‘Fortnite’: ‘Ghostbusters’ Bundles Blast Into the Item Shop!
Ghosts have taken over Fortnite and Epic Games is sending in the Ghostbusters to trap ’em all.
Part of this season’s ongoing “Fortnitemares” event, a handful of Ghostbusters bundles have just hit the game’s item shop!
There appear to be two bundles of either male or female ‘busters that will cost you 2,000 V-Bucks each, or you can purchase individual characters for 800 V-Bucks. There aren’t any actual characters from the film series as they would likely have to have also acquired likeness rights from each actor.
While the Ghostbusters themselves are fun, the biggest must-have is the gear bundle, which includes an incredible Ecto-Glider and Proton Pickaxe, as well as the infamous Ghost Trap and iconic Proton Pack. It’ll cost you 1800 V-Bucks just for this bundle alone.
As of this writing, it’s unclear if you’ll actually be able to trap ghosts in the trap, but it wouldn’t surprise me if one of the emotes will eventually allow this within one of the game modes.
With Halloween just a week away, Fortnite is sure to have several more treats on the way. Could the Ecto-1 be gassed up and dropped onto the map as well?!

Buckshot Roulette creator Mike Klubnika and co-developer GDeavid’s “friendslop” collection of violent party games in Machine Party is out now on Steam, where you and your friends can finally compete in glorious gory fun. As an added incentive, Machine Party is available with a limited-time 15% launch discount until August 13.
Gather 2 to 4 friends, strap in, and prove your life is worth more than theirs in this collection of borderline illegal and extraordinarily violent party games. Featurng an industrial soundtrack composed by Alex Peipman, Machine Party takes classic party game formats and gives them deadly twists, turning friendly competition into something far less friendly, but always hilarious. Across 15 unique minigames set within the Klubnika universe, players will jump between split-second reflex challenges, calculated decision-making, and social situations where trust doesn’t last long and betrayal is always an option.
Each minigame throws players into increasingly absurd and dangerous challenges where cooperation, competition, and betrayal are all viable strategies. No matter how you play, or how devious you are at screwing over your friends, survival is never guaranteed. For more absurdity, you’re able to customize your test subject with a variety of cosmetics.
