New Spooky Weapons and Items

This year, Fortnitemares comes bearing menacing new weapons that are sure to enhance your gameplay. Here’s what you can expect to find:

- Wood Stake Shotgun

- Pumpkin Launcher

- Witch Broom

- Boom Billy

- Chainsaw

Among the newcomers, the Boom Billy sends a creepy Billy The Puppet from the *Saw* franchise on a tricycle toward opponents before exploding, adding both suspense and strategy. The chainsaw, with its offensive and traversal abilities, allows players to charge at enemies or propel themselves forward in true Fortnite style.

Moreover, players can experience a unique on-island event where they’ll interact with a Billy The Puppet TV. This challenge involves hunting down a fellow player while both participants are donned in menacing bear masks. If neither player succeeds in their mission, expect an explosive surprise!

Among the stars is the long-anticipated Billy The Puppet skin, along with a host of Disney and Marvel villains, classic Halloween figures, and iconic horror legends. Even the most seasoned Fortnite players might find a delightful surprise in the extensive shop cycle.

Prepare yourself for a spine-chilling yet exhilarating journey, as Fortnitemares 2024 brings unmissable fun and fright to the game. Grab your gear, dive into the festivities, and may the best Fortnite player prevail amidst the thrills of Halloween!
