The new B.R.U.T.E. mech addition to popular shooter Fortnite has seen a lot of criticism from players since its release recently with many asking for the mechs to be removed from the game completely. The mechs have been said to alter the game an unfair amount and because of that, developer Epic Games has decided to change the spawn of the giant, deadly metal husks.

In a Reddit post by Epic Games, the team stated that the spawn odds of the mechs would be reduced on Arena and Tournament playlists. Check the spawn rates below.
