If they were to make mech skins, they would essentially be forced to keep them in the game indefinitely so people would get their money’s worth of the cosmetics. This is why the cars and the trucks are still around in game because Epic has dug themselves into a hole by making skins for them. I think I’d be pissed if I bought the Delorean only for them to vault the cars next season.
I disagree, Epic hasnt ever vaulted cars since their introduction in Ch2 Season 3, they lasted throughout all of Chapter 2, 3 and 4.
Epic probably made car skins because at that point Cars are treated like a standard vehicle in the game and they probably had no intention of ever removing them.The only thing Car skins might've done was remove the different types of cars, like Taxis, Trucks and what not, given that they dont support car skins.
And more over, ATKs were unvaulted this season for the golf POI, so they do seem interested in bringing old vehicles back if it fits
But Epic probably figured 300v/500v/800v wraps didn't sell as well as the 1500v/2000v/2500v cars they sell now. So we're most likely never going to see stuff like that ever again sadly.
I mean, the mechs aren’t even ingame anymore. You can still set up controls for them in settings, but they aren’t playable in any modes, including creative.
Other cars can sell wraps though if they go back to what they were doing from the beginning. Not advocating for overpriced Wraps, but the solution isn’t impossible (and imo you should already be able to use wraps on sports cars and suvs)
HOW IS THE HOVERBOARD NOT ALONGSIDE THE DELOREAN?! We got a green one for Ninja Turtles for some reason, so why can’t we just have a pink one for Marty?
I hate how they implemented the hoverboard. They could have made it a vehicle, glider or even a traversal emote but they chose the lamest option with that built in emote.
There were plenty of vehicles in the Simpsons mini season. I don’t know why they made them so rare this season. Loot in general this season is way too sparse for how large the map is.
At least back then it kinda made sense since they had introduced the helicopter variant! Which was pretty fun to ride AND you could still find cars pretty easy.
Now you literally have a ramp to jump off from and gove you loot in C7, and before a car would prolly spawn right next to it, now by the time you find one the storm has most likely consumed the POI and it makes it so rare to get there (that is if you didn't run out of gas before and had to ditch the one car)
their trying so hard to not have the game be as fun as it was in WRECKED. Epic stop listening to sweats and let car combat exist and be fun again
if I die in boots on the ground it’s not fun, I die in a rapid car chase fight like it’s mad max? Even without the car weapons? it’s not enraging at all. I’m too enthralled with what’s just happened and laughing to get mad
The dumb thing is that Nicks main schtick is doing role-playing things with his viewers, so idk why he’s complaining about it being too hard to fight people.
They do pander to competitive players only in ranked, the reality is the casual community complains as well
The comp players don’t complaint that much cus they cater to us in ranked but when theirs any nerf in regular it’s our fault despite being completely detached
I head someone say that the new boss medallions nerfs were because of comp players meanwhile most of us wouldn’t even know they exist because they’re not enabled in ranked
Tbf shockwave spam is just incredibly boring to play into. It's pretty much a get out of jail free card vs the jetpack where there is a risk to using it to run away.
It's very frustrating to play a game where everyone just runs away with shockwaves
I don't get why people believe Epic listens to NickEh30 and does exactly what he says. At the time of his complaint, I could walk out of any POI with 12 shockwaves, they were too common. It was obvious to nerf the spawn rate.
I remember when a Rainbow Six Siege youtuber, Bikinibodhi, pointed character op Zofia self-revive feature affecting esport competition. Next thread, she got nerfed.
5 years later, Rainbow Six Siege and Ubisoft got massive hacking breach this month
I was expecting them to add more vehicle variety and then they removed bikes altogether & decreased the spawn rate of the cars, someone at epic really likes walking I guess.
What sweats? It was this sub that was crying everyday because they sat on a hill and got knocked over with the kneecapper.
I swear this sub is so cringy when it comes to blaming sweats. "It's the sweats fault that car spawns are nerfed"... even though cars haven't been a thing in competitive for a while.
The new melees are bad bc of you guys lol they were perfectly fine in build/comp modes but every day there were new posts on here about how they were broken in zb.
If you want proof, literally search typhoon blade or kneecapper or bat on this subreddit and look at how all the complaints are about Zero build.
