How to find Bouncy Eggs in Fortnite Spring Breakout to unlock free pickaxe

The Legendary Quest in Fortnite Season 6 is asking players to hunt for Bouncy Eggs.

The Easter eggs are hidden all over the island and can help you unlock the Tactical Quaxes pickaxe.

The Bouncy Eggs are part of an event called Spring Breakout.

They’ll also be a one-off tournament called the Spring Breakout Cup.

This weeks challenge is all about finding the Bouncy Eggs to get your hands on the Tactical Quaxes pickaxe and earning XP.

The eggs are now live on the platform and will appear on the floor as loot.

You’ll just need to keep your eyes peeled and do some exploring if you want to find some.

According to Dexerto.com there are “three bushes situated between Coral Castle and Stealthy Stronghold which are all surrounded by eggs.”

Bouncy Eggs count as consumables and when your character eats them they’ll get low gravity abilities, which means extra high jumping.

The eggs will also increase your shield.

You’ll need 10 of the colourful eggs to unlock the free pickaxe.

Don’t stop there though as collecting even more eggs will get you even more XP.

What is Fortnite, anyway?

FORTNITE is an online video game played by up to 250 million people across the world.

In it, 100 players compete on their own or with a small group of pals to grab weapons, gather resources and build defences, before fighting it out to be the last man (or team) standing.

Matches take about 20 minutes, and you can drop into a new game within seconds of your previous one finishing.

It’s bright, it’s cartoony and it’s fiendishly compelling.

Skill is rewarded but luck also plays a huge role, meaning no two games are ever the same and everyone feels like they have a chance of winning.

Fortnite has also made its developer billions.

In Europe it’s rated 12+, meaning it’s suitable for those aged 12 and up.

The battle royale mode is free to play, but there is also a story-driven single player and co-op mode called Save The World that players have to pay for.

Pop culture crossover events are very common because of the game’s huge audience.

These involve players being able to buy themed outfits for the movie, TV show or brand, as well as getting some themed activities in-game to do too.

These might be new places to explore, new challenges to complete to win themed accessories, or new game modes that are loosely related to the theme of whatever is being crossed over with.


In other gaming news, Call of Duty has received a huge new update with loads of fresh content.

The Sun’s favourite alternative to a games console is the Oculus Quest 2 VR headset.
