How to Solve Springfield Nuclear Power Plant Puzzle in Fortnite The Simpsons Season
Act fast to stop the meltdown.
There are all kinds of secrets waiting to be uncovered around The Simpsons-themed island in Fortnite. One of the tougher ones to solve is the Springfield Nuclear Power Plant puzzle, a fun but tricky endeavor you may encounter late in any round.
This puzzle unfolds in the midst of a crisis, and working against the clock to solve it makes it a bit of a stressful trial to work through. If you come across this challenge and aren’t sure what to do, here’s how to solve the Springfield Nuclear Power Plant puzzle in Fortnite.
When Does the Springfield Nuclear Power Plant Puzzle Unlock in Fortnite?
The Springfield Nuclear Power Plant puzzle isn’t available early on, as it doesn’t unlock until fairly late in the round. It generally becomes available when there are about 30 players left on the island, which is around when the third storm circle closes. You’ll know it’s available if you see a pop-up on screen that says “Powerplant Console” or if you’re already at this POI and notice a blaring noise and all of the warning lights going off.
Springfield Nuclear Power Plant Puzzle Solution in Fortnite
The solution to the Springfield Nuclear Power Plant puzzle changes in each round, but is always a specific three-button press combination of the Eenie, Meenie, and Minie buttons. Each button needs to be pressed once, but the order in which they’re pressed switches in every match. You can try to guess and get it right, but the correct combination can be found around this POI, so it’s generally best to search for it to make this puzzle much easier.
Where to Find Springfield Nuclear Power Plant Puzzle Solution in Fortnite
You can find the solution to the Springfield Nuclear Power Plant puzzle displayed on bright yellow posters hanging up all around this POI. There are loads of them plastered around, but I’ve had the best luck finding them hanging up on the outside of the buildings around this area.
Each poster looks identical, so you only need to find one to solve the puzzle. These posters all display the three colored sections of the console that correspond with the buttons you need to press.
- Eenie is the orange, rectangle-shaped part of the console.
- Meenie is the yellow part of the console.
- Minie is the blue upside-down L-shaped part of the console.
With the poster pictured above, the correct order is Eenie, Minie, then Meenie. At the console, this translated to left, right, then middle for this specific round. It can sometimes be tough to decipher the colors on the console once the meltdown begins, as the flashing lights make them tough to see, so focus on the corresponding button names to get it right.
Springfield Nuclear Power Plant Puzzle Reward in Fortnite
Finishing the Springfield Nuclear Power Plant puzzle gets you an array of random loot as a reward. There are no prizes exclusive to finishing this task, but you do get a collection of solid loot items, making it a great way to stock up on supplies. The items dropped from this puzzle include weapons, usually of a higher rarity, and healing goodies.
