Fortnite always delights players with events throughout seasons to keep things fresh and give us more and more content to enjoy. One of those events is the always-awaited Spring Breakout, which it’s usually the time when Fortnite Challenges un-vaults all the Easter-related stuff for us to enjoy.
But as Fortnite story guide loves to experiment with its game to always keep it up in the list of the most played games, this Spring Breakout is full of surprises, new mechanics, and a load of new perks and items that will make your Spring Breakout experience the coolest one ever.
NPCs Specialisms
Back in the day, the hired Characters or NPCs were more or less helpful as they shot against the opponent, and that was pretty much it. People weren’t much interested on hire them as they were more of a burden than a blessing.
But now, all the hirable Characters in the game have new roles that can help you in certain situations, giving them much more utilities rather than shooting toward your opponent.
Sniper
|
The Sniper Characters will be long-distance warriors that will help you from far away with their great aim and Heavy Sniper Rifles.
---|---
Heavy
|
The Heavy Characters run and protect you with their shotguns , ready to engage in any kind of close combat.
Supply
|
The Supply Characters will drop ammo, grenades, and fireflies for you to pick up . These guys are ideal if you don’t like to loot.
Medical
|
Lastly, the Medical Characters will constantly toss some chug cans to you only to heal you up . They are also armed with pistols, so they are useful in battle as well.
Spring Chickens and Easter Eggs
During the Spring Breakout, the map will be flooded with colorful Easter Eggs . There are three kinds of Eggs, and each one has an effect depending on its color.
Green Eggs
|
These eggs will heal and shield you . Nothing more or less than that.
---|---
Blue Eggs
|
These eggs heal and shield you, but also give you a high jump effect for a while.
Golden Eggs
|
You can’t eat these eggs, as they are made of gold. Nonetheless, if you hatch them, you’ll receive a lot of Golden Bars .
These Easter Eggs can appear on the map or can be laid by the new Spring Chickens . These Chickens will replace the usual white (and aggressive) Chickens during the Spring Breakout, and they are special because they are in charge of laying these special eggs .
There are two kinds of Chickens:
Green Chickens
|
They lay Green Eggs. You can hold or chase them, but they won’t do anything else .
---|---
Blue Chickens
|
These are in charge of laying the Blue Eggs. If you hold one of them, they’ll give you the same effect you receive if you eat a Blue Egg .
These Chickens aren’t as aggressive as the white ones, and they will start running away as soon as you get near them. They are fast and hard to catch , so, if you see one of them and want an egg, it’s better if you wait for them to lay their eggs.
Unvaulted Weapons and Items
Fortnite keeps rotating the weapons and items they add per season, which gives the game a breath of fresh air . Thanks to the Spring Breakout, we get the Egg Launcher unvaulted , but that’s not the only thing that will see the light once again.
Egg Launcher
The Egg Launcher uses Rockets as its ammo, and as its name says, it launches eggs . However, the thing with these eggs is that they explode, dealing 74 damage per explosion, and dealing some extra damage to buildings and structures.
The only problem with these eggs is that they take a while before exploding , so it’s easy to avoid them. Hence why this weapon is very effective in close combat, where you know your opponent doesn’t have many chances to run away.
Charge Shotgun
The Charge Shotgun works like a usual shotgun, dealing 95 damage per shell if all the pellets land on the enemy , but it’s a very slow shotgun that has to be pumped and has a very slow reload time. Nonetheless, you can also charge the shotgun to deal extra damage.
You charge it by holding the shot button, and the shotgun will charge for a second. After this time, it’ll release a very powerful shot that will deal 200 damage per shell if all the pellets land on the enemy.
It’s very risky to charge the shotgun mid-battle , but the reward is incredible. You can mix this shotgun with the Blue Egg to get some high ground and avoid being shot while charging the shotgun.
Flint-Knock Pistol
This is a special pistol that uses Heavy Bullets and deals 90 damage per bullet, and its only setback is that it has a very slow reload time and will knock you back. The great thing is that it’ll also knock the enemy back if it lands on it.
It’s not an effective Pistol in mid or long-distance battles, yet it’s great to use in close combat as it can help you get some distance from the enemy.
Pizza Party
The Pizza Party it's a healing item that pops out of the vault whenever Fortnite has an important date , like its birthday, or an event like the Spring Breakout.
This tool is a deployable item that, as you place it, will reveal eight pizza slices that can heal you. It doesn’t heal as much as a Medical Kit, just as much as any other food, but it’s good to carry one when you are playing with your team and want to heal all of your teammates.
New and Unvaulted Augments
The Augments are real game-changers in Fortnite, as you can win if you have enough luck to receive the Augments you need to advance in a match. Thankfully, Fortnite keeps rotating these Augments, so there are always new perks to discover here and there.
So, with this Spring Breakout, Fortnite decided to create some new Augments for us to enjoy. Here’s a list of the new Augments and their effects in combat:
Go for Broke
|
This Augment will give you a Flint-Knock Pistol and a Charge Shotgun.
---|---
Springtime Blowout
|
This Augment will give you an Egg Launcher.
Aquatic Warrior
|
You’ll get healed whenever you swim .
Rail Warrior
|
You’ll get healed, and your shields will get restored whenever you step on a rail or use a zipline .
Game Time
|
With this Augment, you’ll receive a Pizza Party .
Aside from these new Augments, two Augments we have seen in Chapter 4 Season 1 got unvaulted:
Exotic Grab Bag
|
If you activate this Augment, you’ll receive a random Heisted Weapon .
---|---
Icy Slide
|
After sliding, you’ll get your feet frozen , which will increase your speed but will mess up your mobility. It’s ideal for running away from battles.
