The Nitro Fang is a muscle Car in Fortnite: Battle Royale. It was introduced in Chapter 4: Season 4.
Description[]
The Nitro Fang is a 4 wheeled, high speed car with 4 seats. It spawns with 40-100 fuel in, and can not be found booted. The Nitro Fang much like other vehicles, is best suited for on road driving, but it does not have the worst offroad capabilities compared to other cars. It is tied for the lowest amount of HP.
It has a very sharp handbrake that grants a speed increase if holden for about a second, much like the Nitro Drifter. The boost is originated from four mufflers located on the side bottom of the vehicle (two per side). The boost, unlike the Victory Motors Whiplash's, doesn't actually allow the car to breach its normal speed limit of 72km/h, rather, it brings the car to max speed if handled correctly. This works on all terrain, so it is recommended to use the boost continuously off-road to go faster, being aware the car will obviously be harder to control. The Nitro Fang behaves almost exactly like the Nitro Drifter and its boost gets disabled if it loses a tire, just like with the Nitro Drifter.
The Nitro Fang is strongly affected by mud and it's as fast as an unboosting Whiplash, while having two extra seats.
Like all cars it can be upgraded with Off-Road Tires and Cow Catchers and has access to Radio Stations and a honk.
