Tfue discovers Fortnite\u2019s The Baller was secretly buffed in v8.20 update Fortnite pro player Turner \u2018Tfue\u2019 Tenney has discovered that the controversial Baller vehicle received a secret buff in the v8.20 update for the game. Fortnite\u2019s v8.20 update introduced the new Poison Dart Trap alongside a number of balancing changes, including the reversal of elimination rewards which has proved to be unpopular with pro players and streamers. While buffs to The Baller weren\u2019t mentioned in the patch notes, it appears that Epic Games did in fact give the vehicle a boost, as discovered by Tfue during his March 27 stream. While testing out the v8.20 update with FaZe teammate Dennis \u2018Cloak\u2019 Lepore in Creative Mode, the pair quickly realized that traps were no longer dealing damage to the vehicle, which has dominated Fortnite since its introduction. Tfue threw Boogie Bombs at Lepore who was sitting inside the vehicle, with the item having no effect on his FaZe Clan teammate, who was able to continue driving around in the vehicle with no issues. Tenney then built himself and Cloak into a box, and placed down Spike Traps and Poison Dart Traps, with neither activating despite Lepore sitting inside the structure as part of the enemy team. \u201cThis is stupid,\u201d Tenney stated. \u201cBalls got buffed.\u201d The Baller has been an unpopular addition to Fortnite among pro players and a large number of fans. Some believe that the inclusion of the vehicles has ruined the end-game portion of Fortnite matches, as players use the vehicles as protection instead of pushing opponents in an attempt to win the match. It\u2019s currently unclear if these changes were intended by Epic Games, or if they were accidentally improved in the v8.20 update. If these changes were unintended, it\u2019s likely that they will be reverted in the next Fortnite patch.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
