Fortnitemares 2025 is officially here, bringing with it a flood of new content, from mythic bosses to secret skins and free rewards. The Halloween event is packed with surprises, including hidden mythic weapons, Twitch drops, and even major leaks about Fortnite Chapter 7 and the rumored Simpsons crossover season. Here’s a breakdown of everything uncovered so far.
New Mythic Weapons in Fortnitemares 2025
The event introduces three unique mythics, each tied to powerful new bosses. The first comes from DoAT, a boss found at the new Supernova Academy POI. Defeating her drops the Chain of Hades, a reworked version far stronger than before. It’s one of the most contested areas right now due to heavy landing traffic.
Next is the Highstakes Shotgun, earned by defeating the Jason Mythic boss in the snow biome. This weapon hits for nearly 100 damage from long range, making it one of the most powerful shotguns in the game. Finally, the Ghost Face Mythic stands out for its unique ability: a phone mechanic that pings enemies on the map, similar to a UAV. Players can also use dash attacks, stalk mode, and fast lunges, making this weapon both stylish and deadly.
How to Unlock the Ghost Face Skin
The Ghost Face skin can already be unlocked through an in-game method. Scattered around the island are special phone booths. Entering one with a full inventory transforms the player into Ghost Face. After exiting, avoid picking up the mythic weapon to maintain the transformation glitch. This allows players to use the Ghost Face model freely, even building and eliminating opponents.
Additionally, Twitch drops for Fortnitemares 2025 include a treat-themed back bling and pickaxe, earned by watching Fortnite streams for 30 minutes and one hour respectively. Players must link their Epic Games and Twitch accounts to claim these rewards.
The Simpsons Season and Chapter 7 Leaks
Dataminers discovered a Simpsons-themed glider and a “Duff Splash” consumable in the latest update, hinting at a full Simpsons season. The event description suggests a Simpsons battle pass launching on November 1, with follow-up updates on November 11 and November 30 leading into Chapter 7.
According to the leak, the next map will feature Springfield, replacing the current Chapter 6 island. It’s described as a compact map similar in size to Reload mode maps. The “Duff Splash” will function like a chug splash but themed after Homer’s favorite drink from the show.
Free Rewards, Crew Pack, and Upcoming Events
Players can earn multiple free cosmetics through account levels before November 1. These include:
-
Pig the Butcher Outfit
-
Butcher’s Knife Pickaxe
-
Spooky Cosmetic Bundle
-
Toxic Peely Plushie Back Bling
Some items remain encrypted, including the rumored Sprite Back Bling and Spooky Stroll Emote. Additionally, a free Heart Sign Emote is live in the item shop and can be claimed for zero V-Bucks through the Epic Games web store, unlocking the Gold Skull Peel Pack Back Bling.
The November Crew Pack features Max Speed, a racer-inspired skin with dual-wield “Racer’s Reavers” pickaxes. Meanwhile, the Peacemaker Emote has returned after being removed briefly, with free refunds available for players unhappy with the changes.
Looking further ahead, Chapter 7 leaks point to four themed seasons, starting with a grounded urban-Nordic hybrid and featuring collaborations like James Bond and Meliodas from The Seven Deadly Sins.
