The second weekly update for the Fortnite Simpsons season is finally here. This one brings a huge wave of Homer clones across the island. Players can also see the first version of the big countdown that leads to the season finale. Here is everything added in the November 19 v38.11 update in a simple way.
Springfield is now filled with wandering Homer clones. They walk around causing small bits of trouble. If you get too close they might even chase you. They appear in waves and drop light loot when you defeat them. You can spawn them by breaking the donut pinatas. More clones will also start showing up in other landmarks as the season continues.
Homer’s new Makeup Shotgun has also arrived. It is a strong close-range weapon and fits Homer’s messy style. It fires two heavy shots that hit hard but reloads slowly to keep it balanced. You can find it in chests, floor loot and in special Springfield drops.
A new countdown timer is live on the island. It is the first version of the Zero Hour timer for the end of Chapter 6. You can see it from major points of interest and it updates in real time. Small teasers and map effects will appear as the clock gets close to zero. When the countdown ends, Chapter 7 will begin.
Winter Rush quests are now available. These quests give quick XP but must be done with friends in a party. Each milestone unlocks a winter themed reward and the final prize is the Cuddle Bear skin. The event stays active until November 29 so players have enough time to complete everything.
The update also brings new F1 cars and racers to the item shop. This includes the Ferrari F40 and other Formula One inspired cosmetics like pickaxes and gliders. The map also has small changes, including purple water spreading around Springfield. New sidekicks and more shop items are also on the way.
The island is crowded, loud and chaotic this week. So get ready to grab your shotgun and clear out those Homer clones.
