Fortnite: In-game food trucks could be the perfect replacements for vending machines

Fortnite players often find themselves in dire straights after a battle if they’re heavily damaged with no heals, so one fan thought of a way to order up some health using some features already in the game.

Epic Games included a few restaurant chains within their game that added to the game’s loose lore, but a new concept could put those brands to work to serve up some much needed grub for injured players.

In a post, Reddit user Natan33988 outlined his take on food trucks, making them a perfect location for players to heal up at a price.

The idea would simply take the Durr Burger’s trucks already found around the map, and open them up for business.

The mobile eatery would randomly spawn around the map, giving wandering players a rest stop to buy up heals and shields.

According to the poster the menu would consist of two items, the Durr Burger that gives 20 health points and a Durr Sluchy that dishes out 20 shield points, each costing 50 wood a pop.

The idea would open Durr Burger for business, sort of.

The idea was well received by the community, but some were concerned with the low cost of the valuable heals.

“They should cost maybe 150-200, because 50 materials is very little, and 20 shield/health is a lot if you can buy a lot,” one user said.

The idea is a rough concept of a feature that would fit really well into the game, as consumables are already rife throughout the battle royale using the concept to localize and monetize the items.
