Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 3: Wrecked New Items and Features

Fortnite: Wrecked brings back vehicle modes and introduces several new items and weapons that align with the season’s theme. These new additions shift the focus of the season towards chaotic car battles rather than gunfights, resulting in some wild moments. Here are all the significant additions in Fortnite: Wrecked.

Medallion Powers (The Machinist) – You can defeat special bosses across the map to gain their medallions. Each boss offers a unique Medallion that comes with a special perk when equipped. If you defeat The Machinist and equip her Medallion, your shield will be regenerated over time. She also drops a Mythic weapon called The Machinist’s Combat Assault Rifle.
Ringmaster Scarr’s Medallion Powers – Defeating Ringmaster Scarr and equipping her Medallion grants infinite ammunition and a slight damage increase. Additionally, this boss drops the powerful Mythic weapon known as the Ringmaster’s Boom Bolt.
Megalo Don’s Medallion grants you infinite Nitro upon defeating the boss and equipping it. Additionally, Megalo Don also drops the powerful Mythic Weapon known as Megalo Don’s Nitro Fists.

Nitro Splash and Nitro Barrels are two new items that players can use to enhance their vehicles or themselves. Nitro Splash is a portable container of Nitro that can be thrown onto vehicles or used by players to give them a boost. On the other hand, Nitro Barrels are containers that can be broken to apply the Nitro buff on contact. This buff can increase the speed of vehicles, decrease fuel consumption, improve attached attack modifications, and give them explosive ramming power if they reach the right momentum before impact. For players, the Nitro buff increases movement and reload speed, reduces stamina consumption, grants immunity to fall damage, and provides an explosive bashing power that can damage enemies, knock them back, and destroy structures
Nitro Fists are gauntlets that have recently been added as a new weapon for players to obtain. These powerful gauntlets allow players to unleash a three-punch combo, uppercut, and aerial punch to take down enemies. The Nitro Fists have a total of four charges and each charge will regenerate every eight seconds.
Repair Torches are items that players can obtain to restore their car’s health when it is low.
Service Stations now replace gas pumps, so players can simply park their vehicle on the designated pad to refill its gas and restore its health.
Nuka-Cola is a recently introduced item that can be found throughout the map. It provides a small boost to both health and shield.
Healing Cacti – When struck, a Slurp Cacti will release healing fruits that can restore the health of both you and your vehicle.

Vehicle Mod Boxes can be found throughout the map and can be used to acquire modifications for vehicles. The list below includes both new and returning car mods.
Players can equip their vehicles with a roof modification that allows their teammates to operate a mounted machine gun while the driver focuses on steering.
Players have the option to add a roof mod to their vehicles, known as the Grenade Launcher Turret, which enables them to launch grenades and take out their enemies.
Modification for Vehicles (Spiked Bumper) – This front bumper mod allows players to cause greater damage upon impact to other players or objects when attached to their vehicle.
The Cow Catcher vehicle modification allows players to enhance their vehicle’s ramming capabilities and defensive capabilities by attaching it to the front bumper.
The tire mod known as “Bulletproof Tires”allows players to enhance their vehicle’s wheels, making them impervious to damage.
