PowerWash Splashout is having a close encounter of the dirt kind in latest update

Usually, when a UFO comes to Fortnite, it is followed by some sort of alien coming out; then you shoot it and get some special gear, then get sniped by a camper and have it all stolen. But not this time! Because this time, the UFO is coming to FuturLabs’ PowerWash Splashout map.

This is a custom island developed by FuturLabs themselves to bring the PowerWashing fun to Fortnite. And I do mean fun; I am a big fan of PowerWash Simulator. This island combines the outrageous antics and stupid dances of Fortnite with the precision cleanliness of PowerWash Simulator. And surprisingly, it does work. 

The whole island launched around two weeks ago, and lets you tackle monoliths of dirt in solo play, with a team, or in competitive matches. Of course, these are the usual serene, relaxing jobs like in PowerWash Simulator. Here you can dash around on rails, get power-ups, and sadly hit the griddy. Someone should, I guess; Justin Jefferson is getting nothing with the Vikings this season. 

Now, this being a PowerWash-inspired game, the competitive aspect won’t see you doming each other whilst the dirt remains unclean. No, warfare will be carried out in a more civilised manner. You will sabotage each other by unleashing the likes of dirt rain or dirt bombs. I think I would prefer the bullet; imagine the rage when you perfectly clean a tricky area only to have garbage thrown all over it.

Despite the sabotage, the Fortnite PowerWash service must be famous, and some extraterrestrials have brought their UFOs for a good clean in this latest update. Apparently, space is lousy with dirt and aliens don’t know how to clean. Grab some friends and boldly go where no man has gone before; ETs exhaust pipe.

Fortnite is available to download from the App Store and Google Play, and you can reach PowerWash Splashout with the island code 7630-0397-6508.
