With Fortnite's newest crossover update, Springfield's most iconic snack has turned into one of the island's greatest hazards. Donut Storms, a chaotic weather event made up of massive falling pastries, now threaten players brave enough to face them. While these sugary projectiles look harmless, anyone caught underneath will quickly discover just how dangerous dessert can be. 

To advance through the second part of the Springfield Stories questline, players must locate and endure one of these donut-filled disasters while collecting items and battling other contenders. Here's a detailed guide on how to find and survive the Donut Storms in Fortnite Chapter 6: The Simpsons.

How to Find a Donut Storm

Donut Storms do not appear immediately after the match begins. Instead, they spawn later in the game, once the third storm circle has finished closing. As the second storm phase ends and the third begins, stay alert—this is the time when the sky might start raining donuts.

There are several indicators that help you locate a Donut Storm:

●A world marker will appear if you're far away from the event, directing you toward its location.

●Your mini-map displays a pink donut icon covered in sprinkles, representing the storm zone.

●When you get close, a pop-up featuring Homer Simpson getting hit by a donut will appear on-screen as a warning.

For newer players struggling to get the best gear quickly, some may even consider options to buy Fortnite account with a large of V-Bucks from Z2U to jumpstart their progression. While not necessary, it can help you arrive better prepared for chaotic events like Donut Storms.

At the moment, Donut Storms can be somewhat rare, and many players have reported difficulties encountering them before matches end. Epic Games may adjust their frequency later to help players complete associated quests more easily.

Since these storms last only a short while, speed is essential. If the storm appears far from you, make use of quick transportation methods. Vehicles, Rift services offered by certain NPCs, Impulse Grenades, or glider redeploy points like the Power Plant and Tire Fire areas can all help you reach the event in time.

How to Survive the Donut Storm

For the second section of the Springfield Stories quest, players must remain within the Donut Storm and complete three objectives:

1.Stay inside the Donut Storm for 30 seconds.

2.Deal 100 damage to enemies within the storm.

3.Pick up three "dangerous objects"—in this case, weapons—within the storm's boundaries.

Be aware that the third objective may occasionally bug out; if it doesn't register, try picking up each weapon one at a time and waiting for it to count before proceeding.

Avoiding falling donuts is your biggest challenge. These airborne sweets are deadly: two direct hits are enough to eliminate you. Constant movement is key—standing still is a quick path to defeat. Healing or speed-boosting items such as Blinky Fish or Slurpee can help you dodge debris and recover from minor hits.

Players who have already invested in cosmetics or upgrades might want to top up Fortnite V-Bucks at Z2U.com before heading into these high-risk areas, ensuring they have access to useful consumables or special items to survive longer.

It might seem smart to hide under a roof, staircase, or inside a tall structure, but that won't protect you. Donuts smash through all materials, destroying cover and buildings alike. Even rooftops or construction pieces offer no safety. Most importantly, steer clear of gas stations during the storm, as the explosions from falling donuts can easily wipe you out.

To successfully complete the survival task, focus on mobility and awareness. Keep your camera angled upward to track falling objects, and use traversal tools to reposition quickly. If you must fight opponents inside the storm, try using close-range weapons since visibility is poor and long-range aim becomes unreliable under constant bombardment.

Conclusion

Donut Storms combine chaos, humor, and danger into one wild event worthy of The Simpsons. Reaching one requires good timing and fast travel, while surviving demands quick reflexes and mobility. Stay alert, keep moving, and you'll not only outlast the donut downpour—you'll also check off another milestone in your Springfield questline.
