Fortnitemares 2024: Everything in the Halloween event explained

This year, we can expect an abundance of quests, challenges, rewards, weapons, and spooky skins.

Let's take a closer look at Fortnitemares 2024.

When is Fortnitemares 2024?

The Fortnitemares 2024 start date was Saturday 12th October.

This was in line with what popular leaker HYPEX stated, who said that the event start date would fall between 11th and 15th October.

Now that the Dr Doom-themed live event has been and gone, it's time for things to get a bit scary. It is spooky season, after all.

What can you expect from Fortnitemares 2024?

So, what exactly can we expect from the event?

Firstly, there are 11 horror-themed challenges to complete, and a plethora of spooky rewards once you've done them. Expect to play a game with Jigsaw from the Saw franchise.

The quests are worth playing through, with the following rewards:

We're also excited to tell you that Horde Rush has returned for the event! Survive the hordes and beat the final boss to earn plenty of XP (which can be used alongside the experience you pick up from Rocket Racing Nitemares Quests to help you beat the Fortnitemares XP Quests).