But you guys don’t want proof or actual discussion you just want to be negative about everything and blame comp for everything. You guys don’t even have a clue about what comp or just regular build players don’t like because every time ppl try and have that discussion here it’s ignored or shut down lmao.
Fr people love to blame the sweats for everything but all of last season in this subreddit it was constant complaints over the new melee weapons or some new mechanic that they introduced that was actually cool.
Yeah it's always "COMP PLAYERS FAULT" even if there is no actual reasoning or evidence. You have people calling NickEh30, a children's content creator, a "competitive player."
They’re not saying car cosmetics are related to being in comp modes, they’re saying that cars are the only vehicles now because they want to sell car skins
Comp players don’t give a shit about normal BR lol. Comp players only care about Ranked, and they’ve been vocal about it and they always wanted a separate loot pool.
As I said comp players only care about Ranked, people who complain about balance issues are literally the average players. I don’t know why this sub thinks that the average players like overpowered stuff, they don’t.
No???? While it's true that cars aren't in comp because they're uncompetitive (too easy rotates, instantly break through walls), it's not the reason EPIC doesn't do them anymore. Blame C5 and ESPECIALLY wrecked. C5 removed all cars except the whiplash and added the trailsmasher, then wrecked totally fucked up cars with health scaling and slowing the whiplash and giving it better offroading.
Please stop blaming "sweats" for literally everything, especially if the base issue is on epic. There is a time and place for it, but it's not here.
idk why this is so high up. Cars have been out of tournaments since like chapter 2 and its not like comp has ever stopped em from adding broken stuff to the lootpool anyways.
Wrecked was not fun to the majority of the player base, and it is still one of the worst seasons when it comes to player count. It only got saved because of the introduction of Reload.
Same reason we don't have a voting system anymore. Streamers told their fans to vote for a certain item during that time and pretty much rigged the votes. It's one of the reasons Terns(one of the skins during the voting period) wasn't released until a few years later
You guys actually just make things up no one was ever rallying their fans to vote for skins, item voting is gone because the general playerbase is 7 year olds that vote for items that are bad for the game (you guys saw grapplers and bouncers and chose the f*cking drum gun) and the one time they did the block vote that’s gone too because they messed it up .
Furthermore. We literally have player count stats and we saw how low it dropped in wrecked.
Anyone defending Mechs did NOT play during Season X. Yes, the giant robot with missiles, huge structure damage, way too much health and an invisibility glitch that encouraged teaming in solos was perfectly balanced.
The plane has low hp and the shooting accuracy is horrendous compared to before, when it was more of an explosive round, now you have to hit the people directly and to 40 dmg. Idk about structure damage. Quads don't fly like they did
I hope they bring it back without nerfing it immediately. It was a nightmare to play back then and I want newer players to be terrorized by it and united by it.
If you were the only squad/duo around and saw a mech, there was a good chance it was back to the lobby. But sometimes you would be in a firefight with 3 other teams around you, and a mech would show up. EVERYONE would stop fighting each other and target the mech to destruction. It was an unspoken bond in the community that united the player base.
After they nerfed it, it wasn't too bad to go against. Was a fun vehicle in an overall fun season. I do miss when they had wackier vehicles and loot pools
I'm assuming it'll be similar to what they did with the zapatron. Vaulted for the season, except for a single weekend or two. I have a feeling they'll do the same with the Infinity Blade.
We barely get any new vehicles after they introduced car skins. The obvious reason is a financial one. We will probably only get new vehicles during collabs like the X-wings.
Part of it might be that since a section of the shop is dedicated to Car / SUV skins that they have disincentivized putting other vehicles in there that they can't connect to the shop.
Yeah I remember not loving planes, but mechs were truly unplayable. And at the time, there were thoughts that it was gonna be an OG season, so to bring that in was tough
I’m in the minority but I thought they were awesome. You can either hide and hope they don’t see you or run, or hop in and self destruct it. If you had a hoverboard they couldn’t touch you cause the mechs were too slow.
The only reason is because of car cosmetics. Fortnite had to give purpose to the cosmetics outside of rocket racing, so they forced the only vehicles on the map to be the SUV and the whiplash.
