Yes, another Fortnite post. I've been thinking of a lot of things that could be added to the great game that is Fortnite: Battle Royale. From vehicles to weapons to items, the possibilities are almost endless. What hasn't been added to the game yet that could be? Any Epic Games employees that on the off chance may read this: Please consider these! Thanks!
Vehicles
Hovercrafts - With the addition of Slurpy Swamp, Hovercrafts would be perfect for that area. They'd be perfect over any water area, but would work well on land too. They could be in addition to or replace boats. They could hopefully seat an entire squad if need be.
Jet Ski's - Again, with water vehicles, you might think of Jet Ski's. These could seat two players. The driver would be allowed to shoot but only when not on the gas (Similar to with swimming, you can only shoot when stationary). What would be cool is to have a player with a grappler be able to water ski behind the jet ski. They could also implement this with boats.
Snow Mobiles - Next Christmas season when the map undoubtedly gets blanketed with an entire layer of snow, that would be a great time to introduce Snow Mobiles. They would work just like Jet Ski's, but on land. And they would go faster over snow terrains than anything else.
Motorcycles - Another two-person vehicle idea is a motorcycle. These would work like snow mobiles but be a bit faster and get more air off jumps. I would love to see another vehicle in the game capable of getting serious airtime, and players could try to set high scores with stunts. As for the appearance of the Fortnite motorcycle, I was thinking something like the motorcycle from the game "The Operative: No One Lives Forever", as seen here.
Items/Weapons
Bear Traps - This would be a seriously devilish item. You would place them down and, knowing some smart players, they could probably disguise them pretty well. Then, if an enemy player steps over it, they get caught. This item drains their health (not shield) 50 HP over 5 seconds (10 HP a second), and traps them in that time as well. But after that five seconds, they get to free themselves. But if they step in another, which there very well could be right in front of you, the same thing happens (which would then kill them unless they healed in between). This could really hurt a player's chances, especially if they step in one in the storm. One cool thing they could possibly implement is if you're able to spot it before stepping in it, you can pick it up and set it yourself.
Shuriken/Throwing Stars - Just Google an image of Shuriken if you don't know what they look like. You could carry maybe a stack of ten. Imagine throwing five of these in a manner of 3 seconds and taking perhaps close to 100 HP off of your opponent. If they ever have a ninja themed season, this is a must. It would also be cool to be able to reclaim any Shuriken/Throwing Stars if they miss an enemy.
Bear Bombs: This could be changed a bit, but my idea is a stuffed teddy bear that you can set up. It looks a lot like the other stuffed teddy bears in the game, with some subtle differences. If an enemy gets too close, it explodes and does a ton of damage. This could be something else in disguise, but imagine setting one of these up in a crowded POI. In order for this to not be too overpowered, it could start beeping like a bomb a few seconds before it goes off.
Targeting Beacon - I don't have the best name for it, but this item would be a one time use (or 2-3) and would tell you for a few seconds where all of the enemies are. They would display as red outlines and/or be displayed as red dots on the map. This may be an item only included in Team Rumble or 50 vs 50 (if that ever comes back).
Edit: They introduced a flare gun, which pretty much is how I described my "targeting beacon". There's one thing they included!
Portable Slurp Showers: This isn't my idea, as I saw it on Reddit a while back. Basically, it's the Slurp version of campfires. They would get stored in the spot where traps go, and you could set one up anywhere and it would slowly heal your health/shield, just like standing in Slurpy Swamp does. They would last for 100HP probably, and steam would rise from it, just like smoke rises from campfires. Alternatively, this could be called "Shield Showers" and work the same way, but only for shield.
Shield Kegs were added in Chapter 3, and it's fairly close to what I described. They don't go in the trap slot and don't have to be placed on a build, but they do incrementally heal your shield just like a campfire does for health.
Portable Zip Lines: This may not be possible to implement, but imagine pointing at a spot on a mountain and the end of a zip line gets shot there, and from where you are standing, you're able to use the zip line to go up the mountain without having to use any materials. You might say this sounds like a grappler, but this would have a much further range, could only be used once, and could be used by enemy players unless you destroyed it. Basically, it would be you, the player, setting up a zipline, and possibly allowing other players to use it. If either end of this portable zip line was on a build that got destroyed, the devs could decide if either the zip line gets destroyed, or it just falls down.
Other
Gold Material - I thought with all of the gold teasers for Chapter 2, Season 2 that Fortnite might be introducing a fourth material, gold. Muselk even did a video on using only materials from gold items, thinking the same thing. I think it would be cool if Epic added a fourth material even stronger than metal, and gold would be a good option. Diamond would be another option if they wanted to go that route. But this fourth material would be even harder to find than metal, and its builds would be even stronger than metal. To see a player spamming gold builds would just make anyone's jaw drop.
That's all I have for now, but if I think of anything else I will be sure to add it here.
