The Lockjaw is a Vehicle in Fortnite: Battle Royale. It was introduced in Chapter 5: Season 3 through Car Vaults at Nitrodrome and Redline Rig, and patrolling around the Island. It is prefixed with mods and cannot be Modded.
Functionality[]
The Lockjaw is a 4 wheeled, high-speed car with 2 seats, 2 windows and a windshield. It is fueled with Nitro, granting it infinite fuel.
It features a quick drifting allowing it to perform rapid 360s. Its high acceleration can be combined with its fuel boost; when activated, the Lockjaw can surpass its standard speed limit.
The vehicle spawns with 1,330 HP (Solo only). Once its health bar has been emptied, it will enter the vehicle death state and explode after a few seconds (or instantly, if damaged during the death state), leaving a wreckage prop and starting a Fire. It can be healed via Campfire, Slurp Cactus, Service Station or by using a Repair Torch.
It has access to a honk and Radio Stations.
Obtained[]
As of Update v30.00, the Lockjaw can be found in both stationary locations and around the Island, depending on where The Machinist spawned. Ringmaster Scarr's Lockjaw will always spawn at Nitrodrome's Car Vault. A Medallion is required to access the car if it has spawned inside the vault.
Variants[]
The Lockjaw has two variations, in which the differences are purely visual:
