    I love this. Just like what happened with the gold skins in MechWarrior Online.

    The “truck” has a terrible design, and often is incapable of completing basic tasks a truck is expected to do without great difficulty or some weird quirk.

      Is the Cybertruck even a truck? I don’t see the “truck” part.

      I know very little about cars, and even less about trucks. When I think of a truck, I think of a bed in the back where you can haul stuff from Home Depot.

      Where is the “truck” part?

        Trucks with covers are a thing, it’s called a tonneau. What’s not normal is for them to be permanent.

        Someone on my discord posted the warranty terms and apparently it doesn’t cover unusual damage or useage such as exposrure to rain, sunlight or being used off a paved road. So no its not a truck, in fact it doesn’t even stand up as a car.

        It has a bed with a cover on, raccoons think it’s a dumpster and try and open it.

        Generally if you get a truck and do truck things with it, there’s 2 specific things a truck will have that no other class has:

        1. A protected bed that you can put bulky and dirty/stinky items into for transport
        2. The ability to pull a large trailer

        But hilariously your average crossover is fully capable of hauling an inexpensive trailer and a couple thousand pounds of whatever if not more than that, which covers 99.9% of the lifestyle arguments most pavement princes truck owners make for why they need a truck

        You mean…like the Cybertruck has? Did you really think it didn’t have a bed?

        I’m going to start calling them Tesla hatchbacks.

    • Rhaedas@fedia.io ⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      My first live sighting of one of them I realized how god-awful ugly they really are. Even in some bronze/pewter terrible color. Or maybe it got left in the rain and that's just corrosion.

    • Voyajer@lemmy.world ⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      I forgot about that! Good times. They got team killed/crippled pretty often too.

      source
      • RightHandOfIkaros@lemmy.world ⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

        Yes, it was funny when the entire game would stop just to focus on killing the gold skin user. Didn’t matter what team they were on, they became the collective target of everyone in the match. Good times.

    So is this what they call “cyber bullying”?

      The only kind I support.

    But that’s like the entire game anyway… You mean to tell me you play a last man standing shooter and let people live?

      Quoted in the article:

      “i propose a new fortnite rule: if you see someone in a cybertruck, you are now in a truce with everyone else in the lobby until they’re taken out. this repeats as many times as necessary until everyone that bought this stupid thing is gone. normal gameplay proceeds.“

        I’m so confused about what fortnite even is now. It used to be a game where you fought zombies, now I have no idea

        You don’t buy it right? I didn’t check the store, but I saw its a reward from a quest.

        Real Fortnite players only buy skins from emotionally-stunted Twitch streamers…

        source
    • Obi@sopuli.xyz ⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      I guess if it’s a situation where multiple enemies are in sight everyone would focus on the cybertruck so you’d be even more targeted than normal (I have no idea how to play Fortnite).

      source
      • ladicius@lemmy.world ⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

        That’s exactly what will happen (that ugly nazi car is not yet available ingame).

        source
    • variants@possumpat.io ⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      I guess everyone will work in solidarity to kill the player who picked the cybertruck character, then once that’s done the remaining humanoids will just play like normal

    • radicalautonomy@lemmy.world ⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      Driving a Cybertruck in the game would be like being a child molestor in the penitentiary. Other inmates may have beef with one another and be ready to shank a mfer if they get froggy; but if a child molester joins the cell block, they team up on him first.

    No idea how Fortnite works. But can you (realistically) use the Cybertruck to cut off your enemies fingers with it’s automatic doors.

    • MentalEdge@sopuli.xyz ⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      Dunno. But it seems like its bulletproofing has been accurately translated into the game.

      source
      • Kolanaki@yiffit.net ⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

        So it’s not very bulletproof at all?

    I wish I could do this in real life. I’ve seen two in my city and they’re visually arresting.

      And they look like dumpsters from behind. Apparently raccoons have even scratched some trying to get inside, thinking they held delicious trash.

        Sadly, they’re only expensive trash.

      The dude who owns the new Dunkin Donuts in town parked his out front with a Dunkin sticker on it. Totally a legit business expense.

      source
      • FlyingSquid@lemmy.world ⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

        Right in front of the Dunkin, huh? It would be terrible if people kept accidentally spilling their coffee, hot chocolate and the like on it considering you have to immediately scrape bird shit and dead bugs off of it when you get to where you’re going to avoid corrosion. (Really.)

        source
  • 0x0@lemmy.dbzer0.com ⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    This wouldn’t change how I play? I already destroy everything on sight (in Fortnite).

    source
    • Ultraviolet@lemmy.world ⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      The change is if you see one, there’s an implied truce between every non-Cybertruck-owner until they’re dead, then it’s back to a free for all.

  • intensely_human@lemm.ee ⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    I fucking love playing as the odd man out. This makes me want to play fortnight and go run rampant in the cybertruck like john wick.

    Now all I need is skill
