Fortnite's Halloween event has introduced many new challenges to the popular video game. Thanks to them, you can unlock numerous cosmetic rewards for free, including three Chrome-themed items that perfectly fit the current season.

Listed below are the three rewards that can be unlocked in the current event:

• Everything's End Glider
• Chrome Cage Back Bling
• Unmaker Pickaxe

The glider requires you to complete only five Fortnitemares 2022 challenges, which should be a simple task for most players. If you want to unlock the back bling, you will have to complete 13 challenges, while the pickaxe requires you to complete 25 of them.

To unlock the pickaxe, you will need to gain a Speed Boost by eating Pepper Mint, and here's how to do it:

1) Find Pepper Mint consumable items

Epic Games has added a lot of new consumables with the release of the Fortnitemares 2022 event. These items can be found in jack-o'-lanterns scattered all over the island and can be purchased from the game's newest NPCs.

To complete this Halloween challenge, you will first have to find a Pepper Mint consumable item. The easiest way to do this is to land at a popular landing spot, such as Tilted Towers, Chrome Crossroads, or Greasy Grove. These locations have plenty of jack-o'-lanterns that can be broken and will likely drop the consumable item.

Additionally, you can also land near Tilted Towers and buy Pepper Mint from Curdle Scream Leader. If you opt for this strategy, make sure you have 100 gold bars beforehand.

2) Consume Pepper Mints by selecting them in your inventory

To gain a Speed Boost by eating Pepper Mint, you simply need to select the consumable item from your inventory and press the fire button to consume it. Once you consume it, you will gain a Speed Boost that will allow you to move much faster across the island.

You need to do this twice and the challenge will be completed. However, keep in mind that you cannot gain an additional Speed Boost by eating Pepper Mint while another Pepper Mint effect is active. You will have to wait for the first Speed Boost to expire before using another one.
