Salvaged B.R.U.T.E.

The Salvaged B.R.U.T.E. is a vehicle in Fortnite: Battle Royale. It was introduced in Chapter 2: Season 8.

Functionality
The Salvaged B.R.U.T.E. is a weaker version of the Season X B.R.U.T.E. which also requires two players to operate properly. It has a driver, who controls the movement of the mech, and a gunner who operates the weaponry. The driver is able to move, stomp the ground to deal damage, leap forwards, and dash. The gunner operates a multi missile launcher and a less powerful shotgun compared to the original B.R.U.T.E. Its location is displayed on the minimap.

Using

 * The Salvaged B.R.U.T.E. can be used to destroy builds and easily elimiate enemies in open space with the missiles.
 * Use the shotgun in close ranged combats.
 * In Solo, you can still fully operate the Salvaged B.R.U.T.E. by switching seats.
 * You cannot jump, stomp or boost when the Salvaged B.R.U.T.E. is in water.

Countering

 * The Salvaged B.R.U.T.E. is easier to counter because of its lower maximum HP. Use high DPS weapons such as SMGs or the Sideways Minigun to quickly destroy the Salvaged B.R.U.T.E.
 * In Solo, you can sabotage the Salvaged B.R.U.T.E. by taking an open seat and commanding it to self-destruct.
