— In-Game Description

Vehicle Mod: Cow Catcher is a Consumable Item in Fortnite: Battle Royale that was added in Chapter 3: Season 2.

Functionality[]

Vehicle Mod: Cow Catchers can be used on Cars to add a Cow Catcher to the front of the Vehicle. This will enable them to deal more damage by ramming opponents and props. The Cow Catcher is also additional armor for the vehicle since it has a separated health bar and will absorb all damage from shots that hit it directly.

If you throw them on the ground, they will create a piece of immovable metal cover. It will take 800 damage from any source before breaking.

Trivia[]

The Armored Battle Bus used to be the only vehicle to spawn with a Vehicle Mod: Cow Catcher, unlike Off-Road Tires which could have been found on any existing car during Chapter 2.
- This is no longer the case since Chapter 3: Season 3, since the Armored Battle Bus didn't spawn with a Cow Catcher anymore.
- Furthermore, Chapter 3: Season 4 marks the first time a regular car can spawn with a Cow Catcher attached.
Players can throw a Shield Keg on a Vehicle Mod: Cow Catcher which enables it to stay connected to a car, even when moving.
