The Fortnite 25.30 update is here to deliver even more content to Chapter 4 Season 3, including another anime crossover with Jujutsu Kaisen. Here are the full patch notes for Fortnite v25.30.

Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 3 is coming to an end, with Chapter 4 Season 4 due to kick off on August 25. However, the devs have ensured the fresh content is still coming thick and fast, with Futurama skins arriving with the 25.20 patch.

Next up is the Fortnite 25.30 update, which brings yet another intriguing crossover with an iconic anime to keep players satisfied until the new season.

Here are the complete patch notes for the Fortnite 25.30 update, breaking down everything included.

Fortnite 25.30 brings Jujutsu Kaisen crossover

Epic Games have confirmed that the Fortnite 25.30 update brings a collaboration with popular anime Jujutsu Kaisen. A teaser trailer announcing the crossover revealed four new skins are included: Yuji Itadori, Satoru Gojo, Nobara Kugisaki, and Megumi Fushiguro.

Yuri is available through the premium track of a special Event Pass, which sees players completing challenges to earn Cursed Energy to level up and unlock exclusive rewards. Meanwhile, Satoru, Nobara, and Megumi can be purchased from the store.

Here are the full Fortnite 25.30 update patch notes as shared by Epic Games, explaining the Jujutsu Kaisen crossover and everything else included:

Destroy Cursed Llamas to learn cursed techniques. While using these techniques and battling in other ways, complete Break the Curse! Quests for cosmetic and level up rewards in the free reward track, including the Shadow Play: Toad Emote

Want more rewards as you complete the Quests of each jujutsu sorcerer grade? Purchase the Premium Reward Track upgrade for an extra layer of rewards, including the Yuji Itadori Outfit. (Receive the Streetwear Yuji Itadori Outfit upon purchasing the Premium Reward Track upgrade.) Also, compete in the Jujutsu Kaisen Cup on August 11 for an opportunity to earn a special Spray and Emoticons based on Jujutsu Kaisen.

Yuji isn’t the only Jujutsu High sorcerer debuting in Fortnite — the Outfits for Yuji’s classmates Megumi Fushiguro and Nobara Kugisaki, and teacher Satoru Gojo, are available in the Item Shop starting now! Get more info on Break the Curse! below.

Learn from Llamas: Cursed Techniques

Cursed Llamas are roaming on the Island — break one and it’ll drop two cursed techniques: Straw Doll Technique and Hollow Technique: Purple.

Straw Doll Technique

The Straw Doll Technique is a swift hammer combo that launches nails filled with cursed energy. Use this technique to help nail in your win!

Hollow Technique: Purple

Often referred to as just “Purple,” this cursed technique is a secret combination of cursed techniques that erases buildings in its path and deals damage over time to enemies.

Break the Curse! Quests

Completing Break the Curse! Quests will earn you Cursed Energy. There are Break the Curse! Quests for battling on the Battle Royale Island and earning XP in creator-made islands. The more Cursed Energy you earn, the more in-game rewards you’ll unlock! Navigate to the Break the Curse! tab in the Lobby to keep track of your Cursed Energy and remaining rewards. 
On this screen, you’ll notice the free reward track and the Premium Reward Track upgrade which is unlockable for a fee. The free reward track contains 11 unlockable rewards, including the Shadow Play: Toad Emote as the final reward.

If you purchase the Premium Reward Track upgrade, you’ll unlock extra rewards as you unlock rewards in the free reward track (without having to complete additional Quests). The Premium Reward Track upgrade is purchasable for 1,000 V-Bucks and contains 11 unlockable rewards. Upon purchasing the Premium Reward Track upgrade, you’ll automatically receive the Streetwear Yuji Itadori Outfit:

The final reward of the Premium Reward Track upgrade is the Yuji Itadori Outfit, featuring Yuji’s Jujutsu High uniform.

Go Up in the Grades

The Break the Curse! Quests start at the Grade 4 level of Jujutsu High standards, and will progress up to the Special Grade level! Each grade level’s Quests will go live sequentially and be available until August 25 at 2 AM ET:

  • The Grade 4 Quests are live starting now.
  • The Grade 3 Quests go live August 10 at 9 AM ET.
  • The Grade 2 Quests go live August 15 at 9 AM ET.
  • The Grade 1 Quests and Special Grade Quests go live August 17 at 9 AM ET.

Upon completing a certain number of Quests in a grade, you’ll receive the token for that grade. Get five tokens to unlock the Nue Glider

Please note that the Break the Curse! free reward track items, Premium Reward Track upgrade items, and Nue Glider are not exclusive to Break the Curse!, and they may become purchasable in the Item Shop at a later date.

Jujutsu Kaisen Cup

Don’t just go up in the grades, go up in the competition too. Taking place on August 11, the Jujutsu Kaisen Cup is a Duos Zero Build tournament where you can compete to be among the top point-earning players in your region, unlocking the Good Boy Kon Emoticon

If your duo gets three eliminations in the tournament, your jujutsu sorcery skills will be rewarded with the Gojo’s Eye Emoticon. Also, all players who earn at least eight points will earn the Yuji’s Training Spray!

Competitors can play up to ten matches within their region’s three-hour time window, and the specific event timing for each region can be found in the “Compete” tab in-game. (Remember: Once a player participates in a region in any competitive event during Chapter 4 Season 3, they will be locked to that region for any subsequent session for that event, and all sessions for future events in the Season.)
