The B.R.U.T.E. spawn rate has been changed in Arena and Tournament Playlists

Epic Games has released a new post on the official Fortnite Battle Royale subreddit to address community complaints surrounding the new B.R.U.T.E. weapon/vehicle since the launch of Season X.

As of today, the B.R.U.T.E.'s spawn rate has been lowered in Arena and Tournament (competitive) playlists with no changes yet having been made to core modes (Solo, Duos, Squads). While this likely isn't exactly what the players wanted, it's a start, and we expect to see more change as the season goes on.

Here's the post to explain the changes fully:

"We’ve lowered the spawn rates of the B.R.U.T.E. per Storm circle in Arena and Tournament playlists. We will continue to monitor the impact of this change in advance of next weekend’s Champion Series event.