It’s incredibly unfortunate, fun vehicles made Fortnite really funny, a lot of good memories relate to them, but I guess a business needs to make money somehow.
Because how will they sell you overpriced cars in the shop? Why would they give us "interesting vehicles" when they can give us two boring base model cars and give us the option to pay to make them interesting
One day Epic just decided they wanted only 2 types of vehicles and gave up on the rest of the fun ones, I wish they brought back the brute or some equivalent too because that was amazingly fun to use.
Nothing “happened”. I don’t know why the Fortnite community is so whiny about literally everything recently.
We just got the Delorean, a vehicle that has a time travel gimmick that lets you collect vaulted weapons.
Literally mere weeks before that, they changed the reboot van into a vehicle which has changed team modes a lot. (The ATK was also unvaulted)
The season before that, we got the rolly polly bug, which in my opinion is one of the best vehicles we’ve ever seen. (We also got the OXR choppa but that was admittedly a reskin)
A few seasons before that we had 2 Star Wars vehicles added to the game.
The season before that saw the addition of the armored van.
And then in chapter 5 we saw the literal entire season of wrecked and the suv. (Drift boards and dirt bikes also returned in this chapter)
Do any of you guys actually play the game or do you just post about it on Reddit and have zero clue about anything recent ??
Being fair to op, I think they're talking about some of the wackier vehicles they've had in the past like the ones in the image. Stuff that you've mentioned like the armored van and atk really aren't the super crazy vehicles they're asking about because they're pretty much just normal cars.
This subreddit is miserable. Like I understand voicing your concerns over changes to Winterfest or the pricing model of sidekicks, but the whining has gotten out of hand to the point where people have created new subreddits
There were various glitches you could perform back in Chapter 2, like one where you could glitch out your own map and use the Creative Mode Phone to reach other islands and delete shit. They probably just didn’t think keeping it was worth it and decided to vault it instead, it’s infamously hated to and barely anyone has noticed its disappearance since.
I believe I read something about them switching how you spawn it in like getting rid of the trap spawners and they just didn't make a new brute spawner.
with how whiny some players are, i doubt we'll ever see mechs again unless they nerf them to hell like they did a few years ago when they returned. 🙂↕️
To be fair, when they first released them, they were hella OP. If I got in a mech early game, I had a 90% chance at the dub. Was just basically a cheat code until they nerfed it.
Just had to avoid multi team engagements, as it became the unspoken rule that everyone stops fighting each other and targets the mech.
We NEED a new vehicle, having the same two for over a year, nearly two, is getting really tiring, the delereon is just a modified whiplash, same as Homer's car from the Simpsons season
The ranked players complained enough in C5S3 to make Fortnite worry about their profits, so they listened to the ranked players and the game isn't fun anymore
They want money from vehicle skin sales, anger/complaints from the player base, and now that Fortnite has been around for years they’re aware of what the community responds to negatively and won’t often add a game changing vehicle like back in chapter 1, since that’s when they were still widely experimenting with things.
Kinda wish they added the motorcycles back into the seasons at some point, like they could add skins for it easily like most of the bike emotes like the light cycles from the Tron Ares mini collab they had as skins for them (yes I know some of them handled like hot garbage but considering it needs to be somewhat profitable I think motorcycles would be the way to go considering the many motorcycle related emotes and textures they already have from current or new collabs.)
You can thank car sloppa for that. WHIPLASH AND TRAILSMASHER UNTIL THE END OF TIME!!! GOTTA GET THAT HECCIN ROCKET LEAGUE COMPATABILITY!!! (1.8k players btw)
Damn that robot was a real s.o.b when it first came about. Loved roaming in those. The globe grappler things were awesome too. Swing up to Polar Peak do a full loop and swing off. Fortnite used to be so fun
Too many sweats and cheaters complaining probably. It's not fair to them unless your standing still or your head is fully visible for aimbot headshots.
Car cosmetics, plain and simple
Other vehicles don't sell car skins
I feel like a mech skin would sell. Gives epic more reasons for skins?
If they were to make mech skins, they would essentially be forced to keep them in the game indefinitely so people would get their money’s worth of the cosmetics. This is why the cars and the trucks are still around in game because Epic has dug themselves into a hole by making skins for them. I think I’d be pissed if I bought the Delorean only for them to vault the cars next season.
