Fortnitemares 2021 Guide (Schedule, Skins, Weapons, & Rewards)
October 16, 2021 at 15:06 PM EDT
The annual Halloween event in Fortnite's , Fortnightmares, is well underway in the popular battle royale, and players can continue to earn unique rewards until Nov. 2. Fortnitemares is full of Halloween-themed maps, games, and other experiences that were created by the community during the Fortnitemares Callout event. Players can access the community-created experiences featured in the Fortnitemares section of the menus. Throughout the rest of October, Fornitemares cards will reveal iconic monsters that will be featured in the Item Shop. Additionally, classic Fortnite characters will continue to receive new Halloween twists throughout October. Fortnitemares 2021 has various new and returning Halloween Outfits in the Item Shop, as well as costumes and items that players are able to earn during the event. Multiple new cards are going to be flipped over through each week during the Fortnitmares 2021 event, so it's important for players to check the Fortnite Item Shop daily. Epic Games has kept these cards well hidden until they're released, but each release has always happened at 8:00 pm EST. Week one of Fortnitemares brought Frankenstein's Monster, Curdle Scream Leader, Skeletara, and The Walking Dead's Rick Grimes to Fortnite . Week two has six cards that will be flipped over, so players should expect at least one card every night until week three begins. Two of Fortnite's Fortnitemares have already been flipped over for week two, namely the Poisonous Big Mouth and the Gilded Skull Trooper and Gilded Skull Ranger. The Poisonous Big Mouth is an alt style of Big Mouth. Week two will last until Oct. 18. Various Halloween-themed pickaxes, weapons skins, backpacks, and gliders will be available throughout Fortnitemares as well. Week three and four rewards for Fortnitemares are currently a mystery, but week three will begin on Oct. 19, and week four starts on Oct. 26. Players can keep returning to the Fortnite Fortnitemares blog post daily to see what new cards are going to be unlocked next. Every week has a random order of how the cards will be unlocked, but the card previews show a glimpse into what the new costumes will be. For example, one of the week two cards features the Fishstick costume head on the back of it with a chunk bitten out of its face, indicating that the card will likely be some variation of the Fishstick or Fortnite's Fishstick princess costume. Additionally, the Dual Fiend Hunters are a new weapon that deals extra damage to the Cube Monsters, and it has a faster rate of fire than last year's Fiend Hunter Crossbow. Dual Fiend Hunters can be found in chests or on the ground. Lastly, Fortnitemares will wrap up with the third Short Nite film festival. Named "Shortnitemares," the animated short will be based on sinister Halloween themes. The Shore Nite film festival will take place in a creator-made movie theater, and each short will have its own theatre room. Fortnite is available now on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X, Xbox One, PC, Nintendo Switch, and Android. Source: epicgames.com
