The insanely popular battle royale game, Fortnite, continues to grow at a rapid rate, with Season 5’s arrival last week bringing a whole host of changes including the introduction of vehicles in the form of all-terrain karts. As with all updates, it’s no surprise to discover that dataminers have been inspecting the backend to see what could be planned for the future.
The latest scoop is via the Fortnite: Battle Royale Leaks Twitter account, which suggests that vehicle customisation - in the form of decorations for karts - might be on the way when Epic Games apparently finishes testing.
Season 5 saw the swamp in the southeast corner of the battle royale map replaced with a desert biome, and the old racetrack updated to handle the all-terrain karts. A number of subtle Mario Kart references have also been added since the update, like blue, yellow and red sparks that appear from vehicles when drifting, so it would be nice to see some customisation options for our little buggies.
Do you think we’ll see customisation or decorations for Fortnite’s vehicles in the near future? Is character skin customisation already enough? Tell us below.

Huh this could be cool depending on how it is implemented. I'm curious how it would work, since every other cosmetic customization affects your own character (minus sprays of course).
With a vehicle that you have to find in the map it seems hard to make it cosmetically different using options in the lobby. Especially since up to 4 players can ride in it. Perhaps the driver's settings would be the preferred settings.
I've heard the idea that the little flag should show a player's currently set banner. I think that'd be cool.
I DON'T LIKE DATAMINES ARTICLES for 2 reasons:
1. Because it spoils intended surprises.
2. Because it encourages hacking, piracy and theft.
ADVICE: Come to an agreement with all other video games sites to stop this kind of articles.
@Cosats Advice: Don’t read the articles.
I don’t like commercials about erecticle dysfunction, so I change the radio station when they come on.
EDIT: Also, the data isn’t hacked or stolen. It’s already present. It’s just like going to your StarCraft folder and seeing the file names of installed things, maybe opening a text file to read elements.
On topic... like @WillTheLion said, the first thoughts of customizing a buggy would be weird, I’m interested in how this would be implemented if true.
This wouldn’t surprise me, if it’s something else that can be monetised I’m sure they’ll find a way to make it work.
@HobbitGamer I’m terribly curious, what is it about the commercials you mentioned that you don’t like? 😅
I agree with @Cosats, given the clickbaity headlines NL uses its not exactly avoidable by choosing not to read the article either.
@HobbitGamer I want my opinion to be heard. Not visiting an article I think it shouldn't exist is a passive reaction. Plus, the datamine headlines reaveal directly things I don't want to read. Thank you. (Oh, and the data is indeed stolen, don't let anyone tell you otherwise.)
All I care about at the moment is the implication of stats and leaderboards. I'd even settle for just leaderboards. It's fun to play and the challenges are a good way to extend the game but a career tab like the other consoles would be fantastic for feeling like some real progress is made each match.
@Cosats Try reaching out to staff in the site suggestion forum, as well. You might have better luck getting in touch to talk about it with staff.
