Fortnite update 24.10 patch notes
Spring Breakout event
This year’s Easter event is called Spring Breakout and it runs until April 11, 2023.
It features the return of egg-themed weapons and items, as well as new ‘Spring Chickens’ and cherry blossoms appearing across the map to brighten things up.
There will also be Easter-themed cosmetics in the Item Shop including a brand-new Penny skin, as well as free cosmetics that can be unlocked by completing Spring Breakout Quests.
Spring Breakout Quests
A new Spring Breakout Quest will be released every day at 6AM PT / 9AM ET / 2PM BST. Some of these will give you XP while others will reward you with cosmetics like the Bloomback Sack Back Bling or Shell Smash Spray.
Additionally, if you complete 12 Spring Breakout Quests in total, you’ll receive the Nannerbloom Hammer Pickaxe, and if you manage to complete 22 in total, you’ll unlock the Fresh Flyer Glider. You can see those cosmetics below.
New chickens and eggs
Green and purple chickens have started to appear around the Island, leaving special Eggs behind them. If you interact with these Eggs, you’ll get some unique effects for a short period of time.

The following issues should be fixed when the 24.10 update arrives:
