Shopping carts are, at this point, Fortnite’s only vehicle. You can ride on them solo or with a friend, and they give you a slight speed boost. Simple enough, right? Wrong. Epic has now pulled them temporarily from the game three different times. Today, just when you thought they were in, Epic pulled them back out. Show Here’s a timeline of the carts’ brief existence in Fortnite: May 30—Shopping carts added to Fortnite. People weren’t sure about the idea of vehicles in Fortnite at first, but many players warmed to them quickly. June 11—Shopping carts removed from Fortnite. “Due to an issue caused by Shopping Carts we’ve disabled the ability to use them while we investigate,” wrote Epic on Twitter. June 14—Shopping carts added back into Fortnite. That, it seemed to players, was the end of that. June 16—Shopping carts once again removed from Fortnite, this time due to a different bug that players speculate involved using them to get under the map. “Due to a bug with the Shopping Cart, we’re temporarily disabling it until we have a fix. We’ll update you once the issue is resolved,” Epic said. June 20—Shopping carts added back into Fortnite again. Epic even hyped up their return with a fun user-created video in which a shopping cart—suddenly possessed by a ghost, freewill, physics, or some combination of the three—ran somebody over of its own volition. June 20, two hours later—Shopping carts once again removed from Fortnite, seemingly due to the same under-the-map issue as before. “Due to ongoing issues, we’ll be disabling Shopping Carts again. We’ll update you when this issue is resolved,” said Epic. … June 21, 2076—The remnants of humanity pick over the remains of a civilization many of them never knew, that fewer of them barely remember. A teen finds a phone in the rubble and, through some unknowable force, is compelled to click a blue icon with a white bird on it. Before her wonderment-widened eyes, Twitter springs to life. There is just one entry, dated only a couple minutes earlier. It is from the Fortnite account. After issues earlier that week, shopping carts have been enabled again, it says. The teen does not know why, but for some reason, this gives her hope. Epic Games' hugely popular Fortnite: Battle Royale continues to evolve and change, and now the company has introduced even more big changes. Battle Royale has gotten its first vehicle, the Shopping Cart, which comes as part of the broader 4.3 update, and it's out now on PS4, Xbox One, PC, and mobile. According to Epic, the Shopping Cart allows you to "ride solo or grab a friend to cover you as you roll around the map together." The company says you can shoot from the passenger seat--but presumably not if you're the one pushing the cart. The trolleys are found scattered around the world in various locations, and they can take fall damage. You need a javascript enabled browser to watch videos. Click To Unmute

These can be found in shady wooded or swampy areas, and by consuming them, you'll gain 5 shield. These can take you all the way up to to the maximum of 100. The new update also reintroduces two limited-time modes, Blitz and Teams of 20. Blitz matches play out much quicker than standard Battle Royales, and this time round the mode is even faster. It also includes all the new items and weapons that have been added to Fortnite since Blitz was first seen, such as the Port-a-Fort, Clinger, and LMG. Teams of 20, meanwhile, sees five teams of 20 players each face off against each other. This time round, each team will have their own bus to make dropping together easier, while chests and supply drops will each provide more ammo and consumables than they did before. Save the World, meanwhile, sees its Blockbuster event return with Part 2: A Hero is Born. This second portion of the event will have you reunite with Ray and join the effort to save Spitfire, while new Daily Quests and more have been added.

Is there shopping carts in fortnite?Shopping Carts are scattered accross Fortnite map, and there's no specific location where you are guaranteed to find one every. That being said, your best bet is to look around residential or shopping areas of the map such as Retail Row or Holly Hedges.
When did shopping carts get vaulted?Shopping carts do not have brakes unlike the Quadcrasher or the ATK. The Shopping Cart has been vaulted on Patch 8.00 therefore making it only available through Playground and spawners in Creative.
