In the official blog, it has been informed that the Fortnite New Update 24.10 also pits The Egg Launcher which will also break out of the vault for Spring Breakout. Players need to find Egg Launchers from the ground, Chests, Supply Drops, or for sale from certain Characters. You can also get one from the new Springtime Blowout Reality Augment.

SPECIALIST CHARACTERS 

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. 

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.

In v24.10, a Building Sensitivity setting and Editing Sensitivity setting have been added to Fortnite’s “Mouse and Keyboard” settings. With these new settings, you’re now able to adjust the sensitivity of building or editing structures to your preferred speed.

MISCELLANEOUS UPDATES 

• Improved the handling turn radius of the Rogue Bike vehicle at higher speeds.
• Note: We’ve been making tweaks to reduce energy usage on PlayStation and Xbox consoles. Frame rate in the Lobby will drop to 30 FPS after a period of inactivity, but will return to 60 FPS whenever you touch the controller or join a match.

COMPETITIVE NOTES 

• The Spring Breakout chickens and eggs, as well as the Egg Launcher and Springtime Blowout Reality Augment, are not included in competitive playlists.

MAJOR BUG FIXES
