Fortnite’s Iron Man mythic has one major weakness

Although blasting through the sky and shooting plasma beams at enemies makes you feel just like Iron Man, one of his Fortnite mythics has a huge weakness that can be easily countered.
While Iron Man’s Combat Kit is an all-around decent weapon against enemies, players should be wary of using Iron Man’s Flight Kit in combat.
Even though it can take you high into space, there’s one glaring issue with the Flight Kit mythic. If you’re hit with just a few bullets while in flight mode, you immediately lose balance and tumble to the ground, making you vulnerable to the enemy.

One Reddit user questioned why getting one shot by an enemy’s gun could take you out of the sky. The main reason seemed to be for balance, as these boots are currently one of the best mobility items in the Fortnite meta.

It didn’t take long for some fans to realize that Iron Man’s Flight Kit boots were reskinned Wings of Icarus.
Funnily enough, players noticed in Chapter 5 Season 2 that these wings could make you fly like Iron Man, so it’s not surprising to see this mechanic return for Tony Stark himself.
History repeats itself, as players had also warned others to avoid using the Wings of Icarus after discovering its key weakness. Just like the Flight Kit, getting shot while wearing the wings caused players to careen to the earth.
