Fortnitemares 2026: Everything You Need to Know About Fortnite’s Halloween Event

Fortnitemares Is Back — and This Year the Game Is Cursed
Fortnite’s biggest Halloween event of the year is officially live. Fortnitemares 2026 launched on October 1, 2026 as part of update v42.30 in Chapter 7 Season 4: Override, under the banner “The Game Is Cursed.” Epic Games teased the event with the line “Nitemares really do come true,” and this year’s edition brings one of the most requested crossovers in Fortnite history to the island.
The event runs through October, which gives you the whole spooky season to complete quests, unlock rewards and grab limited-time skins before they disappear. Here is everything you need to know.
When Did Fortnitemares 2026 Start?
Fortnitemares 2026 began on Thursday, October 1, 2026, with the v42.30 update — the third major update of Chapter 7 Season 4. This year Epic started the Halloween party earlier than usual: Fortnitemares 2025 began on October 9 and the 2024 edition on October 12, so 2026 players get almost a full extra week of spooky content.
The Big Headliner: Five Nights at Freddy’s Comes to Fortnite
After years of fan requests and memes, Five Nights at Freddy’s has finally arrived in Fortnite. A Freddy Fazbear outfit is part of the Fortnitemares 2026 lineup, and reports around the launch point to more animatronic favourites — Bonnie, Chica and Foxy — joining the celebration with Halloween-themed content inspired by Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza.
It is a perfect fit for Fortnitemares: few gaming characters are as instantly recognisable — or as creepy — as Freddy and the gang.
More Horror Icons Join the Item Shop
FNAF is not the only horror name in town. Launch reports identify a stacked crossover lineup rolling through the Item Shop during the event, including:
- Freddy Krueger from A Nightmare on Elm Street
- Slender Man
- Beetlejuice
- Lady Liberty from The Purge
- Obsession
As always with Fortnitemares, shop items rotate, so if a skin on your wishlist appears, do not wait too long — Halloween cosmetics typically vault when the event ends.
Halloween Gameplay: Sprites, Pumpkin Launcher and Witch Broom
Fortnitemares is never just about skins. This year’s event adds new Halloween Sprites — including jack-o’-lantern and vampire companions that grant in-game powers — and brings back two fan-favourite Halloween items: the explosive Pumpkin Launcher and the Witch Broom for fast, spooky rotations across the map.
Expect the island’s look to match the season too, with Fortnitemares quests sending you into the event’s decorated hotspots.
Free Rewards and Quests
Fortnitemares 2026 includes its own set of event quests, and reports suggest free unlocks are part of the package — including at least one skin that can be earned through quests rather than bought in the shop. Epic has not published the full reward rollout yet, so check the Quests tab in-game regularly and finish event challenges before the event wraps up at the end of October.
Tips to Make the Most of Fortnitemares 2026
- Start the quests early. Event quests are time-limited, and the best rewards usually sit at the end of the quest line.
- Check the Item Shop daily. Horror crossovers rotate quickly during October.
- Use the Halloween loot. The Witch Broom is one of the best rotation tools in the game — carry one whenever you find it.
- Play with your squad. Many event quests are faster (and a lot more fun) when completed together.
Final Verdict
Fortnitemares 2026 is shaping up to be one of the strongest Halloween editions Fortnite has ever had: an earlier start, the long-awaited FNAF crossover, horror icons like Freddy Krueger and Slender Man, and the return of beloved Halloween gameplay items. Whether you are here for the skins, the quests or just the chaos, October on the island is not to be missed.
Stay tuned to Salman Magazine — we will be covering the next Chapter 7 Season 4 update, v42.40, as soon as it drops.

Fortnite The Purge Skin Is in the Item Shop: Lady Liberty Arrives for Fortnitemares

