How to Hijack an Armored Truck in Fortnite
Once the second storm circle closes, three Armored Trucks will spawn on the island. Although the spawn locations will differ from match to match, a white truck icon will appear on your map, allowing you to quickly identify where the Armored Trucks are.
Before you approach an Armored Truck, you have to make sure you have the equipment you need to hijack it. First of all, you need a Thermite to open up the vehicle. Luckily, Thermites are fairly easy to come by, spawning in chests, as floor loot, and even available to purchase from Black Markets using Gold Bars.
To bust open the Armored Truck, you need to plant the Thermite at the back of the vehicle. This will see various enemies jump out and try to defend the Armored Truck. Make sure you’re ready with solid loot to fight them off. Additionally, you can accelerate the time it takes to crack open the vehicle by shooting the glowing vials that appear periodically to deal damage to it.
If you manage to stay alive by the time the Thermite breaks open the rear of the van, you’ll be able to reap the rewards of its contents. Expect to find high tier loot such as epic or higher rarity weapons, gold bars, and a lot of heals. Since the Armored Truck will officially be under your control, you can hop in and drive it around the island, just like you would a regular vehicle.
Of course, if someone is already trying to claim an Armored Truck, you can come along and try to intercept it by eliminating the player. Then, continue the fight against the waves of enemies until the already placed Thermite is done.
Now you know how to hijack an Armored Truck in Fortnite, secure some of the best loot in the game to help you towards a victory royale!
