Fortnite’s crossover events are always highly anticipated, with characters like Goku and Lady Gaga making appearances in the game. However, not every crossover is met with enthusiasm from players and even some developers. The recent collaboration with the Cybertruck has created a divide among the Fortnite community.
Tesla, the company behind the Cybertruck, has faced its own share of controversies, which has affected its popularity. The Cybertruck skin is now available in Fortnite through in-game quests, but some developers have taken to Twitter to express their disapproval of the crossover.
Despite the pushback, players can still unlock the Cybertruck skin in the game. Some Fortnite developers have even supported the idea of players excluding the Cybertruck skin from lobbies once it becomes more widespread.

Fortnite Devs Respond to Cybertruck Crossover
Epic Games, the company behind Fortnite, has a large team of developers with differing opinions. The controversy surrounding the Cybertruck collab has led to some developers sharing their personal thoughts on social media.
Kyle Wynn, the producer of Fortnite Festival, has hinted at the idea of voting with your actions in response to the Cybertruck collaboration. While not directly criticizing the Cybertruck, his comments have raised eyebrows following the reveal.
Leading up to the release of the Cybertruck skin, another developer, who has since made their account private, humorously wrote “destroy on sight” with a cheeky emoji. This sentiment has been echoed by many players on social media, as the Cybertruck skin remains locked behind quests.
While not every player may appreciate the Cybertruck collab, it is likely here to stay. However, with its complicated quest path and the backlash it has received, it may become a rare sighting in the world of Fortnite collaborations.
