This indicates that all the gas stations situated across the map will have a major role in the battle royale. And while players can refill the gas at Fortnite Gas Stations, the vehicles will also spawn at these locations. A few leaks have also suggested that cars, trucks and taxis will all have an equal spawn rate of 35%.
