Epic Games' latest update, v28.30, for Rocket Racing in Fortnite introduces thrilling new features and improvements that promise to elevate the gaming experience for racers worldwide.

Rocket Racing Patch v28.30

Season Zero of Rocket Racing is now more exhilarating with the addition of the Speed Run mode, enhancements for mobile players, and the integration of new items that bridge Fortnite with Rocket League.

Speed Run Mode: Challenge the Clock

The spotlight of the v28.30 patch is the Speed Run mode, a high-octane challenge where players race against time to set record lap times across beloved tracks like Riviera, Anaconda, and Olympus. With player collisions turned off, racers can focus solely on mastering their routes and beating the clock.

This mode not only introduces a ghost feature to help players improve by learning from their past runs but also adds a competitive edge with Season and friends leaderboards, pushing players to refine their skills constantly.

Unlock the Sprintspark Trail

In addition to the adrenaline-pumping Speed Run mode, players can embark on the Speed Run Kickoff Quests to unlock the new Sprintspark Trail and its 13 vibrant paint colors. These quests offer players a new way to customize their racing experience, adding an extra layer of personalization and style to the game.

Mobile Gaming Redefined

Recognizing the importance of mobile gaming, Epic Games has rolled out significant improvements for Rocket Racing on mobile devices. The update includes a transition from a D-pad to a touchscreen joystick for enhanced driving precision and revamped visuals for the mobile HUD, ensuring a smoother and more immersive gaming experience on the go.

Diestro and Xenosplash: Bridging Worlds

The v28.30 patch also introduces the Diestro Car Body and Xenosplash Boost, items from Rocket League, to the Fortnite ecosystem. These items, along with their exclusive decals and paint colors, symbolize the cross-game ownership feature, allowing players to use their Rocket League items within Fortnite.

The inclusion of these items not only enriches the customization options but also strengthens the connection between the two gaming communities.

Enhancements and Bug Fixes

Among other updates, v28.30 brings an advanced Air Roll mechanic, allowing players to perform spins in mid-air, and adjusts various quests to be more inclusive of the new Speed Run mode. Additionally, the patch addresses collision issues, improves checkpoint accuracy, and refines the drift boost mechanic for a more precise and enjoyable racing experience.

Patch v28.30 marks a significant milestone in the evolution of Rocket Racing within Fortnite, introducing innovative gameplay modes, enhancing mobile playability, and fostering a unique cross-game ecosystem.

As players gear up to set new records, complete quests, and explore the improved gameplay, the Rocket Racing community is set to grow more vibrant and competitive.
