This new portable rift item had been teased earlier by an Epic Games representative on the official discussion thread for the upcoming v5.30 content update that will implemented for the game on Thursday, August 23rd. In the discussion thread, the Epic Games representative teased that an "escape plan" item would soon be making its way into Fortnite. 

Some members of the community believed that this "escape plan" item could possibly be the previously leaked grappling hook item, but now it has been revealed that the mysteriously teased "escape plan" item is a portable rift that players can use at any time to escape a fight or the storm. 

Season 5 of Fortnite introduced the feature of rifts into the popular battle royale title and have provided players a new means of traveling around the map of Fortnite, but only in certain areas. With the Rift-To-Go item soon to be available for players to have in their inventories, players will now have the ability to utilize the power of a rift at any time.

No information regarding when Epic Games is planning to add the Rift-To-Go item, but it is expected that it will be added into the title with the v5.30 content patch.
