History
Introduced Patch 4.30
Vaulted Patch 8.00

The Shopping Cart was a vehicle in Battle Royale. Shopping Carts allowed a slow driver, who could move and push the Shopping Cart, and a passenger, which could shoot, build, harvest materials and use emotes. They couldn't crouch, however. Shopping Carts were seemingly hidden around the map, usually in corners, inside buildings, on top of mountains, etc. Just like the majority of objects, their spawn points are variable and therefore, they cannot be always found on the same spot. 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. It was vaulted due to it being extremely useless in the game, and the fact that had some glitches. Another reason it was vaulted in Season 8 was because of the addition of Cannons, which were very similar in function.

Strategies[]

  • Shopping Carts can be used to travel around the map, run away from the storm or as an attack vehicle with a second player against a target.
  • Shopping Carts can provide some sort of protection when going downhill, but long jumps may cause lethal fall damage.
  • Shopping Carts are quite strong on collisions, but not very strong against weapons.

Trivia[]

  • The Shopping Cart is currently the only way for players to reach the lobby island after the match has begun.[3]
  • Shopping Carts can have negative health. This is most noticeable when destroying it with an automatic weapon, such as an SMG or Assault Rifle.
  • This vehicle is the most broken and glitched vehicle in fortnite history, and in only 13 days of it being initially added in, they had to disable it.
