Drivable revive vans and self-revive could be coming to Fortnite when it launches Chapter 7, according to new information from a popular leaker. Fortnite is ever-expanding with added content and collaborations, but if these new features are true, it could change the pace of the game moving forward.
The recent collaboration between Fortnite and The Simpsons has been one of the more successful crossover seasons for the game, with old and new players diving into the fictional town of Springfield. The crossover event even has its own animated short on Disney+. And while more collaborations are on the horizon, Epic Games adding new gameplay features to Fortnite could alter how players run their map rotations.
New Gameplay Features Leaked for Fortnite Chapter 7
According to NotPaloLeaks on Twitter, Fortnite Chapter 7 may include drivable reboot vans and self-revive. Reboot vans in Fortnite are used in team modes to allow players to bring their fallen teammates back to life. It gives teams a chance to progress with all their teammates to have a better chance at a Victory Royale. However, the vans are normally spread throughout the map, and players must hope they don’t encounter other teams looking for an easy kill (or other teams headed to the same van). Being able to drive the van around could change the pace of the game, as teams may be able to revive more often.
Self-revive in battle royale games isn’t uncommon, but the feature has been controversial in games like Apex Legends and Call of Duty: Warzone. While there’s no word yet on how the feature will work in Fortnite, in other games, players would need to have a special item to allow for self-revive, and it was normally a slow and painstaking process. More often than not, players would still be killed by the opposing team, but hiding in the right bush or behind a fixture could allow players enough time to get back into the battle.
This is one of many leaks leading into Chapter 7 that Fortnite fans are looking forward to. Additionally, it was recently leaked that a new wave of Stranger Things cosmetics could come to Fortnite, as well as possible collaborations with Harry Potter and SpongeBob SquarePants. For now, players can still drop into the world of Springfield, as The Simpsons crossover event runs through November 29.