Tbf it is kinda rare to find a car nowadays.
I disagree, Epic hasnt ever vaulted cars since their introduction in Ch2 Season 3, they lasted throughout all of Chapter 2, 3 and 4.
Epic probably made car skins because at that point Cars are treated like a standard vehicle in the game and they probably had no intention of ever removing them.The only thing Car skins might've done was remove the different types of cars, like Taxis, Trucks and what not, given that they dont support car skins.
And more over, ATKs were unvaulted this season for the golf POI, so they do seem interested in bringing old vehicles back if it fits
I miss them
Supplemental Mechs?
Titanfall 3? “Fortitanfall”?
We did have mech skins. They were called Wraps.
But Epic probably figured 300v/500v/800v wraps didn't sell as well as the 1500v/2000v/2500v cars they sell now. So we're most likely never going to see stuff like that ever again sadly.
I mean, the mechs aren’t even ingame anymore. You can still set up controls for them in settings, but they aren’t playable in any modes, including creative.
Epic, make a Code Geass collab and I will spend so much money on skins.
Absolutely not there’s already enough bullshit they’re selling in this game
Other cars can sell wraps though if they go back to what they were doing from the beginning. Not advocating for overpriced Wraps, but the solution isn’t impossible (and imo you should already be able to use wraps on sports cars and suvs)
They’ll eventually sell a car with wrap customising, like they did with skins
True, but they could at least add the mechs to creative ;(
Why are there hardly any cars on this new map? I never find any!
Also the community. Complaining complaining complaining complaining complaining complaining. Epic probably had enough and stopped.
Shorter answer money
They could bring back mechs and make Titanfall skins
also losers complaining about the Brute mechs, that started it all
I was surprised they even gave us the Xwings and TIE Fighters in Galactic Battle
HOW IS THE HOVERBOARD NOT ALONGSIDE THE DELOREAN?! We got a green one for Ninja Turtles for some reason, so why can’t we just have a pink one for Marty?
No seriously I was really hoping for hoverboards when I heard that BTTF was gonna be part of this season it just makes sense to have them
It's not too late. Epic comes back from break on Jan 9
Heck, UT3 (another game partially developed by Epic) had hoverboards that let you skitch (via cable) vehicles.
Exactly like how are they not even in OG? And this was the season they came out too
Theres even a whole damn skatepark on the map that would be perfect to use with hoverboard
Where at?
probably because they put hoverboard as emote. that's lazy ass reasoning, but oh well
I hate how they implemented the hoverboard. They could have made it a vehicle, glider or even a traversal emote but they chose the lamest option with that built in emote.
I’m wondering where it is in OG, this was the season it was in
We need epic to see this.
What the hell happened to vehicles*? Rare as hell to find a truck or whiplash. Feels like they absolutely want wing suits used.
Unfortunately the vehicle rarity issue started last chapter during fortnitmares and has stuck around since
Nfr i swear and the whole 4 gas stations a re killing me used to be like 8 now theres 4 and i swear people blow em up so its a fat 0
YES OMG! One of the reasons I stopped playing! The gas stations would ether be in the storm or blown up
There were plenty of vehicles in the Simpsons mini season. I don’t know why they made them so rare this season. Loot in general this season is way too sparse for how large the map is.
For me 80% of the time the only vehicle I could find was the simpsons car
At least back then it kinda made sense since they had introduced the helicopter variant! Which was pretty fun to ride AND you could still find cars pretty easy.
Now you literally have a ramp to jump off from and gove you loot in C7, and before a car would prolly spawn right next to it, now by the time you find one the storm has most likely consumed the POI and it makes it so rare to get there (that is if you didn't run out of gas before and had to ditch the one car)
Agreed, Ch6 (especially s4) was balanced with cars given the rolly-polies and OXR VTOLs available.
The Simpsons season was also balanced since they were fewer vehicles but the map was significantly smaller than usual.
And now vehicles are rare. It's like they wanted players to scrap over the Vow Blade and Wingsuits for mobility.
