Brooms, Halloween treats and scary cosmetics in Fortnite

A new Broom emote has made it's way into the game, and many in-game Halloween cosmetics are coming into the item store as well. However, many leakers believe that it could be added as a mobility item, which would allow players to traverse the map.
