Fortnite's Spring Breakout Event is still ongoing and is allowing players to grab a litany of rewards including XP, new cosmetics, and a terrifying loading screen.
Fortnite’s brand new Spring Breakout event in celebration of Easter launched this month alongside Fortnite Update 24.10. As the first major update of Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 2, Spring Breakout has made quite a splash already with some new skins, weapons, and mechanics added specifically for the event. We've got a full list of quests and rewards – including guides for some of the trickier quests – below, so be sure to check those out if you want to see everything the Fortnite Spring Breakout Event has to offer.
These quests are being updated daily until April 11, 2023, with some days (Day 1, 7, 9, and 12) giving you special cosmetics in exchange for completing them. There’s also a selection of Spring Breakout challenges which are far less involved, but completing them counts towards unlocking the Nannerbloom Hammer Pickaxe and Fresh Flyer Glider.
Fortnite Spring Breakout Quests
Fortnite Spring Breakout quests update daily at 2pm BST / 9am EDT / 6am PDT. These quests will offer the usual XP as well as some special cosmetic items for completing specific day quests. Some of the following quests are not in the game yet, but thanks to @iFireMonkey on Twitter, we know the complete list of quests for this event and we'll be updating it with guides for some of the trickier ones.
Day 1 – Visit three cherry blossom tree displays
For this mission, you’ll simply have to walk up to three of the cherry blossom trees around the map. Luckily the five locations where you can find cherry blossoms are marked on the map when you look at the quest in-game, and they are as follows:
- Shattered Slabs
- The Citadel
- Anvil Square
- Brutal Bastion
- Slappy Shores
The fastest way to get this quest done would be to land at Shattered Slabs, move up to The Citadel, and then head towards Anvil Square. These three locations are fairly close to each other so you could get the quest done in one match easily. Don’t worry though, you can do it over multiple matches, so if you just wanted to land at each location over the course of three matches that’s a valid option too.
Where to find eggs in Fortnite
Gathering eggs in Fortnite is a new aspect of the game, but it's something you'll need to do for a few of these Spring Breakout quests. Basically, you’ll spot chickens roaming around the map, and they now come in snazzy new green and purple varieties. Chase them around a bit and they’ll eventually drop eggs. Blue eggs are Hop Eggs and green ones are Heal Eggs, and occasionally one of these chickens will drop a Golden Egg.
Interacting with these eggs will give you the following temporary benefits:
Heal Eggs: restore your Health and Shield slowly over time.
Hop Eggs: temporarily give you a low gravity effect, and also give you health.
Golden Eggs: interacting with these eggs grants you bars, but they cannot be added to your inventory, unlike the others
Chickens don’t give up on laying eggs, so you could chase the same one around to get as many eggs as you need. We recommend hanging out to the west of Anvil Square as there are typically a few chickens hanging out there. Chase them about and grab their eggs to complete the Day 2 quest and get 20k XP.
Fortnite Specialist Characters
The other new feature required for Spring Breakout quests are the Specialist Characters that you can hire for 250 bars. There are eight of these scattered around the map and they are split into the following four categories:
Heavy Specialist – These Specialists are host to great destructive potential and can take more damage than other Specialists.
Medical Specialist – These Specialists will heal you with Chug Splashes to help you out when you're in danger.
Scout Specialist – These Specialists can attack from long distances with their Sniper and will ping nearby enemies and chests.
Supply Specialist – These specialists will supply you with ammo and building supplies.
Fortnite Egg Launcher
Making it's return to the game after showing up in previous Easter-themed events is the Egg Launcher. This weapon works like a grenade launcher, but with exploding eggs instead of grenades. They require a bit of skill to use efficiently, as these eggs will bounce rather than exploding on impact, but they have the potential to cause some serious damage.
There isn't a set location for this weapon to appear on the map. Instead it'll appear in the chests and throughout the map like any other weapon.
