Vehicles are a special type of item in Fortnite: Battle Royale. They were first introduced in Season 4
Functionality
Vehicles are designed to transport the player across the map, or alternatively deal damage to opponents. Some vehicles are stationary, and exists solely to deal damage or launch the player, whereas others can be moved across the map. Some vehicles use fuel, which require that they be refueled with a Gas Can or at a Gas Station.

Trivia
- The Shopping Cart previously had the ability to be moved by a player shooting a Minigun from the passenger seat. This was removed at an unknown time.
- A Common or Uncommon daily quest requires players to complete a Quadcrasher race in Party Royale. This is the only instance of the vehicle being mentioned in Chapter 2 beyond the Party Royale game mode.
- The Player can use healing items whilst in the passenger seat of any vehicle, and also the one seat of a Driftboard if not boosting. This allows for items that normally do not allow movement whilst being consumed, to be consumed whilst moving.
- Motorboats lose 1 Hit Point per meter whilst driving on Land.
- There was going to be a Police Car vehicle in the game, but since the Cars were added in late Chapter 2: Season 3, this lined up with real world controversy surrounding police brutality. As such, it was likely Epic Games stopped the inclusion of a Police Car, as well as removed all Police Car props from the map. The old model for the Police Car can still be seen when using a Junk Rift, and the new model can be seen here.
- On inclusion of Radio Stations, Motorboats and Choppas briefly had the functionality to use them. This was removed however.
- Until Chapter 2: Season 5, Motorboats and the X-4 Stormwing did not require fuel to function. However, this may have been planned sooner, as The Fortilla in both instances had a Gas Station built into it, allowing for Motorboats to be refilled.
- When a Car is destroyed, it will produce a burned and destroyed prop similar to the car that was destroyed. This prop will interact with the environment, but shortly disappear. Exploded cars will also produce fire.
- The Pirate Cannon present in Party Royale cannot be driven, only the Cannon seat is functional. This could be because of a bug where the Pirate Cannon would spin more than intended.
- Vehicles can be repaired by parking them near a lit Cozy Campfire or by using a Repair Torch.
