Fortnite update 3.87 has been rolled out by Epic Games during today’s maintenance window for the game. This is called the v24.20 patch, and once again brings new content to the game! Read on for everything new in the Fortnite update v24.20 patch notes below.
Fortnite Update 3.87 Patch Notes | Fortnite Update v24.20 Patch Notes:
Update: Epic Games has released the patch notes for today’s update!
The wait is over: Fortnite Battle Royale v24.20 brings the arrival of ODM Gear and Thunder Spears to the Island! (Speaking of the Island, discover Jaeger’s Family Basement in Anvil Square.)
Also, the Eren Jaeger Outfit is now unlockable in the Battle Pass. However, Eren isn’t the only member of the “Special Operations Squad”: pick up the Captain Levi and Mikasa Ackermann Outfits available now in the Item Shop!
BATTLE FROM ABOVE: ODM GEAR
Retrievable from the ground, Chests, and Scout Regiment Footlockers, put on Omni-Directional Mobility (ODM) Gear. Having this apparatus equipped will give you the ability to grapple in the air and strike opponents below! After attacking with the built-in blades, you’ll immediately boost back into the air so you can grapple elsewhere… or hover and execute another attack.
Think you’ve mastered the ODM Gear? Try knocking down Titan Targets on the Island!
FIGHT EXPLOSIVELY: THUNDER SPEARS
Also retrievable from the ground, Chests, and Scout Regiment Footlockers, Thunder Spears are arm-launched rockets designed to penetrate armored structures, detonating to damage enemies on both sides!
A Scout Regiment Footlocker, where you can find ODM Gear and/or Thunder Spears.
JAEGER’S FAMILY BASEMENT
Jaeger’s Family Basement has appeared on the Island! But just as this basement contains many secrets, its exact location in Anvil Square is a secret too. Find the location of this new nook in Anvil Square.
UNLOCK THE EREN JAEGER OUTFIT IN THE BATTLE PASS
The Eren Jaeger Outfit is now unlockable in the Battle Pass! Complete the Eren Jaeger Battle Pass Quests in Battle Royale Chapter 4 Season 2 to unlock the Outfit plus other items:
LOADING SCREEN
SPRAY, BACK BLING, EMOTE, AND PICKAXE
EMOTICON, WRAP, BANNER ICON, AND THE EREN JAEGER OUTFIT!
If you own the Chapter 4 Season 2 Battle Pass, The Eren Jaeger Quests are available to complete now in the “Quests” tab. The Quests will remain available until the end of the Season! (The Chapter 4 Season 2 Battle Pass purchase is required in order to complete the Eren Jaeger Quests.)
Whether you own the Battle Pass or not, complete an upcoming Week 5 Quest testing your Thunder Spear skills to unlock the Courageous Mikasa Spray, and complete the first of the upcoming Trigger Happy Trials to unlock the Scowling Levi Emoticon. (Please note that you need to complete the preceding “Treasure Hunting” Trials and “Process of Elimination” Trials for the Trigger Happy Trials to be available.)
THE SPECIAL OPERATIONS SQUAD SQUADS UP
Eren Jaeger isn’t alone. Two other members of the Special Operations Squad — Captain Levi and Mikasa Ackermann — are also dropping in! Available in the Item Shop now, pick up their Outfits and more:
CAPTAIN LEVI OUTFIT AND BACK BLING
“In the end, you choose what you choose.”
Included with the Captain Levi Outfit is the Transformation Serum Back Bling, a syringe holding a special serum.

A powerful treasure unique to Paradis Island, the Ore Light Back Bling is included with the Mikasa Ackermann Outfit.

FORTNITE SAVE THE WORLD | V24.10 APR 5 HOTFIX HOMEBASE STATUS REPORT
Also with this hotfix, Dungeons return and Miss Bunny Penny comes back to the Event and Weekly Store!
SCURVY SHOALS VENTURE SEASON RETURNS
Get ready for a high seas venture: the Scurvy Shoals Venture Season sails on from April 5 at 8 PM ET to June 21, 2023, at June 21 8 PM ET. In addition to the treasure-filled Pirate Llamas, here’s what to expect:
BOUNCY HUSKS
Rock the boat with the Bouncy Husks modifier! With this modifier, Husks, Huskies, and Mist Monsters will all have increased Health, but to your fortune, they’ll all be more susceptible to knockbacks, especially from ranged and melee weapons. Send those Husks back into the Storm from whence they came!
SUPER TREASURE
Loot like a real pirate. With the Super Treasure modifier, Treasure Chests filled with valuable loot will periodically drop from enemies you defeat. Rough sailing makes for strong Commanders: the tougher the enemy you defeat, the more likely a Treasure Chest will drop from it.
