Fortnitemares Challenges: Full list and how to complete them

The Halloween festival has officially kicked off in Fortnite, and shadows falling from the sky have begun to consume the remaining flailing survivors on the island. The mighty Midas is back in the Agency which is known as the Ruins now, and he seems rather desperate to attain his revenge. Even though many believe that Midas was eaten by a shark, there is also a theory that he might be resurrected to progress Fortnite's main storyline.

Fortnitemares: Challenges guide and free rewards

Fortnitemares is a beloved event, and it is one of the various spectacles that fans of Fortnite look forward to every year. The Halloween event has three challenges to complete as of now, all of which are fairly easy to perform during matches. Here are the Fortnitemares challenges:

1. Become a Shadow- GUIDE
2. Travel 100m on a Witch Broom- GUIDE
3. Eat candy (25)

Detailed guides for the first two challenges are accessible through the links given above.

The last one is a squad challenge, and it can be completed by consuming candies. These are typically found inside the Pumpkin boxes near Witchshacks. Its important to remember that unlike fruit boxes, these pumpkin boxes cannot be opened by pressing a key, which means that they aren't interactive. Therefore, to open these Pumpkin boxes, you have to manually pickaxe them and consume the candies they drop afterwards.

These candies grant various in-game effects to the players, such as thermal vision, low gravity, fast speed, and more, and work similarly to fruits in the game.
