Fortnite Rocket Racing has launched its latest season, Neon Rush, bringing a fresh wave of content including new tracks, ranked rewards, and the ability to race on creator-made tracks. Alongside these additions, Epic Games has introduced a set of Kickoff Quests that offer players the chance to earn exclusive painted variants of the Aetherius Wheels. These quests are straightforward: participants simply need to finish races in either Ranked or the new Speed Run mode. 🏎️
The Neon Rush Kickoff Quests are divided into two categories: Racing Quests and Speed Run Quests. Racing Quests are tied to Ranked Races, while Speed Run Quests are specific to the newly introduced Speed Run mode. The beauty of these challenges lies in their simplicity—no complicated objectives, just crossing the finish line.
Racing Quests
Players who complete Ranked Races will unlock progressively more rewards. The table below outlines the requirements and the corresponding Aetherius Wheel painted styles.
| Quest | Reward |
|---|---|
| Complete 5 Ranked Races | Cobalt Aetherius Painted Style |
| Complete 10 Ranked Races | Grey Aetherius Painted Style |
| Complete 20 Ranked Races | Orange Aetherius Painted Style |
| Complete 30 Ranked Races | Lime Aetherius Painted Style |
| Complete 50 Ranked Races | Pink Aetherius Painted Style |
Speed Run Quests
The Speed Run mode is a new addition in Neon Rush, and it has its own set of quests. These require players to complete runs in Speed Run matches. The rewards are again painted styles for the Aetherius Wheels.
| Quest | Reward |
|---|---|
| Complete 15 Runs in Speed Run Matches | Sky Blue Aetherius Painted Style |
| Complete 30 Runs in Speed Run Matches | Burnt Sienna Aetherius Painted Style |
| Complete 60 Runs in Speed Run Matches | Saffron Aetherius Painted Style |

| Complete 175 Runs in Speed Run Matches | Black Aetherius Painted Style |
Neon Rush Kickoff Bonus Goals
In addition to the individual quests, there are bonus goals that reward players for completing a certain number of total Kickoff Quests. These goals provide even more painted styles and the base Aetherius Wheels.
| Goal | Reward |
|---|---|
| Complete 1 Neon Rush Kickoff Quest | Aetherius Wheels |
| Complete 4 Neon Rush Kickoff Quests | Titanium White Aetherius Painted Style |
| Complete 7 Neon Rush Kickoff Quests | Crimson Aetherius Painted Style |
| Complete 10 Neon Rush Kickoff Quests | Purple Aetherius Painted Style |
Completing all ten Kickoff Quests will yield a total of ten painted styles plus the base wheels, giving players a vibrant collection to customize their vehicles. The quests also award XP, which contributes to leveling up the Battle Pass.
How to Complete Neon Rush Kickoff Quests Efficiently
-
Focus on Speed Run for quick runs: Speed Run matches are shorter, so you can rack up the required runs faster.
-
Mix in Ranked Races: If you enjoy competitive play, Ranked Races count toward both Racing Quests and your rank progression.
-
Play consistently: The quests require a significant number of races, so spreading them out over the season is advisable.
-
Check your progress: Keep an eye on the quest log to see which rewards you've unlocked.
For those looking to maximize efficiency, focusing on Speed Run matches might be faster since runs are typically shorter than full Ranked Races. However, players who enjoy competitive racing can naturally progress through Ranked Races while climbing the ranks.
The Neon Rush season also introduces new tracks and ranked rewards, further enriching the Rocket Racing experience. With creator-made tracks now accessible, the variety of racing environments has expanded significantly. The Aetherius Wheels themselves are a new cosmetic addition, and the painted styles offer a wide range of color options to match any vehicle setup.
As the season progresses, these Kickoff Quests will remain available for a limited time, so players are encouraged to complete them before they expire. The painted Aetherius Wheels are exclusive to this event, making them a desirable addition to any collection. Additionally, the XP earned from these quests can help players unlock tiers in the current Battle Pass, providing even more incentives to participate.
In summary, Neon Rush offers a generous set of rewards for players who simply enjoy racing. Whether through Ranked or Speed Run, finishing races is all it takes to earn these stylish wheel variants. 🏁
