Fortnite players are now able to unlock the Tesla Cybertruck, though have found it has arrived with some issues – not unlike its real-world equivalent.
Players report that using the digital version of Elon Musk’s motor breaks various in-game items, effectively penalising them for attempting to drive the Cybertruck themselves.
Videos uploaded by Fortnite fans on reddit show players unable to use the meta-dominating Nitro Fists, as well as the current Pirates of the Caribbean collaboration item Ship in a Bottle, after driving a Cybertruck.
Finally, players report that using the Cybertruck gives an advantage when trying to eliminate stowaway players, versus other vehicles. This is the opposite of an issue with premium paid-for car skins offering more protection for stowaways that Epic Games has previously said it would fix.
The Tesla Cybertruck has been a controversial addition to Fortnite, with some of the game’s own developers saying they would destroy the vehicle on sight if spotted in-game.
“Reminder that voting with your wallet works and sentiment on social media is a tangible factor,” one Fortnite developer said, distancing themselves from the addition of the car closely associated with Tesla, X and SpaceX billionaire Elon Musk.
In real-life, the Cybertruck has become notorious for its various issues, including safety concerns, malfunctions, and bits just generally falling off, leading to repeated recalls.
