There's something about cherry blossoms that puts one in a cheery mood.
In Fortnite Battle Royale v24.10, parts of the Island are getting a makeover as things warm up. From cherry blossoms to spring chickens, dig into the details below of what's new in Spring Breakout 2023! Take up your Egg Launchers while Spring Breakout is live ‘til April 11 2023, at 12 AM ET.
Hop to It with Spring Breakout Quests[]
Just as the Island is full of life, decorate your Locker with colorful rewards by completing Spring Breakout Quests! The first Spring Breakout Quest will be available starting March 29 at 9 AM ET, and a new one will be added daily at 9 AM ET. The Quests will be available until April 11 2023, at 12 AM ET.
What will you hatch by completing the Spring Breakout Quests? Most of them will get you XP, while some will reward a special Locker item:
- Day 1 Quest's Reward: Bloomback Sack Back Bling

Which Came First, the Green Chicken or the Golden Egg?[]
Two new types of chickens and three new kinds of eggs are on the Island for the duration of Spring Breakout. You may notice green and purple chickens clucking about, leaving special eggs around the Island. Interacting with these unusual eggs will temporarily give you a benefit:
- Heal Eggs: These green eggs restore your Health and Shield slowly over time.
- Hop Eggs: These blue eggs temporarily give you a low gravity effect, and also give you Health.
- Golden Eggs: You can't technically eat these eggs, but interacting with one grants you Bars! (Unlike Heal Eggs and Hop Eggs, Golden Eggs cannot be added to your inventory.)
Create Eggcellent Explosions with the Egg Launcher[]
The Egg Launcher breaks out of the vault for Spring Breakout! Find Egg Launchers from the ground, Chests, Supply Drops, or for sale from certain Characters. You can also get one from the new Springtime Blowout Reality Augment!
More In v24.10: New Battle Royale Reality Augments![]
v24.10 introduces four other Reality Augments. Augment yourself with:
Rail Warrior
Go for Broke
Aquatic Warrior
Game Time
Characters Spring into Even More Action[]
Specialist Characters Just in case you need a little help during battle, eight Specialist Characters have dropped on the Island and are ready for hire! There are four different types of Specialists, each one with a different role to play:
- Scout Specialist: Scouts can pick off foes from afar with a Sniper, and can ping nearby enemies and Chests.
- Heavy Specialist: With their explosive inventory, Heavies specializes in making things go BOOM! Heavies can also take more damage than other Specialists.
- Supply Specialist: Supply Specialists drop ammo and mats for you to pick up (Note: Supply Specialists won't drop mats in Zero Build.)
- Medical Specialist: Hired Medics heal you with Chug Splashes to restore your Health and Shield.
Collections Tab Rehaul Being a social butterfly just got a whole lot easier. The Collections tab is now called the "Characters" tab and now shows a map displaying the location of all Characters on the Island, both the ones you've discovered and the ones you haven't. Once you discover a Character, you can view their services in the Characters tab along with how many Bars their services cost. Check out the Characters tab by opening the map in a match and navigating to the tab!
(During Spring Breakout, keep an eye out for Cluck on the Island, as he has some goodies waiting to sell you.)
Battle Royale Chapter 4 Season 2 Super Level Styles[]
Illuminate the future in style. In the Bonus Rewards section of the Battle Pass tab, bonus Styles for Battle Royale Chapter 4 Season 2 Battle Pass rewards have been available for players who progress past Level 100. With v24.10, Chapter 4 Season 2's Super Level Styles have been added as bonus rewards!

Building and Editing Sensitivities[]
In v24.10, a Building Sensitivity setting and Editing Sensitivity setting have been added to Fortnite's "Mouse and Keyboard" settings. With these new settings, you're now able to adjust the sensitivity of building or editing structures to your preferred speed.

The Fortnite Creative v24.10 update includes the new Channel device, the Nitro Drifter vehicle, Spring chickens and consumable item eggs, the Egg Launcher weapon, new options in My Island, and bug fixes.
Channel Device[]
The Channel device is simple: it takes a signal and sends it forward. You can use this functionality to link one group of devices to another group of devices in a way that is similar to the old channel system. You can set up a Channel device to send events to many devices at once, then change the source of those events without using a lot of Trigger devices or having to change a lot of options in the connected devices.
Nitro Drifter[]
Get ready to drift! The Nitro Drifter vehicle is ready to use in your racing islands. This car seats four to encourage social play in many types of games.

Green and purple chickens have been added to the Wildlife Spawner device! Like their Fortnite Battle Royale counterparts, these brightly colored chickens lay Heal Eggs and Hop Eggs. These eggs are consumables that players can keep in their inventory and use at any time.
Egg Launcher[]
What else can we say? The Egg Launcher weapon launches explosive eggs. It's egg-cellent.