I remember i wanted to get the Mystery Machine. Until I realized I had t driven an SUV in months.
their trying so hard to not have the game be as fun as it was in WRECKED. Epic stop listening to sweats and let car combat exist and be fun again
if I die in boots on the ground it’s not fun, I die in a rapid car chase fight like it’s mad max? Even without the car weapons? it’s not enraging at all. I’m too enthralled with what’s just happened and laughing to get mad
It's great, since people aren't running from every single fight anymore.
Nick eh 30 complained about shockwaves and cars being too common, so epic nerfed the spawn rate.
It’s so stupid how they sit and pander to competitive players in normal modes and don’t just fill their complaints out in ranked only
The dumb thing is that Nicks main schtick is doing role-playing things with his viewers, so idk why he’s complaining about it being too hard to fight people.
No clue
Nick is not a competitive player.
Is nick a competitive player?
No, and furthermore people here just like to blame competitive players even though they have a completely different lootpool and don't ever play pubs.
They do pander to competitive players only in ranked, the reality is the casual community complains as well
The comp players don’t complaint that much cus they cater to us in ranked but when theirs any nerf in regular it’s our fault despite being completely detached
I head someone say that the new boss medallions nerfs were because of comp players meanwhile most of us wouldn’t even know they exist because they’re not enabled in ranked
Comp players aren’t the issue
Tbf shockwave spam is just incredibly boring to play into. It's pretty much a get out of jail free card vs the jetpack where there is a risk to using it to run away.
It's very frustrating to play a game where everyone just runs away with shockwaves
I don't get why people believe Epic listens to NickEh30 and does exactly what he says. At the time of his complaint, I could walk out of any POI with 12 shockwaves, they were too common. It was obvious to nerf the spawn rate.

I was expecting them to add more vehicle variety and then they removed bikes altogether & decreased the spawn rate of the cars, someone at epic really likes walking I guess.
It's almost like as if they valuted them 😭🙏
Damn I forgot that we used to be able to drive trucks.
Plane and quad still in OG, I love flying all over the place!
Car and truck cosmetics feel like the nail in the coffin for unique vehicles and I feel like they’ll be here to stay.
Competitive Players
Also can't sell skins for them like you can for cars.
Wraps
Wraps don’t even apply to normal cars if you don’t have a car skin
They’ve pretty much stopped caring about that system
Fr. Crybaby everytime. They don’t know whay fun is
They do, they just hate seeing anyone else besides them have fun
Yep same reason why the hanzo katana feels like ass to use. The typhoon blade was so much more fun.
Epic should quit listening to sweats because their ideas make the game worse everytime.
What sweats? It was this sub that was crying everyday because they sat on a hill and got knocked over with the kneecapper.
I swear this sub is so cringy when it comes to blaming sweats. "It's the sweats fault that car spawns are nerfed"... even though cars haven't been a thing in competitive for a while.
Finally someone with common sense
The new melees are bad bc of you guys lol they were perfectly fine in build/comp modes but every day there were new posts on here about how they were broken in zb.
If you want proof, literally search typhoon blade or kneecapper or bat on this subreddit and look at how all the complaints are about Zero build.
But you guys don’t want proof or actual discussion you just want to be negative about everything and blame comp for everything. You guys don’t even have a clue about what comp or just regular build players don’t like because every time ppl try and have that discussion here it’s ignored or shut down lmao.
Fr people love to blame the sweats for everything but all of last season in this subreddit it was constant complaints over the new melee weapons or some new mechanic that they introduced that was actually cool.
The hanzo katana is based on the kinetic blade not the typhoon blade and is a mobility item
Comp players are not at fault for this at all, they disable stuff like this in ranked so we would never complain about it in the first place.
The Katana is a great mobility tool. It’s not designed to be used as a weapon
vehicles haven’t been in competitive for over 4 years yall just go to blame them so quick 😭😭
Yeah it's always "COMP PLAYERS FAULT" even if there is no actual reasoning or evidence. You have people calling NickEh30, a children's content creator, a "competitive player."
it's so obviously because of car cosmetics i hate this stupid sub
even before car cosmetics they weren’t in comp
they’ve been out of competitive since chapter 3
They’re not saying car cosmetics are related to being in comp modes, they’re saying that cars are the only vehicles now because they want to sell car skins
“Fun” aka being one shot by bullshit lmao
Its been banned for 4 years bruh
Comp players don’t give a shit about normal BR lol. Comp players only care about Ranked, and they’ve been vocal about it and they always wanted a separate loot pool.
