Fortnite and Rocket League have kicked off a small new crossover event, called Rivals & Rockets, and it’s got unusually good rewards. With a fairly minimal amount of grinding, you can earn a free Fortnite skin and a free car body that works in both games. But you’ll have to play Rocket League to get the skin. The Rockets & Rivals event runs until April 30.
To unlock the free skin–Dueling Dragons Jackie, which is a new version, with a much cooler jacket, of the free skin Jackie that was awarded for playing Rocket Racing two years ago–you’ll need to complete five quests while playing online matches in Rocket League:
- Hit the ball 50 times
- Get 15 centers or clears
- Get 5 goals
- Play 5 matches
- Win 5 matches
While these quests may seem a little daunting for folks who don’t play Rocket League, they’re not very time consuming–I got through them in about 45 minutes by playing normally. If you’re worried about scoring goals, try the Heatseeker modes in ranked or casual. In Heatseeker, the ball naturally drifts toward the goal at all times, making it much easier to get a shot on target.
