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.

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.
