Fortnitemares 2024 Afflicts the Island in Battle Royale v31.40
Want to play a game? How about some Battle Royale… during Fortnitemares 2024? This year’s frightening festivities bring the explosive Boom Billy, a rideable chainsaw, the return of Horde Rush, and plenty of Quest rewards like the Jack-o'-Drifter Contrail and Great Scarecrow Glider. Fortnitemares 2024 runs now until the end of Chapter 5 Season 4!
Tricycle Scare
See a trike behind you? Run! Players can now throw a Boom Billy, a mini-Billy the Puppet that’ll lock onto the nearest opponent — which could be you.
It’ll ride a tricyle your way then explode on impact. Outrun it so that it detonates before you’re the next victim!
If you wanna be the one to make Billy go boom, find Boom Billys from the ground and Chests. Or get one from defeating the real Billy the Puppet at Freaky Fields.
Jigsaw’s Challenge
Let’s play a game within a game. Scattered across the Island are Billy the Puppets displayed on TV monitors waiting for passers-by. Approach a monitor and Jigsaw, the man behind the puppets, will challenge you to duel a player who accepts from another monitor.
Both players in Jigsaw's Challenge will don a Billy-inspired bear mask — which happens to be explosive. If you or your squad don’t eliminate your target in time, the mask will explode and you’ll be eliminated. If you or your squad does eliminate the target, you and your squad will be rewarded with a Boom Billy, the unvaulted Witch Broom, and other loot!
Hack and Go Fast
Enough games. With a Chainsaw, hack your way through enemies… or rev it into the ground to propel yourself forward at frightening speeds! Saw that one coming?
You can pick up a Chainsaw from the ground and Chests. Let ‘er rip!
Unvaulted from the Underworld
It wouldn’t be Fortnitemares without undead armaments. The Wood Stake Shotgun, Pumpkin Launcher, and Witch Broom are back! Fire wooden stakes that sting, launch explosive jack-o’-lanterns, or whisk yourself up in the air and glide back down.
Ready to raise the stakes? Get the Wood Stake Shotgun and Pumpkin Launcher after defeating Ultima Carver at Brawler’s Patch (formerly Brawler’s Battleground). The Witch Broom can be found from the ground, Chests, and Loot Island.
