Fortnite fans are buzzing after the shocking launch of the Fortnite x Simpsons update, version 38.11.
The jaw-dropping patch introduces a chaotic wave of Homer Simpson clones to the island and activates the official countdown to the season’s finale event, leaving players speechless.
Springfield landmarks are now swarmed by Homer clones, NPCs that aggressively chase players and drop loot when defeated.
The clones spawn in waves, often triggered by destroying donut-shaped piñatas scattered across the map, creating viral chaos that fans are calling “unreal.”
Homer’s Makeup Shotgun
Alongside the invasion, Homer’s Makeup Shotgun has been unvaulted.
This powerful double-barreled weapon delivers two heavy bursts of damage but comes with a slow reload speed, encouraging aggressive close-quarters combat.
Players can find the shotgun in standard chests, floor loot, or special Springfield supply drops.
Zero Hour Countdown
A new Zero Hour countdown timer now appears at major Points of Interest across the island.
Ticking down in real-time, the clock builds hype for the jaw-dropping Chapter 6 finale live event, which will immediately launch Chapter 7.
Winter Rush Quests
Epic Games also activated the Party Up Winter Rush quests, requiring players to team up with friends to complete objectives.
Rewards include seasonal cosmetics, culminating in an exclusive Cuddle Bear outfit. The event runs only until November 29, adding urgency to the emotional community challenge.
Fans React to the Shocking Update
Social media lit up with viral reactions after the update dropped.
One fan wrote: “Fortnite leaves me speechless — Homer clones chasing me is shocking and hilarious.” Another added: “This is the Jeff Bezos mansion of updates. Lavish, chaotic, and unforgettable.”
Why It Hits Harder
