Fortnite v24.10 update brings the Channel Device, Nitro Drifter and more

Over the course of each season, Fortnite releases a new update that keeps gamers interested in the game. These upgrades introduce the new Channel device, the Nitro Drifter vehicle, Spring chickens and consumable item eggs, and are eagerly anticipated by fans. And now, the Fortnite v24.10 update has arrived in the game, and here’s what players can expect from the fifth content update of Chapter 4 Season 2.

Fortnite Creative v24.10 Update: Key Highlights

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 straightforward: it receives a signal and transmits it. You can use this functionality to link one group of devices to another group of devices in a way that is comparable to the old channel system. You can set up a Channel device to deliver events to several devices at once, then change the source of those events without using a lot of Trigger devices or having to change a lot of parameters 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.

Wildlife Spawner Update: New Spring Chickens

The Wildlife Spawner device now has green and purple chickens as well! These vibrantly coloured chickens lay Heal Eggs and Hop Eggs just like their Fortnite Battle Royale counterparts. Players can keep these eggs in their inventory as consumables to use at any time.

Heal Egg and Hop Egg Consumables

Green and purple chickens lay heal and hop eggs, although the eggs can also be found in chests or dropped by AI foes. The Hop Egg restores some Health and offers players a temporary low gravity effect while the Heal Egg gradually restores Health and Shield (meaning they can jump higher).

New Options in My Island

• The Settings tab of My Island has the following new Energy options:
  • Energy Max
  • Energy Recharge Delay
  • Energy Recharge Amount

These settings will influence any game element that uses Energy, such as sprinting, sliding, and certain special movement types associated with melee weapons.

• The Edit Mode – Enable Pickaxe option is also now available in the Settings tab of My Island.
• The UI tab of My Island has three more Edit Mode options:
  • Edit Mode HUD – Show Health and Shield
  • Edit Mode HUD – Show UI Under Minimap
  • Edit Mode HUD – Show Resources

Fortnite Battle Royale v24.10 Update: Key Highlights

As the weather gets warmer, the Island in Fortnite Battle Royale v24.10 is changing in some places. Check out the information below to learn more about what’s new in Spring Breakout 2023, from cherry blossoms to spring chickens! Grab your Egg Launchers because Spring Breakout will be running until April 11, 2023, at 12 AM ET.

Earn colorful rewards by completing Spring Breakout Quests

By completing Spring Breakout Quests, you can fill your Locker with vibrant rewards just like the Island is teeming with life! A new one will be added every day at 9 AM ET beginning on March 29 with the first Spring Breakout Quest. Until April 11, 2023 at 12 AM ET, the quests will be accessible.

By completing the Spring Breakout Quests, you will get awarded some XP, while a few will give you a unique 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

There are more rewards too. For completing 12 Spring Breakout Quests, you’ll receive the Nannerbloom Hammer Pickaxe, and for completing 22, you’ll unlock the Fresh Flyer Glider! 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

For Spring Breakout, the Egg Launcher escapes from the vault! Egg Launchers can be found on the ground, in chests, supply drops, or being sold by specific characters. Moreover, one is available from the brand-new Springtime Blowout Reality Augment!

Characters Spring into even more action in the Fortnite Battle Royale v24.10 Update

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.