The Purge skin is live in the Fortnite Item Shop right now. The Purge Bundle arrived with the shop reset at 5:00 AM Pakistan time today, Sunday October 18, as part of Fortnitemares 2026. It brings the Lady Liberty outfit from The Purge: Election Year, plus four more items, for 2,000 V-Bucks as a bundle. Bought at full price, the items add up to 2,800 V-Bucks, so the bundle cuts 800 V-Bucks off. The bundle stays in the shop until October 28, 2026 at 5:00 AM Pakistan time.
I checked Epic’s official Item Shop page myself this morning after the reset before writing a word, because the early schedule posts only guessed at this price. The 2,000 V-Bucks figure below is the price the shop itself shows, not a leak.
How to get the Lady Liberty skin
There is no quest or challenge you need to finish to buy this skin today. The Item Shop is the way in.
- Open Fortnite and go to the Item Shop tab.
- Look for The Purge section, near the top of today’s shop.
- Pick the full The Purge Bundle for 2,000 V-Bucks, or buy the Lady Liberty outfit on its own if that is all you want.
- Confirm the purchase and the items land in your Locker straight away.
Some players already own Lady Liberty before the shop drop. The Lady Liberty Cup ran on Saturday October 17, and the top 700 players in each region earned the Lady Liberty outfit and the Purge Drone back bling early. Anyone who earned 8 points in the Cup picked up the Purge Mask emoticon. That Cup has finished now, so if you missed it, the shop is your route.
If your balance is short, our guide to getting free V-Bucks in Fortnite covers the honest routes that work, and the scams to avoid.
What is in The Purge Bundle?
The bundle holds 5 items in total. Here is the full list, exactly as the shop shows it.
- Lady Liberty (Outfit), 1,500 V-Bucks on its own, and that offer includes the Purge Drone back bling as a bonus
- Purge Drone (Back Bling), 300 V-Bucks on its own
- Liberty’s Purge Torch (Pickaxe), 500 V-Bucks
- Electrified Flex (Emote), 300 V-Bucks
- Purge Counter (Wrap), 500 V-Bucks
Lady Liberty is the headline piece. The outfit takes its look from The Purge: Election Year, with the crown and torch that make the character easy to spot in a lobby. The Purge Counter wrap is a neat extra, as the shop lists it as damage reactive and elim reactive, so it changes as your match goes on.
How long does The Purge skin stay in the shop?
Epic’s shop page says the bundle is purchasable until October 28, 2026 at 5:00 AM local time. That gives you ten days from today, the same window the Hazbin Hotel bundle got. Still, collab skins leave on schedule and nobody can promise when, or if, this set comes back after that date. If Lady Liberty is the one skin you have been waiting for since the Fortnitemares trailer, I would not leave it to the last night.
The Purge is one part of a busy Halloween run. Our full Fortnitemares 2026 guide tracks every collab, boss and reward in the event, and yesterday’s Hazbin Hotel skins post covers the other big collab bundle sitting in the shop right now.
Is the bundle worth 2,000 V-Bucks?
My honest take: if Lady Liberty is the skin you want, the bundle is the better buy. The outfit alone costs 1,500 V-Bucks, so for 500 more you get the torch pickaxe, the emote and the wrap on top of the outfit and its back bling. If you only want the look and nothing else, buy the outfit on its own and save the rest of your balance for the next Fortnitemares drop.
Frequently asked questions
How much is The Purge Bundle in Fortnite?
The bundle costs 2,000 V-Bucks. The items inside add up to 2,800 V-Bucks at full price, so the bundle saves 800 V-Bucks.
How much is the Lady Liberty outfit on its own?
The Lady Liberty outfit costs 1,500 V-Bucks on its own, and that offer includes the Purge Drone back bling.
Was there a free way to get the Lady Liberty skin?
Yes, but that window has closed. The Lady Liberty Cup ran on Saturday October 17, and the top 700 players in each region earned the outfit and the Purge Drone back bling early. Players who earned 8 points got the Purge Mask emoticon.
Is The Purge skin in the Battle Pass?
No. Lady Liberty is an Item Shop outfit. It is not part of the Battle Pass.
When does The Purge skin leave the Fortnite shop?
Epic lists the bundle as purchasable until October 28, 2026 at 5:00 AM Pakistan time. After that it rotates out, and Epic has not announced a return date.
Will the Lady Liberty skin come back to Fortnite?
Epic has not said. Collab skins often return months later, but there is no confirmed return date, so do not count on a quick return if this is a skin you really want.

