In terms of new Fortnite weapons, the new Wood Stake Shotgun sticks to the theme and looks quite alluring. On the other hand, the new Throne’s Vampiric Blade (a katana) can steal the health of enemies and siphon it to the player in the usual vampire fashion.

The Pumpkin Launcher has also been added in Fortnite and can be found “from the ground, regular and Rare Chests, Holo-Chests, and flying drones.” It shoots out explosive jack-o’-lanterns. The new Witch Broom further enhances the traversal mechanic in Fortnite. It can allow players to launch themselves in the air and then glide down into somewhere safe. It is the perfect gateway to escape when the opponents are too much to handle.

The event also brings new treats to munch on while ruthlessly murdering enemies, including “Candy Corn, Pepper Mints, Hop Drops, and Jelly Beans.” The candies offer different benefits and can be found in Candy Buckets, ringing doorbells, killing guards, or taking down the new bosses.

Fortnitemares celebrates the spooky season with quests that earn you XP and give alluring rewards. The number of quests will progressively grow as the event goes on until its end on November 3. A few missions will also be catered towards the creator mode exclusively to earn XP.

Similarly, the Horde Rush event also comes with quests and XP that can be grinded for attractive cosmetic rewards.

Many renowned Reality Augments are also available, like Game Time, Icy Slide, and Rushing Reload. The new Quick Weapon is a beta feature that replaces the Next Weapon button. It allows users to easily switch between the primary weapon and other slots. Lastly, the support for the OS9 devices has also ended. The devs will not actively maintain it anymore.
