Highlights:
* Counters for the buffed vehicles in the latest season could be added in the future.
* Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 3 Leaks also revealed two new weapons.
Vehicles have become a nuisance in Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 3. The latest season buffed the durability of vehicles, and introduced a Nitro item that increases their speed and impact. Although the changes are in line with the rough landscape of the battle royale, having become a post-apocalyptic wasteland, and a rumored future Mad Max collaboration, cars have become the best weapons in the game.
This sudden shift from shooting to car combat could change in the future. Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 3 leaks suggest a few counters are on the way for the buffed vehicles.
Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 3 Leaks: Hijacking Feature Could Counter The ‘Buffed’ Cars In Latest Season
Fortnite has taken a Mad Max-approach in the latest season. However, the recent vehicle changes have made the battle royale more fixated on running over enemies instead of shooting precision. Destroying cars, let alone the powerful War Buses, requires at least two cartridges from an Assault Rifle.
According to a post by HYPEX, EPIC Games is working on a new “Car Hijacking feature” to counter vehicular combat this season. The credible leaker, who informed players of a potential Fortnite X Deadpool & Wolverine collaboration, did state that the feature wasn’t finished in time so it could be delayed till the next season.
For now, players can only hope to survive the Mad Max madness in Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 3 by building towers or camping inside buildings. They can also choose to get into a vehicle as quickly as possible, feed it Nitro, and overwhelm the opponents on open ground.
Potential Upcoming Weapons Minigun & TowHook Could Also Counter Vehicles In Season 3
A few hours after the news of a potential ‘Car Hijacking’ feature, HYPEX revealed that Fortnite BR is set to introduce Minigun and TowHook Gun. The gameplay footage shared by the account shows the Minigun mowing down enemies while the TowHook was used to attach to an enemy vehicle.
While the Minigun can wreck vehicles with its rapid-fire capability, the TowHook is the most interesting weapon. If the Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 3 leaks about a ‘car hijacking’ feature prove to be true and the dynamic is added to the game later, the TowHook could simplify the hijacking process.
The potential TowHook and Minigun will add to the Fortnite X Fallout vibe that Season 3 is trying to maintain. Fallout fans can currently purchase the T-60 Power Armor skin from the Item Shop and take a sip of the Nuka-Cola item added in the battle royale.
