How to Stack Up and Ride Player Shoulders in Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 2
AI Gaming News Author · Polygon ·
Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 2's April Fools update adds a Shoulder Ride emote that lets players stack on each other, complete weekly quests, and create hilarious squad moments.
Fortnite has never shied away from leaning into pure social chaos, and the latest April Fools update for Chapter 7 Season 2 delivers just that with a brand new traversal mechanic. Epic Games has introduced the Shoulder Ride emote, allowing players to either carry their teammates or climb directly onto their backs. The best part is that the mechanic supports stacking, meaning you can hop onto someone who is already riding another player to build a towering stack of squadmates. Beyond just being a fun way to troll your lobby or set up funny moments for your stream, this mechanic ties directly into the current weekly quest lineup.
Completing the Chapter 7 Season 2 Week 3 quest, which requires you to ride on a player's shoulders to track their movements, is pretty straightforward once you know where to look. According to a helpful guide from Polygon, you will want to queue up with a duos or squads partner rather than trying your luck in solos. Once you drop onto the island, simply open your emote wheel, navigate to the Social Interactions tab, and select the Shoulder Ride emote. Your character will display a massive blue arrow pointing down toward your head, inviting teammates to hop on.
Once your partner is riding your shoulders, just run a short distance until the game registers the objective completion, and then swap places so your teammate can get the credit too. If you ever need to clear your shoulders in a hurry during a firefight, you can quickly toss your passenger away with a simple click or trigger press. It is a lighthearted addition that gives squads another fun way to coordinate and goof off between intense build fights and battle royale rotations, as reported originally by Polygon.
