Fortnite leak reveals Armored Cars coming in Chapter 4 Season 3

Based on information obtained by several Fortnite leakers/data miners, Epic Games is actively working on Armored Cars for Chapter 4 Season 3. It seems that having futuristic vehicles on the island is not enough, and the developers have decided to take things to the next level by adding in some much-needed heavy-duty vehicles.

Based on the information obtained thus far, these Armored Cars will be occupied by special NPCs who can drive them around the island. However, it's also likely that players will be able to take manual control of these vehicles if they so desire. But that's just the tip of the iceberg.

Armored Cars may feature weaponized vehicle mods in Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 3

The first vehicle mod was added to the game in Fortnite Chapter 2 Season 6. Although it was a simple off-road tire, it paved the way for other such mods. Not soon after, Cow Catchers were added to the game. They can be fitted to vehicles to provide an armored front to ram into objects/opponents.

According to theorist FNChiefAko, these Armored Cars may potentially be able to use weaponized vehicle mods. Given that other Battle Royale games, such as Warzone 2, feature weaponized vehicles, this would make perfect sense. This lines up well with the fact that the files related to turrets were recently updated.

Considering that there are other weaponized vehicles in-game such as Titan Tank, Armored Bus, and the two BRUTES, this is not too surprising. The only difference here is that players may be able to actively decide whether or not they want a weapon on the Armored Cars. Since mods affect how vehicles work, in certain situations, not having a turret attached to a vehicle makes sense.

How will the Armored Car function?

Going by the naming scheme would suggest that the vehicle has extra hit points. This would make it harder for it to be destroyed by regular bullets. It could also be an indication that the vehicle's occupants will sustain no damage from incoming bullets slamming against the glass.

Since Armored Cars will also be driven by Fortnite NPCs, Epic Games will likely introduce an in-game transport system of some sort. Players will be able to enter the vehicle and command the NPC to drive to the destination for a small fee or perhaps hire the NPC to do the same.

Given that this leak is still in its infancy, there's no telling for certain what the developers have planned. More information about this should start to surface towards the end of Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 2.
