Fortnitemares Patch Notes: Full Update Notes For Fortnite Patch v31.40

One of the best events within Fortnite is coming soon, and the annual spooky event within the game is beloved by many players.

Fortnitemares 2024 is now here, and Epic have added a ton of content for players to check out.

Here's the full patch notes. 

Fortnitemares Patch Notes: Full Update Notes For Fortnite Patch v31.40

The annual event has been a tradition each year, and Fortnite players globally are used to some in-game events, rewards and brand new skins for players to purchase.

Now, we can check out the full patch notes of the brand new content below.

Tricycle Scare 

See a trike behind you? Run! Players can now throw a Boom Billy, a mini-Billy the Puppet that’ll lock onto the nearest opponent — which could be you

It’ll ride a tricycle your way then explode on impact. Outrun it so that it detonates before you’re the next victim! 

Fortnite Boom Billy

If you wanna be the one to make Billy go boom, find Boom Billys from the ground and Chests. Or get one from defeating the real Billy the Puppet at Freaky Fields.


Jigsaw’s Challenge

Let’s play a game within a game. Scattered across the Island are Billy the Puppets displayed on TV monitors waiting for passers-by. Approach a monitor and Jigsaw, the man behind the puppets, will challenge you to duel a player who accepts from another monitor.

Fortnite Jigsaw’s Challenge

Both players in Jigsaw's Challenge will don a Billy-inspired bear mask — which happens to be explosive. If you or your squad don't eliminate your target in time, the mask will explode and you’ll be eliminated. If you or your squad does eliminate the target, you and your squad will be rewarded with a Boom Billy, the unvaulted Witch Broom, and other loot!


Hack and Go Fast

Enough games. With a Chainsaw, hack your way through enemies… or rev it into the ground to propel yourself forward at frightening speeds! Saw that one coming?

Fortnite Chainsaw

You can pick up a Chainsaw from the ground and Chests. Let ‘er rip!


Unvaulted from the Underworld

It wouldn’t be Fortnitemares without undead armaments. The Wood Stake Shotgun, Pumpkin Launcher, and Witch Broom are back! Fire wooden stakes that sting, launch explosive jack-o’-lanterns, or whisk yourself up in the air and glide back down.

Fortnite Pumpkin Launcher, Witch Broom, and Wood Stake Shotgun

Ready to raise the stakes? Get the Wood Stake Shotgun and Pumpkin Launcher after defeating Ultima Carver at Brawler’s Patch (formerly Brawler’s Battleground). The Witch Broom can be found from the ground, Chests, and Loot Island.

To accommodate the new and unvaulted items, Shuri’s Black Panther Claws have been vaulted.
