Fortnite's map has been smaller compared to other battle royale titles out there, which eliminated the need for vehicles as players were efficiently moving throughout the map using different mobility items.
However, with each chapter, Fortnite has ventured towards larger maps, which has brought in the need for full-fledged vehicles such as bikes and cars. The first vehicle in Fortnite was the golf cart, which was a slow form of transportation on the OG map.
With future seasons, Epic Games brought in faster vehicles, allowing players to move through the new large maps quickly. The usage of vehicle in Fortnite was limited to making rotations and escaping storm circles. However, to add a twist of creativity recent Fortnite leaks suggest the addition of a new vehicle hijack with an upcoming update.
Epic Games is reportedly adding a vehicle hijack feature in Fortnite
In a recent tweet, reputed Fortnite leaker SpushFNBR shared the news of a vehicle hijack feature coming to the game with an upcoming update.
The vehicle hijack feature will allow players to "steal" vehicles from other players. However, the stealing attempt will fail if there is sudden movements or the vehicle ends up crashing. Moreover, the feature will also include a cooldown before another attempt can be made.
While the vehicle hijack might seem like a normal feature to most players, it will open the door of more creative and risky plays. Other players can now steal cars from players during an intense situation. It will be interesting to see how this new feature affects high ranked lobbies and pro-tournaments.
Although, players are able to enter the vehicle of an opponent while its running, the new steal mechanic might completely kick the operator of the vehicle out. The vehicle hijack feature might arrive with the next season or at a later date. More details on this feature will be revealed soon.
