We mentioned it earlier this week, and now Fortnite‘s Halloween event, the appropriately titled “Fortnitemares”, will go live later today as part of the 6.20 update. Alongside the event, new goodies and fixes have been added, including a new weapon.
Fortnitemares sees the mysterious Cube that’s been around since the previous season blow up, causing monsters to appear. Large fragments of the Cube are now scattered around areas of the map, while small Cube fragments generate randomly during matches. And all of the monsters can drop loot.
New to the Fortnitemares event is the Fiend Hunter Crossbow, which is a limited-time weapon exclusive to the Limited Time Modes, and is designed to deal massive damage to Fiends. The new Six Shooter, on the other hand, is available in all Battle Royale matches. Available in Uncommon, Rare and Epic variants, the six shooter deals between 34-38 damage (depending on its variant).
Also available in Save the World mode is the Vlad Moon Rising quest, which sees the return of past heroes such as Marine Corpse Ramirez, Skull Trooper Jonesy, Hazard the 13th, Catstructor Penny, Shuriken Master Llamurai, Sarah Hotep and Ranger Beetlejess.
