Fortnite's new Halloween event has arrived, bringing with it new mythical weapons, unexpected collaborations, and hints of a return to the island from Chapter 1. The event features a new zone boss, Keido Thorn, who can be defeated to obtain his drum submachine gun and vampire blade. The vampire blade allows players to steal health from their opponents. Other new features include the wooden stake shotgun, pirate skeletons that point to buried chests, and the return of the witch's broom and pumpkin launcher. The event also includes collaborations with Disney, specifically Jack Skellington from "The Nightmare Before Christmas," and Alan Wake to promote the launch of his second video game. Additionally, the battle bus has been decorated for Halloween, and new skins have been released, including remixes of old ones. The event also brings back the creative map bus and the "Stampede of the Horde" mode, which now includes new features such as improvement banks and augmentations.
