Spring has officially sprung in the Northern Hemisphere, and Fortnite is celebrating the start of the new season with its first-ever springtime event. Called "Spring Breakout," this new limited-time event adds new outfits, an egg-themed weapon, and more. It's live now, and there is even a themed bouncy egg challenge for players looking to get some Legendary-level experience.

　　Epic Games ran down all the details in a blog post, and we've broken down the key details here to get you up to speed quickly.

　　

New Content To Unlock

Running March 30-April 7, the Spring Breakout event brings back the Egg Launcher weapon, which, as its name suggests, lets you shoot eggs to celebrate Easter. Players can also complete a new quest from Webster--a new character who offers Legendary quests--\that rewards you with the Tactical Quaxes pickaxe. This quest goes live on Thursday, April 1, but it is no April Fools' joke.

　　Additionally, Fortnite's island is getting new eggs that, when consumed, make you hop like a bunny rabbit.

　　The Bouncy Eggs are also used in a Legendary quest this week. You need to forage them by either gathering or consuming to complete this challenge. There are five tiers in total that you'll need to finish to get the most out of it.

New Items To Buy

Fortnite's in-game store is being stocked with new items to buy, themed around spring and Easter. The Bunny Brawler, Rabbit Raider, and Quackling outfits are all returning.

　　To celebrate April Fool's Day, Fortnite also added the "Stonks Guy" as a skin for 1,200 V-Bucks. It's called Diamond Hanz in the Item Shop, and it also includes an orange arrow alongside the skin.
