What is included in Fortnite Fortnitemares 2022?
Speaking of content, the Fortnite Fortnitemares 2022 event is jam-packed with new things to do, weapons to use, and quests to complete.
The most significant one is the arrival of Howler Claws. These pick-ups give your Fortnite character the abilities of a werewolf, able to slash at enemies and track their footsteps.
On top of that, a familiar game mode is returning into the playlist rotation for the duration of this event. Seasoned Fortnite players may be familiar with Horde Rush, a round-based survival mode where you take down hordes of enemies before a hulking final boss. It's back, but this time adding the No Build mechanics.
