Fortnite BRUTE Changes: Epic Games Lowers Spawn Rate
By Nathan Fusco

Fortnite BRUTE changes arrived on Saturday when Epic Games released an update to the game. It focused on the spawn rates of the B.R.U.T.E.
Many in the community and especially the competitive community dislike the addition of the giant robots as they give an unfair advantage to many players.
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.

Fortnite BRUTE Changes: Epic Games Lowers Spawn Rate
For now, Epic Games plans to simply change the spawn rate of the mech for each consecutive circle.
Beginning of Match
- 21.5% chance that between 1-3 B.R.U.T.Es will spawn
Storm 1
- 44% chance that between 1-4 B.R.U.T.Es will spawn
Storm 2
- 40% chance that between 1-2 B.R.U.T.Es will spawn
Storm 3
- 40% chance that between 1-2 B.R.U.T.Es will spawn
Storm 4
- 10% chance that 1 B.R.U.T.E will spawn
Storm 5
- 3% chance that 1 B.R.U.T.E will spawn
While this is a step in the right direction, the mechs are overpowered and ruin the balance of the game and one can only imagine the stress it's putting on professional players.
Hopefully, Epic Games creates a playlist allowing people to play with a B.R.U.T.E. and allows everyone else to play the game in a normal manner.
