If you want to swot up on the quests, rewards and candy locations in Fortnitemares 2021, this is the article for you. Keep on reading and we’ll run through all the important details.
Where to find candy locations in Fortnitemares 2021
One of the Fortnitemares quests tells you to ‘collect candy’, and so you might wonder which locations on the Fortnite map are primed with sweet treats for you to pillage.
You’ll want to head to Lazy Lake, Pleasant Park or Retail Row and look for houses bedecked with Halloween directions. Outside these houses, you’ll see big bowls of candy, which you can smash with your weapon of choice. Candies will fall to the floor, and you just need to pick them up.
If you’re struggling to find candy locations in Fortnite, take a look at the handy video below, which will show you exactly where to drop on the map and what you need to do to collect candy.
Fornitemares 2021 rewards
Candy isn’t the only thing you can get for free this Halloween. There are a number of free rewards that you can earn during Fortnitemares 2021, as long as you’re willing to put in the work and tick off a few of the seasonal quests.
Completing any single Fortnitemares quest will earn you the Raven’s Curse Spray. Completing two Fortnitemares quests will get you the Moonlit Duel Loading Screen. And if you complete three Fortnitemares quests, you’ll earn the Wrathful Breakout Contrail.
There are also some rewards tied to specific quest lines. If you complete Ariana Grande’s Monster Hunter Punchcard quest, your reward will be the All-Weather Extractor Pickaxe. And if you complete Dark Jonesy’s The Oracle Speaks Punchcard quest, your reward will be the Cube Cruiser Glider.
Who you gonna call? Ghostbusters! If you complete the Containment Specialist’s Ghostbusters: Afterlife Punchcard, which was added to the game most recently, you’ll become the proud owner of the No Ghost Back Bling.

Fortnitemares 2021 Horde Rush rewards
The Horde Rush limited-time mode also has some rewards attached to it. What is Horde Rush in Fortnite, you ask? Well, it’s a returning mode that went live on 19th October – in a classic horror game trope, you and your online multiplayer comrades will have to fight off waves of oncoming enemies.
If you earn 2,000,000 combined team points in Horde Rush mode, you’ll receive the Thinking Juice Back Bling. If you complete 20 Horde Rush quests, you’ll get the Cube Queen Skin. And if you earn a team score of at least 400,000 in Horde Rush, you’ll be rewarded with the Fortnitemares Spray.