Lots of competitive players still play regular br. You can see tons of them complain about balance for things that aren't in ranked.
As I said comp players only care about Ranked, people who complain about balance issues are literally the average players. I don’t know why this sub thinks that the average players like overpowered stuff, they don’t.
No???? While it's true that cars aren't in comp because they're uncompetitive (too easy rotates, instantly break through walls), it's not the reason EPIC doesn't do them anymore. Blame C5 and ESPECIALLY wrecked.

idk why this is so high up. Cars have been out of tournaments since like chapter 2 and its not like comp has ever stopped em from adding broken stuff to the lootpool anyways.
The casuals here love to blame everything on "competitive players" or "streamers" -- it is their go to over and over.
Please explain how? Competitive players have nothing to do with pub loot pools. Seems like you just like claiming this.
And rocket league

Wrecked was not fun to the majority of the player base, and it is still one of the worst seasons when it comes to player count. It only got saved because of the introduction of Reload.

I quit because of the mechs. Just don’t put overpowered bullcrap in comp. Problem solved.
Learn how to fight against a mech and maybe you won’t die to it
Lol you obviously never played against them when they came out.
Anyone defending Mechs did NOT play during Season X. Yes, the giant robot with missiles, huge structure damage, way too much health and an invisibility glitch that encouraged teaming in solos was perfectly balanced.
This "adapt" argument is so stupid.
They only use the sword so they can use it as a mobility tool rather than a weapon to kill with
I mean, the sword is total dookie as a melee weapon. But it’s pretty decent as a mobility item
Btw y’all think epic will bring back the mech in og?
it's probably gonna be nerfed if not i'm taking my friends into og so the can experience getting chased by one
Honestly it would be a lot of fun reliving the nightmare of prime Season X mech
Sadly not gonna happen, especially if they use the nerf mech.
Yeah, until you actually get to relive those times and remenber why everyone abhorred the mechs
tilted town was our squads landing spot it was like cowboy town where u couldn't build or break buildings
Yeah maybe atleast we'd have it 👀 cuz people keep telling me that the plane and the quad are nerfed. I can’t tell since i never experienced them
The plane has low hp and the shooting accuracy is horrendous compared to before, when it was more of an explosive round, now you have to hit the people directly and to 40 dmg. Idk about structure damage. Quads don't fly like they did
I hope they bring it back without nerfing it immediately. It was a nightmare to play back then and I want newer players to be terrorized by it and united by it.
If you were the only squad/duo around and saw a mech, there was a good chance it was back to the lobby. But sometimes you would be in a firefight with 3 other teams around you, and a mech would show up. EVERYONE would stop fighting each other and target the mech to destruction. It was an unspoken bond in the community that united the player base.
After they nerfed it, it wasn't too bad to go against. Was a fun vehicle in an overall fun season. I do miss when they had wackier vehicles and loot pools
There's no way they don't
most likely, if it does get added back I won't be surprised if it's gets nerfed, probably-
I'm assuming it'll be similar to what they did with the zapatron. Vaulted for the season, except for a single weekend or two. I have a feeling they'll do the same with the Infinity Blade.
I want them to bring back the prime mechs. Sure they were busted but it was honestly kinda fun running away in fear trying to kill one.
Epic just wants money from vehicle skins.
Don't expect any unique vehicle to return nowadays unless Epic feels like they're able to make skins for it which will sell well.
The best luck for unique and fun vehicles is it being a seasonal vehicle or a limited time thing.
Mind u i can barley find a car
What happened to literally any vehicle??
Gimmie my boat back!
Ufo
Literally the day I learned you could emote in the mechs is the day they were removed from creative and I never saw them again
I used to just make the mech dance and do traversal emotes
Can't monetize them
We barely get any new vehicles after they introduced car skins. The obvious reason is a financial one. We will probably only get new vehicles during collabs like the X-wings.
Part of it might be that since a section of the shop is dedicated to Car / SUV skins that they have disincentivized putting other vehicles in there that they can't connect to the shop.
