Complete rituals by emoting at Alertation Altrars to earn the Howler Claws. These items turn you into a werewolf, giving you access to the Wolfscent Ability, which temporarily lets you track nearby enemies. It also gives you the Slash and Air Slash Abilities for added melee damage, making you much more powerful up close.

Each day throughout the event, players are given access to new Halloween-themed quests. You need to complete a certain number of daily quests throughout the event’s duration to earn access to the spooky cosmetics.

Below is a list of the rewards you can earn throughout Fortnitemares 2022:

  • Everything’s End (Glider): Complete 5 Fortnitemares quests
  • Chrome Cage (Back Bling): Complete 13 Fortnitemares quests

New cosmetic items in the shop

Fortnitemares 2022 also includes the new Zero Build Horde Rush mode, sending players into battle against the deadly Cube Monsters. However, as its name suggests, this mode removes the ability to build structures to protect against the creatures.

This round-based mode throws waves of enemies at you and your teammates, with opportunities to earn high scores and multipliers. Epic Games challenges players to “take down the Final Boss without the aid of building,” which will surely change the way you approach each wave.

Zero Build Horde Rush mode lasts until November 15, giving players two additional weeks to enjoy it after Fortnitemares ends.

Fortnitemares 2022 is available in Fortnite right now.
