Now that the Fortnite × Simpsons crossover is live, there’s a quest called ‘Collect Dangerous Objects Inside of Donut Storms’ that is just a bit out there. Players simply have to jump into a Donut Storm, collect some ‘dangerous objects’ and this counts towards completing the quest. This guide will detail how to do that, where to get the storm, how to find dangerous objects and some hints so you don’t get taken by surprise.
What Is a Donut Storm?

A Donut Storm is a specific type of storm zone in Fortnite that is active during the Simpsons event. Per verified evidence:
- The Donut Storm begins after the second storm circle closes, so it doesn’t happen right at the start.
- When the storm is happening, you will see swirling pink clouds that look like donuts, instead of the regular storm effects.
- You have to actually be inside the area: you must be in the Donut Storm when you pick up the items.
All you have to do for step one is go to and enter this pink-cloud storm.
What Counts as a “Dangerous Object”?
The mission calls for “dangerous objects,” a broad term, but sources clarify:
These are typically weapons or tools, not benign daily items.
A common example is the chainsaw, which players have noted indeed works.
You must pick the object up while in the Donut Storm. Picking up dangerous objects while outside the storm does not count.
Step-by-Step Guide

- Begin a match during the Simpsons event.
- Continue playing until at least the second storm circle closes, because it generally takes this long for the Donut Storm to appear.
- Look for the Donut Storm, observe your mini-map for pink donut-icons, or look to the sky for the swirl.
- Once you spot it, enter the storm. Once inside, pick up “dangerous objects,” such as weapons or tools, which will count toward the quest.
- Repeat this until you have found the required number of objects, generally three, according to the guides.
- Once you are done, either exit or continue the game.
Tips & Important Notes

- Do not pick up items before you enter the storm.
- Be careful inside the storm; falling donuts are dangerous. Reports say that two hits can knock you out.
- Use mobility tools (like Impulse Grenades, vehicles, or glider-redeploy spots) to get to the storm quickly.
- Using healing or speed-boost items, like Blinky Fish or Slurpee, helps: you will need them to dodge the falling donuts.
- When you pick up a “dangerous object”, make sure the pickup is registered. Some players say you should care, drop it, and pick it up to force the registration to occur.
- Be careful if you are playing with other people; other players may try to contest the storm zone.
