Fortnite "Fortnitemares" Battle Royale Disabled Due To Matchmaking Issues

Epic has temporarily disabled Fortnite's new Halloween event, Fortnitemares, in its free Battle Royale mode. The company said it is investigating issues with matchmaking that apparently sprung up around the new event, and encourages players to keep an eye on its status page for updates on when it will come back.

You can still play standard Battle Royale matches without the Fortnitemares twist. When Fortnitemares is active in Battle Royale, you can complete challenges to earn new cosmetic rewards, like the new reactive skin Deadfire. Both it and some associated other pieces of gear will change throughout the match based on how you play.

This initial set of challenges mostly involves taking down the new cube monsters that appear in Fortnitemares, visiting corrupted areas, and dancing with gargoyles. The challenges and rewards are set to change every few days throughout the event, which will last through November 26.

Fortnitemares is also available in the paid PvE mode, Save the World. That one brings back Hexsylvania with new story quests. Logging into Save the World during the event will earn you a few skins, and founder's packs are currently half-priced. That was all announced alongside word that Save the World isn't going free-to-play this year as previously planned.
