“Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 3: Hit and Run”: Community divided on opinion regarding vehicle mods

With the launch of Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 3, Epic Games has introduced a long list of new changes that have completely transformed the game's landscape, both in its topography and in-game mechanics, with Vehicle Mods and car warfare playing a huge role this season. While the introduction of these new vehicle attachments is undoubtedly exciting, some players are unsure how to feel about the role Vehicle Mods are playing in Chapter 5 Season 3.

This was highlighted in a recent Reddit clip shared by u/Deroullious, where the player can be seen in a solo Chapter 5 Season 3 match, driving The Machinist's Lockjaw, acquired by defeating The Machinist and obtaining her Medallion. They did so by using the Vehicle Mods that come with it to eliminate three enemies in a row with ease.

Other members of the community also chimed in to give their takes on Vehicle Mods and their role in Chapter 5 Season 3, with Reddit user u/Atomic-Golem expressing confusion at what the developers were thinking when integrating such overpowered mechanics into the game.

Meanwhile, players like Reddit users u/EcnavMC2 and u/BenneB23 pointed out how the enemies that the player killed were bots and how the players would not have been able to eliminate them so easily with their vehicles if they were real players. To this, Reddit user u/Clear-Ad3193 expressed how even though the enemies are bots, The Machinist's Lockjaw needs some balancing.

Reddit users u/AndrijKuz and u/darthyogi, on the other hand, could not help but find the fun in the new vehicle mod meta, emphasizing how Chapter 5 Season 3's themes revolve around vehicles so it makes sense for them to be as powerful as they are.
