Fortnite: First footage of X-4 Stormwing in action shows how exciting dogfights will be

Fortnite’s gun fights will take to the sky in Season 7 and judging by the first clips of the X-4 Stormwing fighter jet, dogfights are going to make for some epic encounters.

A clip posted to Reddit by u/BoltEscape shows that even when you have destroyed somebody’s Stormwing, that might not be the last you see of them. 

In Fortnite’s Season 7, even when your vehicle is destroyed you will have a chance of not only survival, but getting retribution on those who finished off your jet as well. Well, if you’re quick enough to pull it off at least. 

The new season of Fortnite has brought about great changes in the map, as it has been extended with a brand new snow biome being introduced on the left side. 

This change to the map has seen the arrival of a number of new places with Happy Hamlet, Frosty Flights and Polar Peak replacing the outbound Greasy Grove, Flush Factory and Viking Village. Snobby Shores and Shifty Shafts escaped the cut, but not the fresh blanket of snow.

The new patch also brings a variety of other new content to the game as well, not just the Stormwing. The update introduced a new weapon wrap option, all new camos for vehicles and ziplines have been added to the popular battle royale game.

The ziplines and fighter jets seem to have been a hit on social media too, with a number of players uploading clips of themselves using the features. In fact, in some of the clips below you will see both of these features. Check it out:
