Whilst podracing may be a galaxy-wide enjoyable sport to those in the Star Wars universe, those in Fortnite have Rocket Racing, a mode that blends Rocket League, racing games, and Fortnite into one package. With the new Star Wars x Fortnite event bringing the galaxy far, far away to the hands of players, it’s inevitable that the Sith come too, and players can get Darth Maul cosmetics for a vehicle.
Fortnite: All Star Wars Skins
Star Wars x Fortnite has seen many iconic characters from the galaxy far, far away come to the famous Battle Royale.
Whilst it’s no podracing on Tatooine, Rocket Racing can be a lot of fun, and these new Star Wars cosmetics can help bring new flair and personality into each vehicle. Whilst no advantage can be given with these new vehicle customization options, it’s always nice to look menacing, especially with red paint and horns.
Complete Star Wars Event Challenges In Rocket League
In order to get the cosmetics required to make a Darth Maul car in Fortnite, players will need to play Rocket League, a separate game that often collaborates with Fortnite. Once in Rocket League, players will have free access to the Star Wars Event challenges until May 20, where they can unlock Star Wars-themed items, including Darth Maul’s decals to make their vehicle look like the Sith Lord.
To start, players must complete an event challenge to unlock Anakin’s Energy Binders Trail, which can be found below:
- Hit the ball 200 times in Online Matches during the Rocket League | Star Wars Event (0/200)
This won’t be too hard to complete, as simply following the ball in an Online Match and hitting it repeatedly will grant players the cosmetic they seek. It shouldn’t take too many matches, but patience is a virtue. Once this challenge is done, players will need to equip the recently earned Energy Binders Trail on their vehicle to begin the next event challenge for Darth Maul, also found below:
- Win 10 Online Matches with the Energy Binders Trail equipped during the Rocket League | Star Wars Event (0/10)
After completing this challenge, which might take a bit of work depending on the skill of the player, players will have unlocked the Darth Maul Decal, which will turn their vehicle into Darth Maul, complete with his Dathomir horns on the roof, and his tattooed face across the body of the car, which can only be used on the Octane body.
Fortnite: All Lightsabers, Ranked
Players might be surprised to see the best lightsabers in Fortnite from the Star Wars galaxy far, far away.
Once these quests have been completed in Rocket League, and players have linked their Fortnite and Rocket League accounts through Epic Games, the next time they load into Fortnite they will receive these cosmetics available to them in Fortnite for use in Rocket Racing and as their Battle Royale vehicle of choice.
Red Lightsaber Boost (400 V-Bucks)
Rocket League isn’t the only place to get Fortnite cosmetics for the Darth Maul car, as players can head to the Item Shop and purchase the Red Lightsaber Boost for 400 V-Bucks. This boost comes with variants, and they can also be used in Rocket League. The boost itself makes the sinister lightsaber noise as players boost through Battle Royale and Rocket Racing, making an intimidating addition to the Darth Maul collection.
Darth Maul Wheels (700 V-Bucks)
The final piece of the puzzle is also found in Fortnite‘s Item Shop, in which players can currently purchase the Darth Maul Wheel as part of the Star Wars x Fortnite event. Whilst it does cost 700 V-bucks, it features a collab design of Darth Maul’s tattoo pattern on the wheels that can be used on most car bodies and works perfectly when it comes to designing Darth Maul’s car in Fortnite.
It is currently unknown whether or not the
Rocket League
decal for Darth Maul will come to
Fortnite
as part of the Item Shop after the event is over, as Fortnite has often dabbled in timed-exclusive cosmetics, but some Rocket League cosmetics have transferred over into the Fortnite item shop before, and vice versa.
