Season 10 of Fortnite kicked off a couple of weeks ago, and since then one of its major new additions has been giving the player base plenty of frustration and anger. The new B.R.U.T.E. mech--a two-player vehicle that lets one person take control as a driver and puts the other in charge of its astonishingly effective firepower--has been causing plenty of grief due to its overpowered nature. Now, Epic is finally doing something about the frequent complaints, although the changes won`t apply to all of Battle Royale, at least at this point.Armed with rockets, a shotgun, and 1,000 health--roughly five times the maximum health and shield of other players--this new mech has an innate ability to reduce a regular player`s health from 200 hit points to zero in a matter of seconds, with little to no opposition. Walls offer minuscule defence against the mech`s powerful rockets, and its ability to rapidly close the distance on players makes it particularly deadly considering season 10 removed a lot of Fortnite`s mobility options. It`s damning that the winner of Fortnite`s recent solo World Cup can be instantly killed with almost no effort.Fortunately, Epic has begun toning down the frequency of mechs in the competitive Arena and Tournament playlists.In a post on Reddit, Epic detailed how it`s altering the regularity with which mechs will now appear.`We`ve lowered the spawn rates of the B.R.U.T.E. per Storm circle in Arena and Tournament playlists. We will continue to monitor the impact of this change in advance of next weekend`s Champion Series event.Beginning of Match21.5% chance that between 1-3 B.R.U.T.Es will spawnPreviously was 100% chance that between 2-4 B.R.U.T.Es would spawnStorm 144% chance that between 1-4 B.R.U.T.Es will spawnPreviously was 100% chance that between 2-4 B.R.U.T.Es would spawnStorm 240% chance that between 1-2 B.R.U.T.Es will spawnPreviously was 100% chance that between 1-3 B.R.U.T.Es would spawnStorm 340% chance that between 1-2 B.R.U.T.Es will s ...
