Fortnite is getting spooky, as the days get shorter, and halloween creeps closer, Fortnite is set to celebrate the scariest time of the year (and that isn’t just because of a looming US presidential election) with the return of Fortnitemares, with the event this year going by Midas’ Revenge<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

The v14.40 patch which is set to go live on 21st of October has much more besides the halloween content with new consumables, some ghoulish weapons, and the charge shotgun is set to be vaulted.<\/p>\n

Downtime for the patch starts at approximately 04:00 am ET (08:00 UTC).<\/p>\n

The patch size will be larger than normal on PC (approx. 27 GB). This is to make optimizations on PC resulting in a massively reduced Fortnite file size (over 60 GB smaller), smaller downloads for future patches, and improved loading performance.<\/p>\n

Fortnitemares is back but now with a Midas’ twist as the super-villian takes over The Agency. Players will be able to play the game mode as Solos, Duos, and Squads to battle against Midas and his army of ghouls.<\/p>\n

New challenges<\/h3>\n

The Island will be awash with halloween decorations and a whole bunch of themed challenges. Completing them will reward players with a number of treats including a Back Bling, Pickaxe and XP.<\/p>\n

Loot Pool Changes – fly around with a broom<\/h3>\n

The loot pool is getting a little spice for halloween with the Charge Shotgun being vaulted.<\/p>\n
