A brand new Fortnite Fortnite Creative v24.10 update has arrived and brings with a host of new features and big fixes.

New additions include the Channel device, the Nitro Drifter vehicle, Spring chickens and consumable item eggs, the Egg Launcher weapon and new options in My Island.

Here’s the complete list of what’s included in the patch:

• Channel Device: “It takes a signal and sends it forward. You can use this functionality to link one group of devices to another group of devices in a way that is similar to the old channel system”.
• Nitro Drifter: Get ready to drift! The Nitro Drifter vehicle is ready to use in your racing islands. This car seats four to encourage social play in many types of games.
• Wildlife spawner update – new spring chickens: Green and purple chickens have been added to the Wildlife Spawner device! Like their Fortnite Battle Royale counterparts, these brightly colored chickens lay Heal Eggs and Hop Eggs.
• Heal egg and hop egg consumables: Heal Eggs and Hop Eggs are laid by green and purple chickens, but the eggs can also be placed in Chests or dropped by AI enemies. The Heal Egg restores Health and Shield slowly over time, and the Hop Egg restores some Health and temporarily gives players a low gravity effect
• Egg launcher: A Launcher weapon launches explosive eggs.

There are new options in My Island also. The following new Energy Options are now available:

• Energy Max

• Energy Recharge Delay

• Energy Recharge Amount

These settings will influence any game element that uses Energy, such as sprinting, sliding, and certain special movement types associated with melee weapons.

• The Edit Mode – Enable Pickaxe option is also now available in the Settings tab of My Island.
• The UI tab of My Island has three more Edit Mode options:
  • Edit Mode HUD – Show Health and Shield
  • Edit Mode HUD – Show UI Under Minimap
  • Edit Mode HUD – Show Resources

Below is a complete list of bug fixes.