Fortnite Yeat Icon Series Bundle Is in the Item Shop for 3,600 V-Bucks
The Yeat Icon Series set is live in the Fortnite Item Shop right now. Epic announced the collab on October 14 with the Real Lyfe trailer, and the full set dropped on October 16 at 5:00 AM Pakistan time (October 15 at 8:00 PM ET). The headline number is confirmed from Epic’s own shop listing: the Yeat Bundle costs 3,600 V-Bucks, discounted from a 7,300 V-Bucks combined list price.
This is Yeat’s first full Icon Series set. He has had Icon emotes in the game before, but never his own outfits. The drop lands in the middle of Fortnitemares 2026 and right alongside the v42.40 update, so the shop is stacked this week.
What is in the Yeat bundle
The 3,600 V-Bucks bundle, per Epic’s official shop page, includes:
- Yeat outfit
- Twizz outfit
- Nike x Yeat Air Max Goadome Kicks (Lyfestyle Corporation)
- Lyfestyle Eye back bling
- The Bell back bling
- Bell Flail pickaxe
- Aura Transfer emote
- Luh Dumptruck emote
- Up 2 Mic microphone (Festival instrument)
- A Dangerous Wrap wrap
- If We Being Real Jam Track
One outfit keeps Yeat’s real look: beanie, sunglasses, chains and an all black fit. The second goes full Fortnite, a green skeleton style with glowing eyes that fits the Fortnitemares mood perfectly. One outfit has an alternate style and the other a reactive style.
How much does the Yeat bundle cost
The bundle is 3,600 V-Bucks in the live shop, down from 7,300 V-Bucks if the items were bought at their separate list prices. That price is now confirmed on Epic’s official Item Shop page for the Yeat Bundle; it is not an estimate. The other two Jam Tracks, Get Busy and Money So Big, are separate shop items, not part of this bundle; Jam Tracks normally sell for 500 V-Bucks each, and Get Busy is listed at 500 in today’s shop.
When does Yeat leave the shop
The Yeat cosmetics are reported to stay in the shop until October 31 at 8:00 PM ET, which is the end of Fortnitemares and the current season. That gives you about two weeks from the drop, but after October 31 Yeat leaves the map as well, so do not leave the free quest below to the last day either.
There is also a free Yeat Jam Track from a quest
Yeat is also standing on the island as an NPC, and talking to him starts a short quest that pays out a Jam Track for free, no V-Bucks needed. The reward is the HeliMan Jam Track, added straight to your Locker when you finish. One thing to do first: grab the free Quest Pack from the Item Shop before you drop into a match, because talking to Yeat will not start the bell objective without it.
Yeat stands on the mountain between Nightmare Neighborhood and Wonkeeland, directly north of Reality’s Reign, right next to the tall zipline tower. Talk to him there and a 3 minute timer starts. You need to collect 5 Bells around the tower area and bring them back to him before the timer runs out:
- Red Bell: below the Ascender, on the south side of the tower
- Green Bell: behind the Battle Bus, on the west side
- Silver Bell: on top of the building, on the east side
- Blue Bell: on the first platform of the zipline tower
- Glitter Bell: at the very top of the zipline tower
Drop straight onto the tower and start the quest early in the match, before the storm moves. Each bell makes a soft hum when you are close, which helps more than staring at the map. If you get eliminated mid run, you have to restart the quest, but any XP you earned on the failed run still counts. The quest itself runs until October 31, the same day the season ends.
Quick questions
When did the Yeat skin release?
October 16 at 5:00 AM in Pakistan (October 15 at 8:00 PM ET, 1:00 AM in the UK, 2:00 AM in Central Europe). It is in the Item Shop now.
How much is the Yeat bundle?
3,600 V-Bucks, confirmed on Epic’s official shop listing, discounted from 7,300 V-Bucks combined list price.
What Jam Tracks come with Yeat?
Three tracks in total: If We Being Real is inside the bundle. Get Busy and Money So Big are separate shop items.
Is Yeat part of Fortnitemares?
The set drops during Fortnitemares 2026, and one outfit has a skeleton style that matches the event, but it is an Icon Series release, not a Fortnitemares skin.
How do I get the free Yeat Jam Track?
Pick up the free Quest Pack from the Item Shop, then find Yeat north of Reality’s Reign by the zipline tower, talk to him, collect the 5 Bells nearby and return them before the 3 minute timer ends. The reward is the HeliMan Jam Track, and the quest is available until October 31.
When does Yeat leave Fortnite?
The bundle and the quest are both reported to run until October 31 at 8:00 PM ET, when the current season ends.

