Fortnite Update 3.86 Patch Notes (v24.10) – March 29, 2023

Battle Royale

SPRING BREAKOUT QUESTS

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 
  • Day 7 Quest’s Reward: Shell Smash Spray
  • Day 9 Quest’s Reward: The Works Loading Screen
  • Day 12 Quest’s Reward: A Spring Breakout Banner Icon

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

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

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.

(During Spring Breakout, keep an eye out for Cluck on the Island, as he has some goodies waiting to sell you.)

MAJOR BUG FIXES

Creative Mode

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

Fortnite 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.

NITRO DRIFTER

Fortnite 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.

WILDLIFE SPAWNER UPDATE: NEW SPRING CHICKENS

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.

HEAL EGG AND HOP EGG CONSUMABLES

Heal Eggs and Hop Eggs are laid by green and purple chickens, but the eggs can also be placed in Chests or dropped by AI enemies. The Heal Egg restores Health and Shield slowly over time, and the Hop Egg restores some Health and temporarily gives players a low gravity effect (meaning they can jump higher).

EGG LAUNCHER

Fortnite Egg Launcher

What else can we say? The Egg Launcher weapon launches explosive eggs. It’s egg-cellent.
