Fortnite players found a glitch that unlocks access to Mythic Nitro Cars without recovering Medallions from defeated NPC bosses.
The advent ofFortnite Chapter 5 Season 3 introduced Mythic Cars, rare, nitro-powered vehicles that players can only recover after beating certain boss characters.
All three cars sit in locked cages scattered across the new Wasteland region. NPC bosses The Machinist, Megalo Don, and Ringmaster Scarr will drop a Medallion after being defeated. That Medallion then unlocks the cages housing each NPC’s respective ride.
However, crafty Fortnite users have already found a way to easily access the Mythic Cars without possessing a Medallion. Not long afterSeason 3’s launch, TikTok userzeussfvvshared footage of a strange new glitch.
If players walk up to a stored Mythic Car with a gas can in hand, they’re able to “jump and throw the gas can midair while holding [down the] mantle button.” This move mantles the character onto the gas can and phases them into the car’s cage.
From there, the user should hide behind the car, wait for another player to defeat the boss, and then hop in the vehicle once the other person grabs the Medallion and unlocks the cage.
Those interested in trying this should head to one of threeFortnite Mythic Carsas soon as they drop onto the Island.
The Machinist’s Lockjaw ride is locked inside of a Redline Rig garage, Megalo Don’s Behemoth SUV sits in a building near Brutal Beachhead, and a cage beneath the Nitrodrome stows Ringmaster Scarr’s Lockjaw.

However, it’s worth remembering that the Behemoth SUV and Lockjaw have a chance to randomly spawn alongside the Wasteland Warriors convoy. As such, one of these vehicles may travel around the map withSeason 3’s War Bus.
