The leak states that Mechs will be making a return to the game by the end of Chapter 1. While this news is not confirmed, many players have begun expressing their concerns about the potential return of the broken feature.

B.R.U.T.E was introduced years ago in season 10. And even back then, players were concerned that the vehicle was overpowered. With 1000 HP, a protective shield and the ability to launch 10 missiles at a time, it didn’t go down well with players. Back in 2019, Fortnite streamer CouRage tweeted, “I love you guys…I really do BUT whoever decided to add ten Optimus Primes to the map every game in Season X needs to be put in timeout.”

Although it is evident that mechs change how players play Fortnite by letting them go to town with weaponry, some are excited to see the feature make a return. On one hand, players are unhappy about the return of the B.R.U.T.E. On the other, some are happy that they will get to experience a piece of Fortnite history one more time.
