Enter: The Storm King.

In Fortnitemares, the Storm King Limited-Time Mode puts 20 players on the field to face off against the gigantic boss as it awakens and arises at the center of the island.

Players need to work together to destroy three weak spots on the Storm King’s body before being able to deal direct damage. Meanwhile, hordes of zombies, falling meteors, and energy beams fired by the Storm King itself will keep you on your toes.

As if all that wasn’t enough, a “daunting enrage timer” spices up the action further. Winners of the challenge will be rewarded with a Storm Sail Umbrella, among other Halloween-themed cosmetics.
