Fortnite's secret update has made cars a lot more dangerous than before and could make them more viable for teams.
Fortnite v18.20 update brings many major bug fixes. It also became possible to stand on cars, even when they are in motion.
It may not be the most revolutionary change in battle royale, but this patch could greatly improve vehicle viability in Fortnite.
Traditionally, cars in Fortnite have been huge, clumsy targets that make noise and serve as big targets for other players. Unlike Apex Legends and Warzone, the machine has little to offer in terms of offense.

However, the 18.20 update gave the Fortnite community a whole new way to use cars. An undocumented change made it so that people could stand on the roof of a car or on its hood and stay in place while driving.
For squads of more than two, this will also allow everyone to lean on the vehicle, instead of leaving the unfortunate few behind.
More importantly, those at the top can still keep their weapons at the ready, opening up new offensive vehicle opportunities like never before.
This works for most vehicles, but the secret update will work best on pickup trucks.
Changes to Fortnite vehicles could also make a difference in reviving teammates. Warzone players already know how vehicles can facilitate escape, and the same can be said for Epic's battle royale.
With Fortnite players no longer sliding off cars, it will be interesting to see if players start evacuating downed players away from the fights to heal them safely and bring them back to the fighting team.
