As part of the Summer Road Trip Quests available between July 23 and August 6, 2024, players could unlock the Tesla Cybertruck Bundle, a set of cosmetics allowing players to drive the titular car in-game. This add-on was criticized due to the car body's large and angular design causing numerous bugs upon its release, and having unique pros and cons compared to other SUV skins (i.e. large windshield exposing players to more gunfire head-on, easier to ram into players and to eliminate stowaway players). These complaints were intensified by prior political and online controversies involving Tesla CEO Elon Musk. A group of players decided to express their dissatisfaction by making a truce that, should they spot a Cybertruck driver during normal gameplay, they would stop what they were doing and take out the player and the vehicle as soon as possible. The truce grew large enough that three known Epic Games developers (Kyle Wynn, Toby Sperring and Robby Williams) also criticized the add-on or encouraged the in-game protests on social media, but emphasized that although they work for Epic Games, the company is still comprised of many people with differing opinions.
