This hotfix impacts the way players interact with vehicle mods and weapons in the season. Nerfing damage from the turrets makes it difficult for players to eliminate opponents using vehicles easily.

The change in damage rates to the Tactical Assault rifle and Harbinger SMG make it a prime choice for players to use it to take down opponents with ease and claim their way to a Victory Royale and level up their Battle Pass. Increased Nitro stacks and infinite stamina make it seamless for players to sprint away from a sticky situation. This essentially makes evasion easier and eliminates opponents by chasing them harder.
