The crossover event between Fortnite and Rocket League, titled "Rivals & Rockets," is officially live, offering players some of the most substantial free rewards seen in recent collaborations. By participating in this limited-time event, you can secure a free Fortnite skin and a new car body that functions across both titles.
The event is currently running but won't last forever; you have until April 30 to complete your objectives and claim your loot.
How to Get Your Free Fortnite Skin
To unlock the featured cosmetic, players must engage with content inside Rocket League. The reward is a new version of the "Dueling Dragons Jackie" skin. This updated look features an upgraded jacket compared to the original Jackie skin awarded during the Rocket Racing event two years ago.
To claim the Dueling Dragons Jackie skin, you must complete five specific quests during online matches in Rocket League:
- Hit the ball 50 times
- Get 15 centers or clears
- Score 5 goals
- Play 5 matches
- Win 5 matches
While these requirements might seem intensive for non-regular players, the grind is surprisingly manageable. Most players can complete the entire checklist in roughly 45 minutes of standard gameplay.
Strategies for Completing Rocket League Quests
If you find yourself struggling with the scoring requirements, there is a way to optimize your time. For those worried about hitting the goal requirement, playing Heatseeker modes in either ranked or casual play is highly recommended.
In Heatseeker, the ball naturally drifts toward the goal at all times, making it significantly easier to land shots on target and complete your quests quickly. Once you have finished your tasks in Rocket League, your rewards—including the free Fortnite skin and the crossover car body—will be ready for use.
