In Fortnite v22.20, DJ Lyka awaits at the Reality Tree to help transform you into a wolf-like monster... with wolf-like abilities.
Turning into a monster is just one part of Fortnitemares 2022. Also complete Quests for special rewards, take down Cube Monsters in Zero Build Horde Rush, have a party of your own with unvaulted items, and more. Fortnitemares 2022 runs until November 1 at 2 AM ET!
==HOWLER CLAWS, HIGHER SENSES==
While taking a break from dancing to DJ Lyka’s mix, step on one of the Reality Tree’s Alteration Altars — where you’ll be given the option to perform the Ritual Emote. (Far from the Reality Tree? Fear not — altars can be found in other locations as well!) Once the ritual is complete, you’ll be bestowed the Howler Claws. Equip this supernatural item to gain canine abilities:
===WOLFSCENT ABILITY===
With the Howler Claws equipped, howl to activate the Wolfscent Ability, lasting a limited time before going into a cooldown. The Wolfscent Ability gives you tracking vision, repeatedly putting a mark on enemies in a nearby radius. If no enemies are in the radius, the Wolfscent Ability will immediately enter the cooldown. 
(Are you being tracked by tracking vision? Your sixth sense will let you know with an audible heartbeat, getting louder and louder as your hunter approaches…)
The Howler Claws.
===SLASH ABILITY===
Equipping the Howler Claws of course gives you… claws. But these claws are more than just really sharp fingernails. With the Slash Ability, show no restraint and perform a four-combo melee attack.
===AIR SLASH ABILITY===
Your claws make you able to air slash too. With the Air Slash Ability, perform a double-jump that damages opponents upon landing.
==NO STRUCTURES, LOTS OF MONSTERS==
Horde Rush is back! But this time, the Cube Monsters have a trick up their sleeve — this is Zero Build Horde Rush. With your teammates, can you take down hordes of monsters, collect score multipliers, earn combos, survive at different locations, AND take down the Final Boss without the aid of building? Find out while Zero Build Horde Rush is available in the Discover screen until well after Fortnitemares ends (November 15 when downtime for v22.40 begins).
That’s right, Zero Build Horde Rush will remain beyond November 1 for a limited time. After Fortnitemares ends, look out for Horde Rush Quests you can complete for a special reward…
==CONFRONT YOUR FORTNITEMARES==
You’ve learned about the upcoming Horde Rush Quests, but there are also general Fortnitemares Quests starting now! Among other things, these Quests will see you perform the Alteration Altar ritual, visit Fortnitemarish places like Grim Gables, and use unvaulted items like Candy and the Pumpkin Launcher. Complete Fortnitemares Quests to earn XP… plus some pleasant surprises.
Fortnitemares Candy plus the Pumpkin Launcher.
Two Fortnitemares Quests will become available daily over the course of 14 days. For completing five, you’ll unlock the Everything's End Glider. For completing 13, you’ll unlock the Chrome Cage Back Bling. And for completing 25, you’ll unlock the Unmaker Pickaxe. The Quests will be available to complete until Fortnitemares ends on November 1 at 2 AM ET.
==ISLANDS BEYOND PARADISE==
Want to keep the scares going? Or maybe the party? Fortunately, in this year’s Fortnitemares Callout, we challenged creators to design islands about frights, delights, or both. Check out the Fright and Delight row in Discover during Fortnitemares 2022 and browse some of our favorite map submissions!
==BE AFRAID: NO LONGER JUST CONCEPTS==
Recently, the Sinister Glare and Undying Sorrow Outfits arose in the Item Shop. These new Outfits were inspired by concepts from the winners of March’s Concept Royale: @Dreowings and @kitsunexkitsu! Check out our interview with these talented artists discussing their concepts’ inspirations, their artistic background, how it feels to win Concept Royale, and more.
==MORE IN V22.20: CUSTOM DIAGONALS KEYBOARD MOVEMENT==
In v22.20, a “Custom Diagonals Keyboard Movement” setting has been added to the Mouse and Keyboard settings tab. With this new setting, you're now able to adjust the diagonal movement of your character to your preferred angle of movement.
To enable the setting, go to the Mouse and Keyboard tab and toggle “Use Custom Diagonals” to “On.” Then, adjust the “Forward Diagonal Angle” and “Backward Diagonal Angle” to your preferred movement angle.
==COMPETITIVE NOTES==
*With the exception of map changes, the Fortnitemares changes are not included in competitive playlists.
==MAJOR BUG FIXES==
*Reboot Cards no longer sink if the player was eliminated in water.
*Players are again able to see the progress of their EvoChrome weapon evolutions in competitive playlists.
*Moving the right stick on controller no longer unintentionally navigates menus.
*Fixed an issue on mobile causing water to appear as if it was floating above the ground.
There’s an inkling of a new foe on the Island during Fortnitemares, having set up camp in a new floor of the Grim Gables house… See if you can defeat him to obtain his Mythic weapon! (You may want to bring some help along.)
Oh, and some species of wildlife have disappeared in Fortnitemares — could a zombified species have gotten to them? Or perhaps they escaped by Motorboat, explaining Motorboats’ disappearance… 
|-|Creative = 
The Fortnite v22.20 update brings the brand-new Direct Event Binding system for devices in Creative! Also, with the new AI Patrol Path Node device, you can create patrol paths for guards spawned from a Guard Spawner device. You can find basic instructions for the AI Patrol Path Node here in the patch notes. v22.20 also includes updates and bug fixes for devices, Prefabs, and Galleries.
==DIRECT EVENT BINDING==
The v22.20 update introduces a new system that will completely change the way you build islands: Direct Event Binding! Direct Event Binding allows devices to communicate directly with other devices. Using the new UI that comes with this system, you can set up connections between devices without having to worry about channel limits, or needing to edit the channels on each copy-pasted device on your island. For more information on the Direct Event Binding system, see the official Fortnite blog post about it. We'll also have an overview of the system and instructions for using it in our official Creative documentation.
==AI PATROL PATH NODE DEVICE==
The AI Patrol Path Node device creates a path that Guards can follow to patrol an area when they are not in combat. Here's how to use it:
*Place the device from the Creative Inventory or the Quick Bar to begin a new patrol path.
*Use the copy control (which is labeled Append when used with this device) to create new nodes, then use the paste control (labeled as Move when used with this device) to append those new nodes to the patrol path.
*If you copy a node from the middle of a patrol path and paste it, it will append a new node between the copied node and the next in line.
*If you cut a node and then paste it, it will move the existing node without adding a new one.
*Deleting a node will cause the nodes before and after it to connect to each other.
*Placing a new AI Patrol Path Node device from the Quick Bar will always begin a completely new path.
*Choose a group number using the Patrol Path Group option in the Customize panel for the device.
*Place a Guard Spawner and customize the Spawn On Patrol Path Group option to match the Patrol Path Group you set in the AI Patrol Path Node device.
*Guards spawned from that customized spawner will now follow the path for their Patrol Path Group when they are not in combat.
This is just a basic example. To learn more about this device, check out its page on the official Creative documentation site!
