We’ve made some movement balance adjustments to Battle Royale: 💥 Shockwave Grenades are now slightly rarer 🚙🏎️ SUVs & Sportscars burn less fuel when boosting 🔧 Vehicle Health reduced in Solos, Duos, and Trios Shockwaves are great for aggressive plays or quick escapes, we're dialing back availability so each use feels like a deliberate choice while giving vehicles more fuel in the tank for trips with the squad.

@FortniteStatus This is the second shockwave nerf in 20 days of the season.
Shockwave can be annoying in BUILD mode, but understand that it is an ESSENTIAL item in ZERO BUILD. You made this nerf based on feedback from BUILD mode and not ZERO BUILD.

@klovex_28 @defeatgrxm @crockwing @FortniteStatus That’s why you have to think about when you use them. Shockwaves were mindless and often times unpunishable unless you went up. Plan a rotation, rotate early, rotate dead side, or rotate when other people are also using the wingsuit and you’ll be less likely to be picked off.
