Rocket League cars arrive on the Island
Rocket League cars have been available in Creative mode for a while now, but they’re finally zooming onto the Island for their long-overdue Battle Royale debut in the v22.40 update!
What’s so special about these cars? Well, they have “rocket boosters, supersonic speed, and the ability to jump, double jump, dodge, take flight, and drive on walls”.
Epic GamesRocket League Quests and freebies
To celebrate Rocket League cars arriving in Fortnite’s Battle Royale mode, there will be a new set of quests to complete based on these fast-paced vehicles.
Even better, there will be a handful of free cosmetics to unlock along the way, including a pickaxe and a skateboard back bling with several Rocket League-themed designs.
Epic GamesGlide away to safety with the Grapple Glider
A brand new item called the Grapple Glider has arrived in the loot pool with the 22.40 update. It’s called the Grapple Glider, and it lets you pull yourself into the air before gliding away to safety.
You can find the Grapple Glider from the ground, Chests, Chrome Chests, and Supply Drops.
Epic GamesTilted Towers is now Tainted Towers
Following the 22.40 update, Tilted Towers is now known as Tainted Towers. We’re not quite sure why, as it doesn’t seem to have changed, but maybe it will have something to do with the upcoming event?
A new lobby for the upcoming live event
It’s been confirmed that the Fracture live event will take place on December 3, 2022, and it looks like we’re getting a new lobby background to mark the occasion.
