Fortnite will have special April Fools’ event this year

Fortnite will have another April Fools’ event this year! Players who played the game in 2018 still remember Epic Games making several gameplay changes to troll players. This year, we are getting another event, and according to a recent leak, it will have quests and rewards. On top of that, the event will bring several gameplay adjustments that will be active for a day.

Considering that Epic loves playing tricks on Fortnite players, we can’t wait to see what’s in store this time. However, it’s safe to say that many players will be sent back to the lobby because of the event!

When will Fortnite have the April Fools’ event?

According to Hypex, the most reputable Fortnite leaker, Epic Games will release a limited-time event on April 1. At the moment, we don’t know when exactly it will start. However, judging from the past, we expect it to start at 9 AM Eastern Time. This is usually when new quests come out, and the event should run for 24 hours.

The Fortnite leaker reveals that Epic will add new quests and rewards, likely XP and cosmetic items. Furthermore, the game developer will release a small update on this day. Considering its size, the update may not require a long server downtime.

In 2018, Epic made Impulse Grenades more powerful by adding an extra bounce, allowing players to launch themselves further. However, these grenades don’t provide fall damage immunity, which is why many players end up dying from the fall. A similar effect was seen with the Boogie Bomb, which gave players a massive jump while they were dancing.

While the gameplay changes for this year are still a mystery, we’re excited to see what Epic has in store. Be sure to log in on April 1 and make the most of it with your friends!
