Here is everything included in the Fortnite v34.30 update!

Grammy Award-winning singer and songwriter Sabrina Carpenter has officially debuted in Fortnite via the v34.30 update on April 8. After a brief downtime, the game's servers returned online with Festival Season 8, featuring a new Music Pass, cosmetics, Sabrina Carpenter skins, and more.

This article outlines everything in Fortnite's latest update, including all new items and gameplay changes.

Sabrina Carpenter arrives in the Fortnite v34.30 update

Fortnite Festival Season 8 revolves around popular singer Sabrina Carpenter, who recently won two Grammy Awards. Various cosmetics themed to the musician are now available via the Music Pass and the Fortnite Item Shop.

First is the Music Pass, which features the base Sabrina Carpenter Fortnite skin. To unlock this, you must purchase the Premium version for 1,400 V-Bucks. That will automatically earn you the Babydoll Sabrina skin without any additional steps. You can unlock the other style by progressing through the Pass.

The Music Pass includes various other items, such as Jam Tracks and Instruments. Some are free, while others are only available to those who purchase the Premium upgrade.

Item Shop

Following the v34.30 update, the Tour-Ready Sabrina Carpenter skin has landed in the Fortnite Item Shop. You can purchase each item individually or the entire Bundle for 2,800 V-Bucks. Those items include the skin, Back Bling, two Emotes, a Contrail, and a Microphone.

Here is a list of the cosmetics with their price:

  • Tour-Ready Sabrina Carpenter with Baby Blue alternate style - 1,500 V-Bucks
  • SC Heart Purse Back Bling - 400 V-Bucks
  • Taste Emote - 500 V-Bucks
  • Please Please Please Emote - 500 V-Bucks
  • Cute Cutout Contrail - 600 V-Bucks
  • Sabrina's Mic - 800 V-Bucks
  • Please Please Please Jam Track - 500 V-Bucks
  • A Sweet Little Bundle - 2,800 V-Bucks

As of the v34.30 update, the Sabrina Carpenter Fortnite cosmetics will be purchaseable until the end of Festival Season 8.

Purchaseable Reboot Cards are now available in Fortnite

Beyond the Sabrina Carpenter aspect of the Fortnite v34.30 update, players can now purchase Reboot Cards from Reboot Vans. Each Reboot Card will cost you 500 Gold. It's unclear whether there is a limit to how many Cards you can purchase, but reviving your teammates is now easier.

Where is the Adventure Time collab in Fortnite v34.30?

Don't worry; the Adventure Time collaboration is still on Fortnite's radar. While it's not in the Item Shop yet, leakers have revealed that this crossover will arrive within the next two weeks. An Emote based on the popular TV show even leaked prematurely.

We expect more details over the next few days, but it is unclear when the cosmetics will be available in the Item Shop.

Fortnite Ballistic changes in the April 8 update

The final piece worth covering in Fortnite v34.30 is the "Test Grounds" update to Fortnite Ballistic—the 5v5 tactical shooter game mode. While Ballistic gained recognition when it dropped, it has become less popular.

Fortnite v34.30 added two new maps to the landscape: Hammer Fall and Storm Chaser Cove. Additionally, Epic Games has updated the loot pool with new gadgets and weapons, including a Fire Grenade and Burst Assault Rifle.