It’s impossible to articulate how hated the mechs were when they came into the game.
The rest of these rocked
Planes, Ballers, and Quads were hella abused when they were ingame lol
Season 7 got pretty unplayable in squads because of Planes alone
Yeah I remember not loving planes, but mechs were truly unplayable. And at the time, there were thoughts that it was gonna be an OG season, so to bring that in was tough
I’m in the minority but I thought they were awesome. You can either hide and hope they don’t see you or run, or hop in and self destruct it. If you had a hoverboard they couldn’t touch you cause the mechs were too slow.
Eh? Mechs were fun as heck!
its probably something sad like they can't monetize them with skins like they do normal vehicles
like we get maybe one season out of the year that we get something that wraps work on, and it's usually just the golf kart lol
Fortnite is at end stage shittification
People running away made the reputation of vehicles dirt
I would kill to have the Air Royal come back as a gamemode. Also how is this even a movie themed season if the loot pool doesn’t reflect that at all?
The only reason is because of car cosmetics. Fortnite had to give purpose to the cosmetics outside of rocket racing, so they forced the only vehicles on the map to be the SUV and the whiplash.
It’s incredibly unfortunate, fun vehicles made Fortnite really funny, a lot of good memories relate to them, but I guess a business needs to make money somehow.
I almost made this exact same post. After having a dogfight in OG, I realized br was missing the same chaos. Bring back driftboards
Skins on cars happened. If you don't need a new normal car once in a while, then you don't need any special vehicles
Because how will they sell you overpriced cars in the shop? Why would they give us "interesting vehicles" when they can give us two boring base model cars and give us the option to pay to make them interesting
Sweats complained and ruined it
One day Epic just decided they wanted only 2 types of vehicles and gave up on the rest of the fun ones, I wish they brought back the brute or some equivalent too because that was amazingly fun to use.
We literally just had the Rollie pollies last chapter Also the robbable vans as well
I remember brute mech Fortnite creative mode
I hate cars so much. We used to have a variety of vehicles and now it’s just cars so epic can make money from them. I’ll never go back to playing BR.
All of those were too OP
Tfue probably single handedly got the quad removed since he would be flying across the map with them 24/7
car skins
I swear Fortnite is doing a “how boring can we make our game before people stop playing” challenge
Because if they are Not making money they don’t give a shit about you
money
Nothing “happened”. I don’t know why the Fortnite community is so whiny about literally everything recently.
We just got the Delorean, a vehicle that has a time travel gimmick that lets you collect vaulted weapons.
Literally mere weeks before that, they changed the reboot van into a vehicle which has changed team modes a lot. (The ATK was also unvaulted)
The season before that, we got the rolly polly bug, which in my opinion is one of the best vehicles we’ve ever seen. (We also got the OXR choppa but that was admittedly a reskin)
A few seasons before that we had 2 Star Wars vehicles added to the game.
The season before that saw the addition of the armored van.
And then in chapter 5 we saw the literal entire season of wrecked and the suv. (Drift boards and dirt bikes also returned in this chapter)
Do any of you guys actually play the game or do you just post about it on Reddit and have zero clue about anything recent ??
Being fair to op, I think they're talking about some of the wackier vehicles they've had in the past like the ones in the image. Stuff that you've mentioned like the armored van and atk really aren't the super crazy vehicles they're asking about because they're pretty much just normal cars.
I mean sure but i also mentioned the rolly polly bug, the 2 Star Wars vehicles, the moving reboot van, the entire wrecked season..
Also vehicles being a staple of new seasons has kind of just been replaced by seasonal movement items in modern Fortnite.
This subreddit is miserable. Like I understand voicing your concerns over changes to Winterfest or the pricing model of sidekicks, but the whining has gotten out of hand to the point where people have created new subreddits
The mods (if they exist) really need to step up and start removing negative posts
I miss the brute my friends. I miss it a lot. I’ll be back.
Why did they remove it from creative
There were various glitches you could perform back in Chapter 2, like one where you could glitch out your own map and use the Creative Mode Phone to reach other islands and delete shit. They probably just didn’t think keeping it was worth it and decided to vault it instead, it’s infamously hated to and barely anyone has noticed its disappearance since.
I believe I read something about them switching how you spawn it in like getting rid of the trap spawners and they just didn't make a new brute spawner.
with how whiny some players are, i doubt we'll ever see mechs again unless they nerf them to hell like they did a few years ago when they returned. 🙂↕️
To be fair, when they first released them, they were hella OP. If I got in a mech early game, I had a 90% chance at the dub. Was just basically a cheat code until they nerfed it.
Just had to avoid multi team engagements, as it became the unspoken rule that everyone stops fighting each other and targets the mech.
Sweats don’t like dynamic gameplay elements because it reduces the efficiency of their formulaic gameplay.
Wasn’t there just a challenge involving the Quadcrasher? I never found one in game, and it think the challenge disappeared.
Yeah don’t know what was wrong with OG season 6 but in season 7 they fixed the quad crashers
We used to ride around in the balls just to annoy people. We would roll through fights, lock onto vehicles, etc
Those Two Top ones are on OG Right Now!
We NEED a new vehicle, having the same two for over a year, nearly two, is getting really tiring, the delereon is just a modified whiplash, same as Homer's car from the Simpsons season
Hamster ball in chapter 3 was goated. Miss it every day. So much fun
Esports
almost all are op
Why when we have players running two stacks of impulse grenades that runs away every push
Pro players and hardcore players don’t like fun things
I miss the quads so much. I would destroy entire POI’s turbo boosting through the buildings.
Epic wants money.
Same reason why the bear and the mudflap and the gg-2020 don't come back. Epic is probably gonna sell skins for them at some point :p
The ranked players complained enough in C5S3 to make Fortnite worry about their profits, so they listened to the ranked players and the game isn't fun anymore
Fortnite lost its soul.
They want money from vehicle skin sales, anger/complaints from the player base, and now that Fortnite has been around for years they’re aware of what the community responds to negatively and won’t often add a game changing vehicle like back in chapter 1, since that’s when they were still widely experimenting with things.
The DeLorean time machine is pretty interesting
Kinda wish they added the motorcycles back into the seasons at some point, like they could add skins for it easily like most of the bike emotes like the light cycles from the Tron Ares mini collab they had as skins for them (yes I know some of them handled like hot garbage but considering it needs to be somewhat profitable I think motorcycles would be the way to go considering the many motorcycle related emotes and textures they already have from current or new collabs.)
Comp sweats complained + epic wanted to monetize cars
People complained so they got vaulted
I loved the bubble pod
Too much complaining and sometimes, depending on the season's mechanics/physics, certain vehicles don't work well.
You can thank car sloppa for that. WHIPLASH AND TRAILSMASHER UNTIL THE END OF TIME!!! GOTTA GET THAT HECCIN ROCKET LEAGUE COMPATABILITY!!! (1.8k players btw)
Well, the last time they did anything interesting regarding vehicles was in Wrecked... And we all know how controversial that season was.
We don’t talk about the mech
sweats cried, plus car skins exist
we need a motorcyle back; and aeroplane in this mode
Too much effort, and they cant hawk their cross promo rocket league bullshit with it.
I believe Comp players got pissy, and that's why there hasn't been a new vehicle in ages that wasn't loosely tied to reality/more utilitarian than fun
Agreed 💯
Gone, reduced to atoms
Epic add back the Air BR mode it was so fun dogfighting people in planes.
Forgot the ATK. That was the OG. Hamster ball was cool.
Competitive and Streamers crying is what...
They balance the WHOLE of BR around Comp
Same thing that happens to everything interesting. It gets removed.
Will the mech return
It shouldve been only the shopping cart and go cart
Damn that robot was a real s.o.b when it first came about. Loved roaming in those. The globe grappler things were awesome too. Swing up to Polar Peak do a full loop and swing off. Fortnite used to be so fun
Money
Too many sweats and cheaters complaining probably. It's not fair to them unless your standing still or your head is fully visible for aimbot headshots.
They’re not as marketable because you can’t sell skins for them. The motivation was money.
Streamers/competitive players complained about them being too strong, so epic either nerfed or got rid of them.
Whined about out of existence.
crybaby streamers crying as usual
