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.
