Fortnite update 25.30 patch notes
Jujutsu Kaisen crossover
Fortnite revealed a crossover with the popular anime series Jujutsu Kaisen in a video announcement posted on X last week. The crossover has finally arrived in the game with the latest update 25.30.
The crossover brings Item Shop cosmetic outfits of Satoru, Megumi, and Nobara, as well as accessories such as a Back Bling and Pickaxe. However, the crossover also brings a mini-pass event called Break The Curse! which is similar to Star Wars: Find the Force that grants players free cosmetic items as well as a mythic item in the loot pool.
Players can get Cursed Energy via completing event related quests. There are Break the Curse! rewards available upon completing quests in Battle Royale and gaining XP on islands created in UEFN. More in-game rewards are unlocked the more Cursed Energy you earn.
For an additional 1,000 V-Bucks, players can purchase the Break the Curse! premium reward track and receive the Streetwear Yuji Itadori Outfit and The Yuji Itadori Outfit upon completion of the pass.
In addition, upon completing certain quests and redeeming all rewards, players will receive The Shadow Play: Toad Emote and Nue Glider. When Chapter 4 Season 3 concludes on August 25, 2023, the mini-pass event will conclude as well.
Jujutsu Kaisen Cup
Along with the mini-pass event, comes a tournament themed around the Jujutsu Kaisen x Fortnite crossover. The tournament is called the Jujutsu Kaisen cup and will take place on August 11, 2023.
The format of the Fortnite tournament will be Duos Zero Build and top players in each region will be granted the Good Boy Kon Emoticon for free. If your duo gets three eliminations in the tournament, you will be rewarded with the Gojo’s Eye Emoticon for free.
Moreover, those who score at least eight points in the entire tournament will earn a free Yuji’s Training Spray.
New augment
Every Fortnite content update introduces a new set of Augments to the game. With the release of the Futurama update, players gained access to two new Augments that enhanced the ability of their pistols and scoped weapons.
Now, with the new 25.30 update, players can receive the unvaulted Dragon’s Breath Shotgun and Dragon’s Breath Sniper, by activating the new Fire Armory augment now available in the Reality Augments roll.
New Mythic items
With patch 25.30, Bender’s Shiny Metal Raygun has permanently removed from the game, as players no longer have access to it. Nonetheless, two new mythic items called Hollow Purple and Straw Doll Technique have now been added to the game that tie in with the Jujutsu Kaisen crossover.
The Hollow Purple is a massive energy blast that obliterates any buildings in its way and deals damage to enemies over time. On the other hand, the Straw Doll Technique mythic is a swift hammer combo that launches nails filled with cursed energy at enemies.
These mythic items are available through Cursed Llamas now floating around the island. Break one and it will drop the two items for you to use in a Fortnite match.
Upcoming WWE crossover leaked
Ahead of the latest 25.30 update, an upcoming WWE crossover in was leaked by BarbieharpFN which will soon bring cosmetic skins of wrestlers Becky Lynch and Bianca Belair to the game. Moreover, the crossover was confirmed once WWE’s official Instagram page posted photos of wrestlers Becky Lynch and Bianca Belair wielding recognizable Fortnite pickaxes.
The leaked video claims the pair will be sold in a bundle priced at 2,400 V-Bucks complete with back blings, pickaxes as well as a victory royale emote which lets you lift the WWE belt.
New skins and cosmetics
With the 25.30 update, several new cosmetic outfits are also being introduced to Fortnite. In the near future, new outfits named Haxsaur, Oleander, and Harmony Lee will be added to the Item Shop, and some existing skins, such as Galaxy Crossfade and Zuri, will receive additional selectable styles.
Moreover, the update also adds certain FNCS cosmetics including a Lobby Track and a Back Bling, which will be sold in the Item Shop ahead of the upcoming Last Chance Major.
