Now Playing: 7 Ways Fortnite Changed Gaming
New POIs, Candy, and Pumpkin Launchers
Shifty Shafts recently morphed into the haunted house-like Grim Gables, while two other POIs have more recently been chromed to turn into Chromejam Lumberyard and Shiny Sound. Candy has made a return, too, which is usually available outside of houses for you to find and eat, granting buffs to health, movement speed, and more. Meanwhile, you can find powerful Pumpkin Launchers across the map that use rockets and can be fired at your opponents for some huge damage.
Howler Claws
Fortnitemares 2022 has introduced the brand-new Howler Claws item, which can be obtained by performing the Ritual emote at altars spread across the map. These provide you with the ability to track your opponents and then slash them up with a 4-hit combo melee attack that can devastate their health bar. If you like playing as a predator, you’ll have a good time adding this one to your arsenal each match.
Themed challenges
It wouldn’t be an event without also having some themed quests to complete, and Fortnitemares 2022 is unleashing plenty throughout the next couple of weeks. Two new quests become available each day of the event for a total of 14 days. For completing the quests, you can earn the limited-time cosmetics listed below.

Horde Rush
Popular cooperative game mode Horde Rush has made a return for Fortnitemares 2022, bringing plenty of multiplayer mayhem to your Halloween experience as you and some friends take down packs of zombies and face off against a terrifying final boss. Even more, the mode will last even longer than Fortnitemares, allowing you to play all the way until Tuesday, November 15.
New skins
Halloween-themed skins are rampant during Fortnitemares 2022, so expect to see the return of some from previous years alongside a selection of brand-new options, such as this new crossover with Evil Dead.
There are also these concept winners, Sinister Glare and Undying Sorrow, which have now been placed into the game.
The item shop is littered with other exciting Halloween-themed skins, so make sure you check them all out to get in the holiday spirit, loopers!
