Summary

  • Fortnite is adding Tesla's Cybertruck to the game tomorrow as a new cosmetic.
  • Fans are already plotting to attack anyone they see using this vehicle, making it perhaps the worst pay-to-lose skin so far.

Fortnite just announced that it will add Elon Musk's infamous Cybertruck to the game tomorrow. Y'know, that weird low-poly car that looks like it was ripped from the background of an old PS2 game?

The Cybertruck is also coming to Rocket League.

It's certainly one of the stranger crossovers, and one that most people are completely baffled by. Fans are calling it everything from the "loser cringemobile" to a "kindergarten kid's drawing", with many saying that they will go out of their way to hunt down the players who use this thing. It might be the worst pay-to-lose cosmetic yet.

It's unclear what it will cost, but the partnership arrives in-game tomorrow. You can see a clip of it in action below.

"Will It Break Down On The Side Of The Road Every Five Minutes?"

As many were quick to point out (even asking if Epic Games would incorporate it as a feature), the Cybertruck rusts and stains notoriously fast. It's also incredibly difficult to clean, so you'll want to keep it out of the rain and away from sand otherwise your new Fortnite Cybertruck will quickly lose its sheen (it won't, but imagine).

As reported by the USDA Forest Service, it's also not very good at off-road handling, so don't deviate too much if you buy this skin. Odds are you'll end up stuck in a forest, open and vulnerable. You'll also want to avoid driving it in the snowy regions of the map as well since the car is known to get trapped in the cold.

And we can't forget the most iconic moment in the Cybertruck's recent history when Elon Musk asked a colleague to try and break the armoured glass at a showcase to highlight how safe and resilient the windows are. But when he threw a metal ball at said window, it shattered. Something tells me it won't be very good at stopping bullets.
