The much-anticipated Fortnite Halloween 2022 event has kicked off on October 18, and with it comes a long list of Fortnitemares patch notes to accompany the v22.20 update. Here are all of the main changes and additions made to Battle Royale, Save The World, and Creative with the new update.
Fortnitemares 2022 patch notes list
Battle Royale
DJ Lyka is hanging around the Ability Tree to help players transform using one of the Reality Tree’s Alteration Altars. After the Ritual is complete, players will get Howler Claws that give a trio of canine abilities: the Wolfscent Ability with tracking vision, the four-combo melee Slash Ability, and the double jump Air Slash Ability.
Away from the Reality Tree, there is Zero Build Horde Rush as the latest limited-time mode, and Fortnitemares quests that will reward players with the Everything’s End Glider, Chrome Cage Back Bling, and Unmaker Pickaxe for completion. The Item Shop contains the new Sinister Glare and Undying Sorrow Outfits. PC players now get a “Custom Diagonals Keyboard Movement” setting too. The other major bug fixes include:
- Reboot Cards no longer sink if the player was eliminated in water.
- Players are again able to see the progress of their EvoChrome weapon evolutions in competitive playlists.
- Moving the right stick on controller no longer unintentionally navigates menus.
- Fixed an issue on mobile causing water to appear as if it was floating above the ground.
Save The World
Dusk returns to Save The World and she can bite her enemies to siphon away their health. The Ghost Pistol also makes its return, while there’s a new quest line for Hexslyania called Bladey Acres. Completing the questline gives Bloodhaven Pyrotechnic alumni Raven as a reward. Some of the major bug fixes and gameplay improvements include:
- Players will again gain credit when saving survivors in the Party of 25 daily Quest.
