Fortnitemares 2024 Skins, Start And End Dates, Challenges, And A Freaking Chainsaw

The Fortnite Halloween party always adds a few spooky weapons and items. This year is doing the same, though it’s also adding a few new weapons to the loot pool, and they’re some of the game’s most intense items yet. Here’s all the Fortnitemares loot you can expect to find during the event:

• Wood Stake Shotgun
• Pumpkin Launcher
• Witch Broom
• Boom Billy
• Chainsaw

Fortnitemares veterans will be familiar with those first three, though the last two are new to everyone. Boom Billy sends a Billy The Puppet, from Saw, tricycling toward the enemy before he detonates with an explosion. If you hear his twisted laugh, run away fast.

Meanwhile, a chainsaw is also coming to the game, and it has both offensive and traversal capabilities. You can lunge at an enemy with it, or rev it into the ground, which will then propel you forward. It sounds like it could join the community’s list cool traversal items, like the Shockwave Hammer, Kinetic Blade, and Spider-Man’s Web Slingers.

Though it isn’t exactly a loot item, there’s also a new on-island event you’ll see during Fortnitemares. Interact with a Billy The Puppet TV across various places on the island and you’ll be given a target to eliminate among players who have also opted into the challenge.

Both players will be clad in bear masks from Saw, and if neither player (or squad) eliminates their target before the timer goes off, well, they both explode. Those who win the showdown will be gifted with a Boom Billy and a Witch Broom, among other randomized loot.
