Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 3 features a Mad Max theme where the island has been converted into a wasteland overrun by bandits with jacked-up vehicles. One of the key features this time around is that vehicles can be modded with unique attachments like gun turrets, bulletproof tires, and more, following the theme of Mad Max. Within hours of the season\u2019s launch, players have discovered the current meta will be cars, as the new moddable attachments can shred the opposition in seconds. Numerous posts flooded the game\u2019s subreddit as players sent their foes back to the lobby with a fury of machine turret bullets. The problem players have encountered is if one can\u2019t find a vehicle, it\u2019s nigh impossible to combat those in them. A series of posts have acknowledged that issue, with players petitioning for the return of key items like the Shield Break EMP and the Goo Gun. While the EMP seems like a great counter, one player argued it would\u2019ve \u201cruined the fun and the entire gimmick.\u201d A fair point given this season centers on vehicular mayhem. Others agreed with the previous that the EMP was tuned way too strong and would render vehicles useless. A popular request by fans has been the reintroduction of the Anvil Rocket Launcher. After being vaulted for a good chunk of time, Chapter 5 Season 1 unvaulted the weapon. Yet it was vaulted once again with Season 2\u2019s debut. With cars currently very strong, Fortnite players are generally confused as to why neither of these items are available. \u201cThey for some reason add the EMP grenades and Anvil Launchers in seasons where they\u2019re not needed.\u201d a player summarized. Chapter 5 Season 3 is still fresh, so it\u2019s possible Epic Games will unleash these options to counter cars in the future. If that\u2019s the case, the developers may face the tough act of balancing vehicles while providing suitable anti-vehicle counters.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fortnite players beg for counters to vehicular terror in Chapter 5 Season 3 Epic GamesCars are dominating Fortnite\u2019s battle royale mode, and players are begging for ways to combat vehicle users.
