How to Identify a Donut Storm in Fortnite Chapter 6: Solving The Simpsons

Select Language:

With the latest Fortnite update, a new danger arrives from above in the form of sweet, tasty treats. These heavy baked goods can be very dangerous if you’re caught in their path, but you can’t avoid the Donut Storm forever if you want to complete all your quests.

To finish part two of the Springfield Stories quests, you’ll need to survive a Donut Storm while collecting quest items and fighting off enemies. Here’s what you need to know about Donut Storms in Fortnite Chapter 6, The Simpsons.

How To Find A Donut Storm In Fortnite

Donut Storms don’t appear immediately. You need to wait until a few storm circles have passed. They usually spawn during storm circle three, so stay alert as the third storm begins to close in.

You can identify the Donut Storm in several ways:

A location marker will show if you’re far enough away, indicating the direction.
Your mini-map will display an icon for Donut Storms, represented by pink sprinkle donuts—classic Simpsons style.
When inside the Storm, a warning from Homer will pop up, showing him being hit on the head with a donut.

Note: The timing of Donut Storms might change or increase as more players try to complete quests related to them. Currently, some players find it tough to locate the donuts quickly enough to finish their tasks.

The donuts don’t fall for long, so be quick if you’re far away and want to see it. The best way to reach the storm when doing quests is by using vehicles or traversal items. You can also:

Head to an NPC that offers Rifts.
Grab Impulse Grenades.
Land near the Power Plant or Tire Fire to use redeployment.

How To Survive The Donut Storm

Part two of the Springfield Stories quests requires you to stay inside the storm while doing three things:

Survive 30 seconds within the storm.
Deal 100 damage to opponents during that time.
Find three “dangerous objects” (weapons) inside the storm.

Getting the weapons can sometimes be tricky; you might need to try more than once. Wait for each weapon to be fully registered before moving on to the next task.

The hardest part is avoiding being hit by a falling donut while searching for weapons or fighting opponents. It takes just two hits from a falling donut to knock you out, so keep moving and watch where you’re going.

Using a Blinky Fish or Slurpee is helpful because they boost your movement speed, helping you dodge debris. Surviving the 30 seconds is straightforward if you keep moving instead of standing still. Hiding inside buildings or under stairs won’t work, as donuts break through everything. Be especially careful near gas stations, as those can explode if hit.

Stay alert, keep moving, and watch for falling donuts to stay safe inside the storm.
