Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 3 Leaks: Vehicle-Hijacking Feature

Please note that the information in this article is based on speculation and leaks. It is NOT officially confirmed.

Epic Games always have updates after updates and it seems like they will not stop soon. Recent leaks suggest Fortnite is gearing up to introduce a brand-new mechanic in the upcoming Chapter 5 Season 3. This highly anticipated feature could shake up gameplay strategies and dynamics on the island. But what is the new feature? This article highlights everything we know about the latest Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 3 leak which is a new vehicle-hijacking feature!

Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 3 Leaks Teased Vehicle-Hijacking Feature

According to reputable leakers SpushFNBR and HYPEX, players will see a "Steal" prompt appear when near a hijackable vehicle. However, the theft attempt will fail if the vehicle crashes or undergoes sudden movements before completion.

Players will also have the option to cancel hijacking attempts midway. Additionally, the leaked details indicate a cooldown period will be implemented, although the exact duration remains unknown.

Importance of Using Vehicles in Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 3

Fortnite's map used to be smaller, so personal vehicles weren't necessary. However, Epic Games has steadily enlarged the island with each new chapter, gradually adding drivable cars, trucks, and other vehicles to help players get around here and there.

However, so far, the vehicles in Fortnite have mainly been used for moving around and escaping the storm circle. But with the rumored hijacking mechanic feature, vehicles could become even more strategically important. This would let bold players take control of an opponent's vehicle during intense battles. It would be so much fun to play.

How Will Vehicle-Hijacking Change Fortnite's Gameplay?

If this leak is coming true, vehicle hijacking could significantly change how Fortnite's higher-skill lobbies and competitive tournaments play out. Cars won't just be for moving around anymore, they'll become valuable assets that players will want to secure or prevent their enemies from getting their hands on.

Right now, players can merely enter a vehicle with someone inside it. But with hijacking, they could forcefully remove the original driver, creating a new risk-reward element. Bold players might try daring heists, while cautious ones will need to watch out for vehicle theft.

As with any leak, we can't confirm the truth of this vehicle-hijacking feature until Epic Games makes an official announcement. However, the idea of bringing something new to the gameplay is exciting, especially for Chapter 5 Season 3, which is rumored to have an apocalyptic or "Mad Max" theme that would fit well with such a feature. Are you excited for it?