Fortnite Hazbin Hotel Skins Are in the Item Shop: Charlie, Vaggie and Alastor

The Hazbin Hotel skins are live in the Fortnite Item Shop right now. The bundle arrived with the shop reset at 5:00 AM Pakistan time today, Saturday October 17, as part of Fortnitemares 2026. It brings three outfits, Princess Charlie Morningstar, Vagatha and Alastor, plus 14 more items, for 4,000 V-Bucks as a bundle. Bought one by one, everything in it adds up to 10,900 V-Bucks, so Epic is cutting 6,900 V-Bucks off the full price. The bundle stays in the shop until October 27, 2026 at 5:00 AM Pakistan time.
I checked the shop myself this morning before writing a single word, because the early leaks got a few prices wrong. Alastor costs more than the leakers guessed, and the kicks in the shop are not named what the leak posts said they were. Everything below comes from Epic’s own Item Shop page, item by item.
How to get the Hazbin Hotel skins
There is no quest and no challenge tied to these skins. If you want them, the Item Shop is the only way.
- Open Fortnite and go to the Item Shop tab.
- Look at the top section, labelled Hazbin Hotel. It is the first section in today’s shop.
- Pick the full Hazbin Hotel Bundle for 4,000 V-Bucks, or buy a single outfit on its own if only one character matters to you.
- Confirm the purchase and the items land in your Locker straight away.
If your V-Bucks balance is short, our guide to getting free V-Bucks in Fortnite covers the honest routes that actually work, and the ones that are scams.
What is in the Hazbin Hotel Bundle?
The bundle holds 17 items in total. Here is the full list, exactly as the shop shows it.
Outfits
- Princess Charlie Morningstar, 1,500 V-Bucks on its own
- Vagatha, 1,500 V-Bucks on its own
- Alastor, 1,800 V-Bucks on its own
Back Bling
- Alastor’s Radio, 500 V-Bucks
- KeeKee, 600 V-Bucks
- Vagatha’s Wings, 400 V-Bucks
Pickaxes
- Alastor’s Staff, 800 V-Bucks
- Charlie’s Trident, 500 V-Bucks
- Vagatha’s Spear, 500 V-Bucks
Emotes
- Alastor’s Scheme, 500 V-Bucks
- A Happy Day…, 500 V-Bucks
Kicks, Wrap, Instruments and Jam Tracks
- Alastor’s Smile Slippers (Kicks), 1,000 V-Bucks
- Hazbin Grin (Wrap), 500 V-Bucks
- Alastor’s Ivories (Keytar), 800 V-Bucks
- Morningstar’s Mic (Microphone), 800 V-Bucks
- Hell’s Greatest Dad (Jam Track), 500 V-Bucks
- Happy Day in Hell (Jam Track), 500 V-Bucks
How long do the Hazbin Hotel skins stay in the shop?
Epic’s shop page says the bundle is purchasable until October 27, 2026 at 5:00 AM local time. That gives you ten days from today, which is more generous than most Fortnitemares collabs this year. Still, collab skins leave on schedule and nobody can promise when, or if, this set comes back after that date. If Charlie or Alastor is the one skin you have been waiting for since the Fortnitemares trailer, I would not leave it to the last night.
Hazbin Hotel is one stop in a packed Halloween event. Our full Fortnitemares 2026 guide tracks every collab, boss and reward in the event if you want the whole picture.
Is the bundle worth 4,000 V-Bucks?
My honest take: if you want two or three of the outfits, the bundle is an easy yes. Three outfits alone would cost you 4,800 V-Bucks bought separately, which is already more than the whole bundle, and the bundle then throws in the emotes, the Jam Tracks and everything else on top. If you only care about one character, buy that outfit on its own and save the rest of your balance. Alastor at 1,800 V-Bucks is the pricey one, but he is also the skin I expect to see in every lobby this week.
Frequently asked questions

The bundle costs 4,000 V-Bucks. The items inside add up to 10,900 V-Bucks at their normal prices, so the bundle saves 6,900 V-Bucks.

No. Charlie, Vagatha and Alastor are Item Shop skins. They are not part of the Battle Pass and there is no quest that unlocks them for free.
Can I buy the Hazbin Hotel outfits separately?
Yes. Princess Charlie Morningstar and Vagatha cost 1,500 V-Bucks each, and Alastor costs 1,800 V-Bucks. The smaller items, like the emotes and the Hazbin Grin wrap, are also sold on their own.

Epic lists the bundle as purchasable until October 27, 2026 at 5:00 AM Pakistan time. After that it rotates out, and Epic has not announced a return date.

Epic has not said. Collab skins often return months later, but there is no confirmed return date, so treat October 27 as the deadline if you really want them.
