Popular Fortnite leaker and creator HYPEX shared their findings on Twitter/X with a clip showing how to execute the easy mantle trick.

It may take a few attempts to master the move, but after a few tries it should become natural and can prove useful for various reasons.
Fornite OG players soon flooded the comments to express how they were just as shocked to find out the trick as HYPE X.
“Thank you! I’ve been trying to find a way to pick up a dropped item but it never worked this season,” a player responded.
As another pleaded for Epic Games to not remove it: “Please don’t patch this!” With one calling it “Two million IQ.”
Another player wasn’t as lucky when they discovered a certain death mechanic in Fortnite OG at the worst possible time.
