The Fortnite South Park Born in Chaos event explained

The Fortnite South Park crossover is drawing to a close, so this is the final opportunity for Butters to unleash his wrath during the Born in Chaos event. There's plenty to get stuck into here, including a free battle pass for everyone to work through and earn a selection of South Park-themed cosmetics, plus significant gameplay changes with fresh items and a new POI. The Born in Chaos event runs from January 9 until February 5, 2026, so if you're ready to head on down then here's what you need to know about South Park in Fortnite.

The Born in Chaos Pass is free for all players

Yes, you read that correctly – the Born in Chaos Pass for the Fortnite South Park event is completely free, so all players can access it without spending a single V-Buck! Found under the Born in Chaos tab in the menu, this will feature South Park quests to complete and unlock 13 themed cosmetic items, including the Cheesy Poofs Rocketship Emote, Terrance and Phillip Pickaxe, and Backpack of CRED Back Bling. Complete all of these quests, and the Imaginationland Airship Glider will be yours.

Completing these South Park quests will earn Cred, which in turn unlocks cosmetics in the Born in Chaos Pass. Clearing four of the quests in each Part will also give you a Memberberry, and collecting all six of those unlocks the Imaginationland Airship Glider.

A new Quints 5-person playlist is live

To celebrate the arrival of Stan, Kyle, Cartman, Kenny, and Butters outfits in the Item Shop, you can now get the whole gang together by jumping into the new Quints 5-person playlist and increasing the size of your squad. While this mode is initially intended just for the crossover event, a Fortnite lead suggests it could become permanent if it proves to be successful.

Fresh South Park-themed gameplay items are available

There are a number of new gameplay items with a South Park theme added, to change up how matches play out during this event. If you get your hands on the Stick of Truth, then you have a one-time opportunity to control where the Storm goes for the first time ever. You can also use Cheesy Poofs to heal yourself and allies or damage opponents, and carrying Kenny's Respawn Token means you'll be rebooted automatically after being eliminated – but that is single use only!

You can visit new POI Cartmanland

Carman's personal theme park Cartmanland has now been added to the map as a fresh POI in the northwest corner of the island, so head there to explore a range of attractions. There are a selection of rideable thrills to discover, such as Chaos Blast, Voyage to the Center of the Planet, and Pi Pi's Splash Town.
