WATCH: Fortnite’s Halloween treats came early – ‘Fortnitemares’ is now live!

Gamers! Celebrate Halloween early with Fortnite's annual Halloween event – Fortnitemares.


It’s almost Halloween, and that means Fortnite players have exciting new challenges and rewards to celebrate the spookiness of 31 October.

Thanks to the 22.20 update, Fortnite players can celebrate early by completing the Fortnitemares Quests.

There’s a lot happening, from altars scattered across the map where you can gain werewolf claws. Or why not get the ability to track enemies?

Fortnitemares Quests

The Fortnitemares challenge was released on Wednesday, 19 October, and will remain active until Halloween has officially come to an end.

Complete these quests for in-game cosmetic rewards and XP, but hurry up: the Fortnitemares event will end on 1 November 2022.

Don’t wait, those XPs will come in handy for levelling up and completing the Battle Pass, hey?
