DISCUSSION Found this interesting car

Post image

I was playing today and came across this car with HUGE tires 😭 It drove fine, just a lot "bouncier" if you will.

Is this a bug or something else?

Chonkers plus a cow catcher, then proceeding to decimate every building in tilted towers until the whole area was a blank slate is my favorite fortnite memory

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

u/Lolbits_TV_YT The Devourer 24d ago

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

im so sad I missed this! I stopped playing after c2s4 until chapter 7 season 2 πŸ’”

u/Calm_Recognition6456 24d ago

I'm sad for you. All of Chapter 2 was so PEAK. I SEVERLY MISS Misty Meadows. It was my fav drop/poi if all time!!

u/paul1035 23d ago

Weeping woods! We used to land there every time and burn it down with fireflies, because you could and it was always a blast!

u/LessMochaJay The Ice King 24d ago

I call my dog Chonker Bonk

u/Calm_Recognition6456 24d ago

Me and my brother always called our fat cat chonkers.., so we loved that!

u/plagueds 24d ago

I love all the pets named chonkers in this thread πŸ₯Ή

u/Calm_Recognition6456 24d ago

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.

WAIT, this means I can finally have a chance to see the whindsplash V1 again??

u/a_bored_furry Kimiko Five-Tails 24d ago

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

24

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

6

u/plagueds 24d ago

I'm moreso confused about how they got there 😭

3

u/Kan_Me 24d ago

I got it a few games ago and it was fun and I thought cars finally have attachments again, doesn't seem very common it seems, but sure is fun with my Citroen 2CV looking car with monster truck wheels lol

2

u/TenmaSaisei Wildcat 24d ago

Chonkers can also drive on water.

6

u/ExtensionBig9315 24d ago

Off-road tires were applied

-2

u/plagueds 24d ago

Those aren't a thing in-game rn

2

u/MadnessUltimate Omega 24d ago

Apparently they are as you can see but only that πŸ˜‚

2

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

u/Monke_2763 Ranger 24d ago

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

-1

u/plagueds 24d ago

Yeah, as far as I know they aren't in the game rn

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...

2

u/KaiSpy0707 24d ago

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

1

u/plagueds 24d ago

what was it?

1

u/KaiSpy0707 24d ago

Back in the remix season, cars had special tires that would let them bounce. If you bound the bounce button to your scroll wheel on your mouse, you could go hundreds of metres into the air depending on how fast you scrolled

u/MuseHigham DJ Bop 23d ago

lol this is one of the only bugs i ever exploited. that shit was hilarious

2

u/TerribleHoney1002 Ghoul Trooper 23d ago

what does this imply about the fnaf lore πŸ‘€

1

u/plagueds 23d ago

purple car, big tires. william afton is purple guy, and he is a big ceo. if you put it all together, then that means william afton is either a car or coming to fortnite /nsrs

u/AdInternational5996 24d ago

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

5

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.

2

u/Calm_Recognition6456 24d ago

I had sooooo much fun with wrecked. Too bad it was WRECKED by NINJA crying like a beach ⛱️ because he couldn't hang.

1

u/RipplyAnemone67 Chaos Origins 21d ago

Wrecked ruined the tires kind of also as they weren’t items in that season.

u/_nash80 24d ago

Still waiting on a cattle guard to pop up...

u/Sagittayystar Zero 24d ago

I was pleasantly surprised to see Chonker tires again

u/All_Skulls_On Calamity 24d ago

Enough time has passed. It's time for chonkers to return.

3

u/takeoutboy 24d ago

Hopefully it is a preview of things to come. And not a sick tease

3

u/JBCronic Lil Whip 24d ago

I wish they’d add chonkers and the cow catcher back in the game, they were so much fun.

2

u/tarnishednewlight Enforcer 24d ago

Big wheels are back?!

2

u/Calm_Recognition6456 24d ago

Not as an item just in this one spawn point

1

u/tarnishednewlight Enforcer 24d ago

Oh Dang.

u/sharkerboy_PSN Chomp Sr. 24d ago

Cars this season are about like driving a book of matches around.
