about 3 years ago - /u/TheFortniteTeam - Direct link

More changes have arrived to keep you thriving in the wild in Season 6! Here are changes we just released:

Two favorites return! Unvaulted the Tactical Shotgun and Infantry Rifle 🎊
Doubled the chances of Crafting Parts in floor loot (again!) 🔨
Increased Mechanical Parts available from cars by 50% 🚗
Improved weapon loot chances for fishing spots, Supply Drops, and Bunker Chests — favoring Classic ("Legacy") weapons 🎣

Try out the Tactical Shotgun and Infantry Rifle in this current Season, experience the balance changes, then let us know what you think. We're always listening to your feedback!

Thank you.

Are the tactical and infantry permanent or is this like last season where we had a different unvault every week?

Sorry if this is a stupid question

I appreciate the question! These weapons are currently planned to remain unvaulted for the time being.

Hey epic i’m not sure if you guys have noticed this but since chapter 2 season 4 car hit boxes have been broken and people can easily get beamed out of them, any plans on changing them?

Hey, u/XADkodo2364. Thanks for the post. Would you happen to have or know any video examples for us to take a look at?

There are a lot of streamers in competitive/pubs that get beamed from the cars, i’m not sure if that’s a good example or not, but do you want me to provide a video and tag you guys in it?

Feel free to do that! That would be helpful.

As an update, I can confirm we're investigating this issue. However, still feel free to pass along any videos you record or find.
