Fortnite Simpsons Season November 11 Update Patch Notes: New Mythics, Donut Storm, and More

The first big update for Fortnite's Simpsons season has finally dropped, bringing a bunch of fresh features and quality of life improvements that spice up the chaos Homer ignited on the island with the Zero Shard. But now things have gotten wilder – Homer’s gone rogue with the Zero Shard remote and has unleashed a Donut Storm, raining donuts down all over the map. To balance this madness, Epic added new weapons to the loot pool and introduced some gameplay tweaks that make every match feel even more unpredictable whether you’re playing Battle Royale or Zero Build. Speaking of new gear, the patch introduced six new mythic weapons and an item. Players can now find the Five Gun, Cartoon Chainsaw, Embiggened Assault Rifle, Dragon’s Belch Shotgun, Red-Eye Caramba AR, Tamzarian Twin Mag SMG, and Mutated Tomatoes scattered around the island. While the Cartoon Chainsaw’s acquisition method is known, the rest are still a bit mysterious for now. Along with weapons, new skins and sidekicks have hit the Item Shop. Fans get to see Lisa and Moe finally available to snag, and three new Sidekicks including a super cute Chihuahua hint at even more pets coming to Fortnite soon. Adding to the crossover craziness, a Mortal Kombat Blitz takeover is in full swing, introducing a fresh crop of themed weapons like the Dual Pistol, Hammer Pump Shotgun, and Scorpion’s Kombat Kit to the loot pool. The takeover event is live with no announced end date, giving players plenty of time to grab these iconic items. On the cosmetic front, the Battle Pass now offers Super Styles on Page 2 of Bonus Rewards, featuring Green Reactor Waste variants for Marge, Fishstick, Ned Flanders, and Homer. These new styles unlock once you’ve reached level 50 and progressed to the Bonus Rewards section. A nasty new boss has also appeared on the island: Scratchy. You can spot random Scratchy TVs spawning across the map, and when you get close, Scratchy bursts out with a chainsaw to give you a chase. Taking him down rewards you with the mythic Cartoon Chainsaw, making the hunt worth it. But watch your step during Donut Storms! Randomly triggered during matches, these storms rain donuts that deal serious damage if they hit you, so being caught outside or careless could end your run quick. Lastly, the update also preps for the upcoming Chapter 6 finale event, with dataminers discovering event files and a countdown on the Springfield Town Square POI, above Jebediah’s statue. The timer isn’t active yet, but it’s expected to kick in about a week before the event slated for November 29 at 2 PM ET. Also, a new feature for creators lets them assign actual V-Bucks prices to items in their UEFN games, making in-game purchases a thing in creator-made content too. All in all, this update ramps up the fun and chaos, so jump back in and see how you survive the Donut Storms!
