  Fortnite has dropped its latest weekly update, and, unsurprisingly, it’s full of spooky Halloweeny content. The big addition is the Fortnitemares PvPvE event – the Cube has returned, and it’s spawning baddies, which drop loot and shield boosts when killed. New Fortnitemares story quests are also coming to Save the World. In addition to the new event, battle royale is getting the badass Six Shooter gun and a bunch of new goodies for Playground mode. You can check out a Fortnitemares trailer, below.

  Here are your notes for Fortnite patch 6.20:
