A new viral video shows that many of Fortnite<\/em>\u2019s premium cars\u2014which can only be unlocked by purchasing them with V-Bucks<\/a><\/span>\u2014are safer to drive around in compared to the free models in the game. This is proving to be a problem in Fortnite<\/em>\u2019s newest car-focused season, and it seemingly goes against Epic\u2019s policy of cosmetics not offering any in-game advantages<\/a><\/span>. <\/p>\n

The Open World Racing Game That’s Been Gone For A Decade Is Coming Back<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

On May 24, Fortnite <\/em>Chapter 5 Season 3 launched<\/a><\/span> and added a new Mad Max<\/em>-like wasteland to the game\u2019s map as well as new skins, weapons, and a bunch of car combat-focused changes. These specific automobile changes have proved controversial online, as some players and pros argue that cars are too powerful and have turned the online third-person shooter into something completely different than before. In response, Epic has already nerfed and tweaked<\/a><\/span> some parts of Season 3 to seemingly address car complaints. However, players have discovered that the very car they are driving might be getting them killed more often.<\/p>\n

On June 1, TikTok content creator and streamer Nickeh30 uploaded a video demonstrating<\/a><\/span> that many of the so-called \u201cfree\u201d car skins in Fortnite <\/em>are less safe to use than others which can be purchased. These free cars are included in the game at no cost to players, or can be unlocked for free without spending any money. The relevant detail is that these free cars tend to feature large windshields, making it much easier to shoot the driver inside the car. <\/p>\n

Meanwhile, most premium cars\u2014some of them based on real-life vehicles\u2014have smaller windshields. As a result, it\u2019s much, much harder to shoot players in these cars. <\/p>\n
