Fortnite Players Band Together to Pick on In-Game Tesla Cybertrucks: 'Destroy on Sight'

ign.com:

Tesla’s polygonal Cybertruck has entered Fortnite, and fans… aren’t quite sure how to feel about it.

The vehicle joined Epic Games’ massively popular battle royale video game, as well as its soccer-car project Rocket League, today, July 23. It’s a free reward for those who complete a series of challenges via the Summer Road Trip quest before August 6 and is also a cross-game unlock between both experiences. Completing all challenges nets players a Cybertruck for their garage as well as a Green Day Jam Track, Back Bling, wheels, and a few decals that include a broken window cosmetic.

It's a selection of free rewards that some players are undeniably happy to have, but others are taking the opportunity to poke fun at Tesla’s angular truck, which will no doubt show up on players’ screens in-game. Specifically, many are calling for others to band together and go out of their way to destroy any Cybertruck that comes into view.

“Overpriced,” one Reddit user jokes.

“Cybertruck is gonna give that nostalgic 2020 feel in Cyberpunk when textures weren't loading on my 1080,” another said.

i propose a new fortnite rule: if you see someone in a cybertruck, you are now in a truce with everyone else in the lobby until they’re taken out. this repeats as many times as necessary until everyone that bought this stupid thing is gone. normal gameplay proceeds. https://t.co/jd93Jt11Ex

If anyone pull up on me while im in my Fortnite Cyber Truck, I'm sending you back to the lobby, on nitro.

This is the most united the fn community has been in months and it's over hating the cybertruck, even epic games employees hate it https://t.co/lD1nyPKIWN pic.twitter.com/ntoF7TARQP
