You can now drive one of the ugliest cars ever made in Fortnite thanks to latest collaboration

The newest Fortnite collaboration is here and it gives you the chance to drive around the popular battle royale game in what is perhaps one of the least aesthetically pleasing vehicles ever made.

The Cybertruck has officially made its Fortnite debut and will be available in the item shop as a Combat Vehicle later today. This means that, if you choose to buy it, any car that you enter during a typical online match will automatically transform into a Cybertruck.

The Cybertruck’s inclusion in the game was first revealed in a post to the Fortnite X / Twitter account which contained a brief animated trailer showing the truck pulling multiple other vehicles. This is presumably a reference to the manufacturer's claims that the vehicle has an 11,000 pound towing capacity.

As you might expect, users flooded the replies with mocking comments. “That’s unrealistic,” one remarked, “the Cybertruck wouldn’t have made it up a hill.” 

“So will it break down on the side of the road every five minutes?” asked another.

A viral post even suggested that there was “an unspoken rule” among players to “drop whatever they’re doing to force a Cybertruck user back to the lobby.” We'll have to wait and see whether this is actually the case.
