The Pumpkin Launcher was unvaulted during the Fortnitemares 2022 event. Many players have been looking forward to the return of the explosive weapon since Epic Games vaulted the regular Rocket Launcher almost a year ago.

The weapon comes in four different rarities and deals up to 130 damage. It's equally amazing in both Classic and Zero Build modes, which is why many players enjoy using it.

To complete the latest Fortnitemares 2022 challenge, you must destroy objects with a Pumpkin Launcher. Considering how devastating the weapon is, this can be done very easily.

Here are all the steps you need to take:

1) Find a Pumpkin Launcher

To destroy objects with a Pumpkin Launcher, you will first have to acquire the iconic Fortnitemares weapon. Fortunately, the weapon can be found in many loot sources, including chests and floor loot.

If you want to grab the weapon immediately, you can purchase it from the new NPCs. Chrome Punk at Flutter Barn sells the Legendary (Gold) variant of the weapon, while Curdle Scream Leader at the Research Lab Minotaur sells the Epic (Purple) variant. If you decide to go this route, make sure to have at least 600 Gold.

Additionally, you could land at Grim Gables to fight The Inkquisitor. After beating the boss, you will receive several valuable items, including the Pumpkin Launcher.

After acquiring the popular Fortnite Battle Royale weapon, you will have to destroy objects with it. This part is extremely easy as you can destroy any type of object, from walls and structures to furniture and other smaller entities.

To destroy objects with a Pumpkin Launcher, simply shoot the explosive weapon at an object. While it deals from 85 (uncommon) to 130 (legendary) damage to players, the weapon is much more efficient when it comes to destroying structures.

The Uncommon variant of the weapon deals 285 damage to structures, while the Legendary variant deals 330 damage. Thanks to this, you can easily destroy almost any object in just one hit.

The biggest problem you could run into is the lack of ammo. However, you can enter any house with a kitchen and fire a rocket inside it. Kitchens usually have a lot of objects inside of them, which means you can complete the new challenge by firing just one or two rockets.
