Hey, I would very much like if the “figment” B.R.U.T.E from Chapter 1 Season X that released today in September 3rd could get added to creative as I feel it was a very unique vehicle (from when I used it in playground in Chapter 1 Season X and feel that it would be an excellent addition to creative as a result of its very special functionality) but console players have no access to UEFN so to build their own B.R.U.T.E and the 70% of the community plays on console
Also Breaking past island barriers today (the thing that scares the Devs) is essentially patched out, and even if someone manages to find a niche desync exploit to slip past, it serves zero purpose.
Server-Side Enforcement (Why it’s practically impossible)
In the early days of Creative 1.0, island boundaries were checked primarily on the player’s client. That’s why vehicles like the B.R.U.T.E., Siege Cannons, or Choppas could force a character model through the collision barrier before the server registered the movement. Today, collision and position checks are enforced server-side with hard death/teleport zones.
Why It’s Pointless Now
Even if someone forces a desync or collision bug to cross the barrier:
No Main Island / Hub Loading: The old trick where crossing the barrier let players fly over to the main Battle Royale island or steal assets from the hub no longer exists. Main islands are hosted on entirely separate server instances now.
Instant De-spawning & Teleportation: Modern server checks immediately force players into a sky-dive/respawn animation or instantly kill their character the moment bounding boxes are breached.
Several Reddit posts about the return of the B.R.U.T.E. to Creative Mode have each received between 150-160 upvotes within a day, showing strong and consistent interest from the community. This feedback highlights how much players would appreciate the B.R.U.T.E.'s reintroduction into Creative Mode. So let epic games development team know about that too
They removed it because there was a glitch that one could use to escape the Creative Island while still keeping flying and weapon spawning creative features. This allowed among other things, copying things betwee 2 separately loaded Creative islands. Many creators used this to set up islands with hacked on weapons not normally found in Creative mode and then share them with others so that others could copy the hacked in weapons to their own Creative islands.
While loading up different creative islands in different portals is no longer a thing, as is the ability to leave boundaries of your creative island in any way, they still would probably want to patch any exploitable glitches out of the Brute before they bring it back.
As they have been working to add new content more than fix old bugs, I doubt we will see the Brute get brought back any time soon. Most likely it will at earliest be brought back for Season X in OG mode. When they do this, they will paych the bugs and that should make it be allowed for use in Creative mode.
The glitch of penetrating the barrier is pointless now , because the Islands are accessible only from discovery. Also the glitch is possible with siege cannon but it’s still in, if you want so, leave a vote here for the mech. Also at this update a lot of files of the mech got modified and updated. Also back in Chapter 2 Season 8 the Salvaged version of the B.R.U.T.E. didn’t have any glitches but it didn’t got added in creative mode. Because the Salvaged and the OG are the same vehicle with twists and different appearance in the files. They just took the original mech and they made some updates
