Springfield crashes into Fortnite as the November 11 update brings a full Simpsons crossover-new Mythic powers, chaotic Donut Storms, and surprises hidden across the island. Here’s everything shaking up the new season.
However, Homer has now gone rogue with the Zero Shard remote and has unleashed a Donut Storm on the island. To tackle the falling donuts from the sky, Epic has added the right arsenal to the loot pool and introduced some new features that make the gameplay even more chaotic across Battle Royale and Zero Build lobbies. If you’re looking for everything that’s added with this update in Fortnite, here are the full patch notes.
Fortnite Update 38.10 Simpsons Season Full Patch Notes
Fortnite Update 38.10 brings the long-awaited Simpsons Season, adding new mythic items, themed locations, and special challenges inspired by Springfield. Players can collect Homer’s Donut Launcher, face the chaotic Donut Storm event, and explore iconic landmarks like Moe’s Tavern and the Kwik-E-Mart. The update also introduces fresh cosmetics, limited-time quests, and balancing changes that refine both Battle Royale and Creative modes.
New Mythic Weapons
Six new weapons and one item have been introduced to the Fortnite loot pool in the Simpsons Season in the latest patch. These are – Five Gun, Cartoon Chainsaw, Embiggened Assault Rifle, Dragon’s Belch Shotgun, Red-Eye Caramba AR, Tamzarian Twin Mag SMG, and Mutated Tomatoes.
While we currently only know how to get the Cartoon Chainsaw, we’ll keep you updated on how to get the rest of the weapons right here.
New Skins and Sidekicks
Alongside the new weapons, several new skins and sidekicks have also been added. Among the latest skins, Lisa and Moe finally get an Item Shop release as the Simpsons season marches on in Fortnite.
Furthermore, three new Sidekicks, including an adorable Chihuahua, will also be soon released in the Item Shop, hinting there are many more kinds of pets you’re yet to see in the game.
Mortal Kombat Blitz Takeover
A new Fortnite Blitz takeover has arrived with Mortal Kombat items added to the loot pool. The takeover is live as of now, and no end date has been revealed yet.
Here are all the items added so far – Dual Pistol, Hammer Pump Shotgun, Scorpion’s Kombat Kit, Silenced Pistol, Sub-Zero’s Kombat Kit, and Wrecker Revolver.
Battle Pass Super Styles Unlocked
Fortnite Simpsons Battle Pass Super Styles are now available to unlock on Page 2 of Bonus Rewards. Four skins featuring Green Reactor Waste for Marge, Fishstick, Ned Flanders and Homer have been added.
These styles can be unlocked once you surpass level 50 and enter the Bonus Rewards page on the pass. You can read our Battle Pass article to have a glance at all the rewards you can unlock.
Scratchy Boss Arrives
A new boss has arrived on the Fortnite island, and it’s none other than Scratchy! You can find a Scratchy television as a random spawn on the map, and once you’re closer to one, you’ll notice an icon of the TV on the mini-map.
Walk closer and interact with the television, and suddenly Scratchy will pop out of the TV with a chainsaw and chase you. Defeat him to get the mythic Cartoon Chainsaw item.
Watch Out for Donut Storm!
Donut Storms have been enabled and randomly during a Fortnite Battle Royale match you’ll see donuts falling from the sky around multiple areas on the island.
Watch out if you’re inside the Donut Storm area, as if any of the donut falls on you can deal some serious damage to your health bar, and can even eliminate you completely.
Live Event Countdown
The current Fortnite update has added event files for the Chapter 6 finale event and as per dataminers, players will see an event countdown on the Springfield Town Square POI right above Jebediah’s statue.
As of now, the timer is disabled, and leakers speculate this would be enabled sometime next week or a week before the live event takes place on November 29, at 2 PM ET.

How to get the Cartoon Chainsaw mythic
To get the Cartoon Chainsaw mythic in Fortnite’s Simpsons Season, defeat the Scratchy Boss. This weapon drops directly from him after victory.
Finding Scratchy
Scratchy spawns from interactable, flickering TVs playing Itchy & Scratchy clips, marked on the mini-map across the map. Approach any such TV and hold the interact button to summon him-he’ll emerge wielding his own chainsaw and attack immediately.
Defeating the Boss
Equip close-range weapons and max shields beforehand, as Scratchy’s melee attacks hit hard. Once eliminated, he drops the Cartoon Chainsaw (Epic rarity, but mythic-tier power with high damage, mobility via riding, and chopping utility) alongside other loot.
Other Sources
Rarely, the Chainsaw appears in random chests, but boss fights guarantee it. It ties into the v38.10 November 11, 2025, update during the Simpsons collaboration.
Where to find the flickering TVs that summon Scratchy
Flickering TVs that summon Scratchy spawn randomly across the Springfield Island map in Fortnite’s Simpsons Season. They appear between the 1st and 5th storm circles, with higher chances near Springfield Town Square.
Identification Tips
Look for TVs playing Itchy & Scratchy clips with a glitched, flickering screen-you’ll hear the theme music nearby. An icon marks Scratchy’s potential spawn on the mini-map once you’re within 100 meters.
Hotspot Areas
Players report frequent spawns around Springfield Town Square, Cletus’ Cornhole (top-left near gas station), Evergreen Terrace, and Clay’s Clone Ho. Drive or vehicle around post-landing, constantly checking the map for the icon.
Summon Process
Approach the TV, hold the interact button (e.g., square on PlayStation) to investigate-Scratchy bursts out wielding his chainsaw. Prepare shields and close-range weapons beforehand.
