Fortnitemares 2022 Event Teases Evil Dead And Rick & Morty Skins, And It's Now Live

Fortnitemares, the annual Halloween-inspired event in Fortnite, is now live and it brings werewolves, Evil Dead's Ash Williams, and Rick & Morty's Summer Smith (Morty's sister) and Mr. Meeseeks to the game. 

Epic Games announced the event with a quick gameplay trailer teasing what to expect alongside a look at how being a werewolf works in Fortnite.

Although, admittedly, Fortnite's take on the werewolf is significantly less hairy and more techy too, and in line with the vibes of the current season. You can also complete special Quests for rewards, take down Cube Monsters in Zero Build Horde Rush, and have a party of your own with unvaulted items, according to Epic Games, from now until November 1. 

To become a werewolf, you'll need to head to one of the Reality Tree's Alteration Altars, where you can perform the Ritual Emote to receive the Howler Claws.

With these equipped, you can activate the Wolfscent Ability, which gives you tracking vision, marking enemies repeatedly in a nearby radius. If no enemies are in the radius, the ability automatically enters the cooldown. With
