Vehicle Mods are back for Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 3, and in a big way. In addition to two existing mods that have been unvaulted for the new Season, there are a whole host of brand-new ones that have been added for Epic Games’ vehicular extravaganza.

We’ve put together a list of every Vehicle Mod that’s been added to the game for this Season so you know what to look out for. And if you want to get your hands on them, we’ll take you through how to do that too.

Fortnite Vehicle Mods

In the latest Season of Fortnite, there are a total of six Vehicle Mods you can attach to your cars to make good use of the major buffs to cars that have been introduced.. This includes two unvaulted mods – Cow Catchers and Chonkers Off-Road Tires – as well as four completely new ones.

Here are all of the Vehicle Mods in Chapter 5 Season 3 and what they do:

Vehicle ModPositionWhat it does
Cow CatcherFront bumperIncreases ramming power and provides small armour bonus
Spiked BumperFront bumperIncreases damage dealt to players and objects when ramming
Chonkers Off-Road TiresTiresMakes it easier to drive your car off-road
Bulletproof TiresTiresMakes your car’s tires indestructible
Grenade Launcher TurretRoofAdds a grenade launcher that players in the passenger seat can fire
Machine Gun TurretRoofAdds a machine gun that players in the passenger seat can fire

As well as all of these Mods, you can repair your car to full health by running into a Repair Box, or by finding a Repair Torch and using it on your car yourself. You can also head to a Service Station to refuel your car and restore it to full health that way. Lastly, be sure to make good use of Nitro to give your car a massive boost and make it even more powerful than before.

Best Vehicle Mods in Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 3

Right now, the best mods you can get in Fortnite are:

  • Bulletproof Tires
  • Grenade Launcher Turret
  • Spiked Bumper

Bulletproof Tires are an easy choice – being indestructible is simply a better buff than slightly better off-road driving. The extra armour from the Cow Catcher is nice, but with how good vehicles are offensively in the current build, you’ll want to prioritise the extra damage of the Spiked Bumper. Lastly, the weapon you use is up to personal choice, but the explosive AoE damage of the Grenade Launcher beats out the Machine Gun for us.

How to mod vehicles in Fortnite

Getting Vehicle Mods is incredibly simple. Once you have a car, all you need to do is drive into a Vehicle Mod Box with your car to instantly attach the mod to your vehicle. These Mod Boxes can be found across the map, and have icons on the side to show you which specific Mod is inside.

Say you have a Grenade Launcher Turret attached to your car but want to swap it out for a Machine Gun Turret. No problem, simply drive into the Mod Box as you normally would and you’ll have that new Mod attached just like that.
