Fortnite Chapter 2, Season 8 is already bringing several classic elements from the previous Fortnite seasons back to the game. While players are excited to see the Renegade Trooper and Tilted Towers come back to the game with Fortnightmare, it seems like B.R.U.T.E. Mech from Season X might also make its return to the game.
The B.R.U.T.E. Mech is a huge bipedal mech that can deal a huge amount of damage. It is controlled by two players where player one controls the movement and player two controls the weaponry. The mech is equipped with a missile launcher that is capable of taking down players with a single shot.
