Epic Games doesn’t release patch notes anymore, but if you play for long enough you’ll eventually spot the Kingsman Umbrella and Crash Pads. If you play around with each item a bit, you might get the hang of each item. But just in case you don’t think about a use for a certain item, we’re here to help explain what they do.
The Crash Pads are fairly simple, but the Kingsman Umbrella actually has a fair amount of use. And in case you’re wondering why it’s called that, the Umbrella is named after the Kingsman movie series. Since Chapter 2 Season 2 is based on secret agents, it only makes sense Fortnite would collab with Kingsman.
But, onto the items.

Thanks to Reddit’s SquatingDog, here’s a great breakdown of the Kingsman Umbrella gameplay.
The Kingsman Umbrella has a variety of uses.
Protects you from bullets like a shield Can save you from a fall Can be used as a pickaxe
You can essentially think of the Kingsman Umbrella as a lightsaber. It functions very similarly, aside from the fact the Umbrella can save you from a fall.
But one thing to take note of is that it can only be used as a shield for a short time. Eventually it breaks down and allows you to be shot again, so be careful while using the shield feature.

As I mentioned earlier, these are pretty self-explanatory.
You set one down, and you can bounce off of it. The video above shows SquatingDog jumping out of a helicopter and using one to save him from a fall, so it can work with great falls. There’s really not a whole lot else to explain, just go hop in a game and test them out.
