  • Fortnitemares Rewards and Challenges: A new set of free rewards is available for players, with themed quests expected to return for added engagement during the event. [3]
  • New Weapons and Combat Elements: A bug-themed invasion has taken over the game, with new weapons such as the Mythic weapons dropped from defeating bug queens at specific POIs, and exotic weapons like the Bug Blaster, Leadspitter 3000 minigun, Sweeper Shotgun, and Swarmstrike rocket launcher.

The event is currently running and will end with the conclusion of Chapter 5 Season 4. Horde Rush is available until Fortnitemares ends and is accessible via Discover.
