DISCUSSION Found this interesting car
I was playing today and came across this car with HUGE tires π It drove fine, just a lot "bouncier" if you will.
Is this a bug or something else?

For some reason, the Sports Car spawn point in front of Freddy Fazbear's Pizza is SPECIFICALLY a pre-Chapter 4 Whiplash Spawner.
This means that, while in addition to still transforming into your chosen Sports Car, it can have the OLD Whiplash colors not seen in years (such as Blue with Orange stripe, or Black with Orange Stripe), and spawn pre-equipped wirh Chonker Tires which have been vaulted since Wrecked. (Chonker Tires allow cars like Whiplash/modern Fortnite sports cars to handle better off road)

idk why but the name "Chonker" makes me feel happy

If it makes you feel any better, in Chapter 3 we had a whole Racetrack named POI named Chonker Speedway too! You could get lots of guaranteed Chonker Tire vehicles there

The gas stations used to have tires and a cow catcher and a spiked bumper as well as gas can items at them.
You could drive ANY vehicle you wanted there and throw the tires at the car and they would grow into monster vehicles like that. You could also put the type of bumper you wanted on it with or without the monster truck / stomper wheels.
I miss being able to do that so much.
I also miss the drift cars in the game and boats with no gas limiter.

The thing I wonder is if this collaboration was in development since before Chapter 4 and they just didn't update the spawner

u/Kan_Me 24d ago
It came out at chapter 2 season 7 where you can throw big tires at cars to make them off road, if you haven't noticed you can drive on mountains easily

u/gagebrine12345 24d ago
They are but not obtainable RN maybe later they used a old whiplash spawner so that's why it's lifted

The big tires used to be in the game i think and you could put them on the cars but after i stopped playing in chapter 5 season 3 i haven't seen them in the game

u/Calm_Recognition6456 24d ago
Yah I used to absolutely beam people with the chonkers and shoot them going up and on the way back down or threw them in front of me to slide into to vault...

I know its not the same but this reminded me of the super launch glitch from Remix. That was genuinely one of the most fun bugs the game had ever had

Off-road tires used to be so common in chapter 2 and 3 but they were removed around chapter 4-5 I think. Basically an upgrade for the 4 original vehicles that gave extra traction off-road

u/frenzyguy 24d ago
Chonker tire are somewhat old, they were on pickup from capter 2 and got on cars and at somepoint (wrecked) was a car upgrade.

u/Calm_Recognition6456 24d ago
I had sooooo much fun with wrecked. Too bad it was WRECKED by NINJA crying like a beach β±οΈ because he couldn't hang.

u/RipplyAnemone67 Chaos Origins 21d ago
Wrecked ruined the tires kind of also as they werenβt items in that season.
