Fortnite's The Simpsons mini-season, which runs throughout November, takes Battle Royale to an entirely new map sprinkled with famous landmarks from the TV show.
Fortnite's Springfield is smaller than the usual Battle Royale maps and only 80 players drop in rather than the usual 100. The zones close slightly faster than normal, too.
The map can be confusing at first: this mini-season has lots of new mechanics and reheats older ideas from previous seasons. Understanding all of them—and knowing where to land—will set you up for a victory royale.
Here's everything you need to know about the map, with a list of strong landing spots at the end of this article.
Fortnite Simpsons map in full
Here's the full map: if you've watched the show, you'll recognise plenty of the points of interest (POIs).
As you'll see, all the water on the map is purple, and swimming in it grants you a zero dash ability for a short while: it's basically a blink-style teleport when you press jump twice.
The Power Plant area, in the top right, also has a permanent low-gravity effect.
And at Cletus' Corn hole, you'll find tomato fields where, if you interact with a basket, you'll find fruit that heals you for 20 health when you throw it at the ground, and also reduces gravity for you.
Fortnite Simpsons important POIs
Fortnite Simpsons boss spawns for Homer, Marge, Moe, and Krusty the Clown, and Scratchy
Four Simpsons bosses spawn per round: evil versions of Marge, Homer, Moe, and Krusty the Clown. One each will spawn at the end of the first, second, third, and fourth circles, and the order appears to be randomized. You'll only see them appear on your map if they're near you.
Each of them drops exotic or mythic weapons that are among the best weapons in Fortnite right now.
Unlike with most Fortnite bosses and mini bosses, they do not have set spawn locations, and can pretty much appear everywhere on the map, so you can't plan to hunt down a particular boss.
Technically, there are set locations for boss spawns, according to the Fortnite platform Osirion, which plotted the possible spots on a map and posted the image on X.

As you can see, there are so many spots, and the probabilities are so even, that your best bet is just to land at your favorite drop spot and hope you see the boss nearby.
There is a fifth boss: Scratchy, who works differently. To summon him you have to interact with a TV that's playing the Itchy & Scratchy show—he'll spring out and attack you. Defeat him to get the cartoon chainsaw, a mobility item.
Mythic weapons from Homer's donuts in Fortnite Simpsons
As well as the bosses, you can get mythic weapons from destroying Homer's donuts, which spawn randomly on the map. These are large, single donuts surrounded by Homer clones, and are not to be confused with the donut storms (which I talk about further down).
Look out for the below marker on your map, go there, and shoot the donut until it bursts.
When it bursts, it'll drop one of four mythic weapons, chosen at random. Be careful of the Homer clones that surround the donuts, because they can box you in and kill you.
Those mythics are:
- Dragon’s Belch shotgun: Tons of damage up close, but you only get one shot before it slowly reloads.
- Embiggened assault rifle: A versatile rifle with a higher-than-normal headshot multiplier
- Tamzarian twin mag SMG: Fast firing, hard hitting and the twin mag makes every other reload faster.
- Red-Eye Caramba assault rifle: Probably the best of the bunch: a slow-firing but powerful assault rifle with a red-dot scope. It's the only first-person weapon in the season.
Fortnite Simpsons radio tower locations
This mini-season brings back radio forecast towers—whoever activates them gets to see the next circle for the rest of the game. To activate them you need to kill three guards, grab an access card from their bodies, and slot it into the tower.
There are four possible forecast towers, one each in the north, east, south and west extremes of the map. Only two spawn per round during the second zone, and it's either the north and south towers or the east and west towers. You can see them from the air, so as you're falling from the battle bus try to work out which two have spawned.
The four possible locations are marked on the map below, which I've made in fortnite.gg, an excellent map tracker that shows you where everything spawns.
Jebediah's Protective Helm location in Fortnite Simpsons
Jebediah's Protective Helm is a mythic item that only spawns in one location on the map. When you pick it up your character wears it and it protects you from a single headshot, be that a full shotgun blast or a little plink from an SMG. It will fall off your head and, after a short cooldown, you can put it on again.
You can get this mythic helm by heading to the middle of the map and whacking the statue in Springfield Town Square with your pickaxe. Be careful: your rough location will be marked on everyone's map, similar to the medallions from previous seasons.
Where to find Steamed Hams and Krusty burgers in the Fortnite Simpsons
The Krusty burgers are some of the best healing items in Fortnite right now. They heal you for 10 health and 30 shields over time after you eat them, and the effect stacks, getting you very quickly to full shield.
You can find burgers in chests but you can eat a bunch, and grab a full stack of three of them, from platters of Steamed Hams, which spawn in specific locations.
They can spawn in eight different POIs—The map below, courtesy of fortnite.gg, shows where they are. For more detail head to that website, toggle the burgers on in the map filters, and zoom in.
Donut Storms in Fortnite Simpsons
In a recent update, Epic removed supply drops from the Fortnite Simpsons season and added donut storms. Glazed donuts will fall from the sky in areas of the map marked pink: you'll be able to see where each donut is about to hit. Avoid them, because they can deal damage, but once the storm is over you can scour the area for decent loot.
There's no way to predict where they'll appear, so just keep an eye out.
Fortnite Simpsons season best drop spots
Best drop spots in Fortnite Simpsons season
Okay, so you now know all the essentials of the map. But where exactly should you land?
The size of the map, and the density of chests at most locations, means that most landing spots are viable and busy. The big named POIs will be the most hectic, of course, but even the chests at smaller locations will be contested.
For that reason I don't think you should overthink your landing spot. If you have a favorite, stick to it, and learn the locations of chests (fortnite.gg is your friend, there).
I do, however, think that hitting the radio forecast towers is worth it, because knowing where the zone is going to pull in the late game can earn you a victory crown. Remember, the towers spawn in pairs: either the north and south spawn, or the east and west. If you drop near any of these locations you'll know which have spawned: for example, if you're dropping on Evergreen Terrace and see the west tower hasn't spawned, you know the north one has, so you can head there during the second zone.
With all that said, here are five locations I've enjoyed landing at this mini season.
Boardwalk near Corruption Corners
A slightly quieter drop spot that is still packed with chests. It has two possible Steamed Ham spawns (the two buildings below the mark I've made on the map, and the one opposite it), so land on one of them, munch some burgers, and gear up quickly. When you're ready you ambush anyone leaving Corruption Corners or head west towards the radio tower, if it's spawned that round.
House east of Springfield Town Square
This house has two Steamed Ham spawns and six chest spawns, while the building next to it has a handful of guaranteed chests. Its central location gives you plenty of options for where to go next.
Island east of the power plant
It's slightly out of the way, but there are plenty of chests here plus a steamed hams spawn in the far east building. Also, if you angle your drop right, you can try to see whether the east or north radio towers are in action.
Camp Krusty Steamed Hams
Camp Krusty is a busy drop but if you can make it to the building marked above first you'll come away with the best loot in the area, including some Krusty Burgers. If the camp looks way too busy as you're dropping in, veer west to the ridge above the camp: there's enough chests there to get started.
Donut District beach
I love spawning here: it's usually uncontested and you get tons of chest loot plus a smattering of slurp barrels for extra shields. When I'm done, I usually head to Donut District to catch any stragglers.
