Vehicles have become a staple of Fortnite, and The Island wouldn\u2019t be the same without them. Whether you want to cruise the roads in a car, take to the waters in a motorboat, or even zoom around the skies in a plane, you can do that (unless they get vaulted, that is). But while they may be fun to ride, they\u2019re not necessarily going to help you win; there\u2019s no respawning in Fortnite\u2019s battle royale mode, so driving a noisy vehicle that will get the attention of all your opponents isn\u2019t always the best idea. Despite this, vehicles often feature in the game\u2019s challenges, which are essential to earn that all-important XP to help level up the Battle Pass \u2013 and it\u2019s something players are getting frustrated with. Most recently, the Season 5 Week 7 legendary challenge requires players to \u2018Damage Opponents in Vehicles\u2019, with quite a few tiers to tick off. Completing this challenge in full requires a total of 2,500 damage to opponents in vehicles, which is no easy task.

As a result, you have 100 players waiting to damage vehicles, and no one actually driving them. Besides this frustration, other players have argued that there aren\u2019t enough vehicles located around the map to be able to complete the challenge in the first place, and to make matters worse, there are no vehicle-based LTMs to get easy damage in either. \u201cJust this challenge existing means people are not going to drive vehicles as much because everyone is going to be waiting for someone else to get in a vehicle so that they can shoot them,\u201d wrote one player. Another added: \u201cI thought the mission was to deal damage WHILE riding in a vehicle. But since it\u2019s to deal damage TO people in a vehicle, I\u2019m thinking \u2018Who the hell would make themselves a target like that?&#8217;\u201d A third pointed out that many vehicles are riddled with bugs and glitches, which makes having to use them even more frustrating: \u201cNo one\u2019s riding in them unless they have to because they\u2019re really buggy currently.\u201d Whether Epic will take heed of these concerns remains to be seen, although it seems unlikely right now. They did recently promise to \u2018look into\u2019 claims that the customizable superhero skin was \u201cunfair\u201d and effectively \u201cpay-to-win\u201d as it allowed players to hide at night, so they are definitely listening when needed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Why Fortnite players want \u201ctrash\u201d vehicle challenges removed Epic GamesFortnite players are getting frustrated with vehicle challenges, with some of them asking Epic Games to remove them from the popular battle royale entirely \u2013 here\u2019s why.
