Though the new Halloween event in Fortnite was quickly pulled down due to matchmaking issues, it is looking like it may be a quick fix! So for those wanting to get down on the new set of challenges in order to earn some epic limited-time loot, here's what you need to know!

"During Fortnitemares, you'll face off against Cube Monsters in a whole new way of playing Battle Royale," boasts the latest blog from Epic Games. "There are new weapons to fight back against these creepy creatures, like the Six Shooter and Fiend Hunter Crossbow. Take out the Cube Fiends and Fragments to pick up loot, and survive against enemy players."

They added, "Make sure you're lookin' good while the darkness descends and pick up the new Deadfire Outfit. This new type of reactive outfit features in-match progression, giving you a way to show off your skills in style. The outfit will progress through 2 styles based on the damage you deal enemies (players and AI) and how long you last in a match. Deadfire also comes with the Shackled Stone Back Bling and you can pick up his matching Dark Shard pickaxe in the store, both of these are reactive cosmetics."

Though every few days the challenges will switch up, here's the first week's challenges for the new event:

  • Destroy Cube Monsters
  • Deal damage with Assault Rifles or Pistols to Cube Monsters
  • Visit a Corrupted Area in different matches
  • Dance at different Gargoyles

Complete all of the challenges as they come and at the end of the event, dedicated players will earn the exclusive Dark Engine Glider:
