development and may take some time before it arrives officially in the game.
