Cars in Fortnite: Where to find one?
Ever since the discovery of cars in Fortnite, players have been ecstatic about getting their hands on these items. However, a tweet from popular Data leaker, iFireMonkey, clarified that these gas guzzlers are yet to be added to the game.
Once the water level drops to a level where roads are accessible, players will be able to drive around the Fortnite map.
Fortnite Season 3 guns: All additions
Since it's best to start off with the worst, Fortnite has now vaulted the Pump Shotgun, and replaced it with another breed of shotties.
The new shotgun is being dubbed as 'Charge Shotgun', which is available from common to mythic rarity. Contrary to the old shottie, these guns can only hold 3 clips at a time, with the exception being mythic weapons, which are still set at 5 clips.
Among other mythic weapons; Jules Glider gun, Ocean's Burst AR and Kit's shockwave launcher have made their way into the game.
A Flare gun was also added, according to popular data leaker, FNInfo.
Whirlpools are now in-game
Tied to the new Chapter 2, Season 3 theme, whirpools now appear at seemingly random locations in the Fortnite map, and can boost players up into the air upon contact.
What has been unvaulted in Fortnite Chapter 2, Season 3?
A blast from the past has players on the edge of their seats, with the Chug Splash, Bolt Action sniper, P90 SMG and a ton of other items unvaulted after the Season 3 update.
Here is a list of all items that have been brought back in Fortnite Season 3:
- P90
