On another note, what majors the attention today is the revelation that the Summer Road Trip is live, accompanied by the unlocking of free cosmetics. The event starts in about two hours, and much hype is building up because Epic Games are giving away some really cool stuff for free-No V-Bucks required!
Now that the prelude is out of the way, let’s discuss the covers. Leaked information and player reactions from various corners have it that the prizes come with a cool car skin (free ones are rare, so just appreciate this), a glider modeled after a gigantic Rocket League ball, and a music track, The Zephyr Song, by Red Hot Chili Peppers-you read that right, Fortnite and RHCP in the same sentence.
Still, some believe the issues to be in piecemeal setups. For instance, the cynical glances are cast toward taking the recycled avenue from last year’s Summer Road Trip and questioning Epic on why they chose not to mix things up. One outright questioned, “Why recycle last year’s Summer Road Trip format?” Another theorized Epic just is sticking with what works to ensure high engagement (and profits). Funny, but hey-free stuff is free, so let the goodies roll!
In that sense, according to SpiderBoy_FN, sprays “look like a 5 year old made them” but others like Daniyal are stoked about the car skin “because they don’t USUALLY give out free car skins.” Then interface_cache was mindblown, realizing that the Rocket League ball is an actual glider and not just a pickaxe. The confusion is growing.
Sink05 asks if this is achievable on mobile since they are going on holiday, just to show Fortnite grinders never take a day off, even on holidays. Not_AIIan hopes that Rocket League is not a requirement to completing the quests. We stand with you, buddy.
Inxctivewrld is balling over the actual live-ness of the Rocket League quests might be 1.5, might be 3.5 hours. Classic Fortnite-style ticking down clock.
What say ye? The Summer Road Trip event is set up to brew some excitement, some confusion, and a little bit of skepticism. And at the end of the day, free cosmetics-is-free cosmetics, so players are already launching themselves at whatever Epic is gonna throw at them. There is a little something for everyone: a car, a glider, or just chilling with RHCP while landing on Battle Royale.
Gosh, we can’t wait; there’s some Summer Road Trip to make up for! We shall see you on the island. Maybe with that free car.
