"It wouldn't be Fortnitemares without undead armaments," Epic said. "The Wood Stake Shotgun, Pumpkin
Launcher, and Witch Broom are back! Fire wooden stakes that sting, launch explosive jack-o'-lanterns, or whisk yourself up in the air and glide back down."

Here's how to get the Pumpkin Launcher, the Witch Broom, and the Wood Stake Shotgun in Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 4 during Fortnitemares 2024.

How to get the Pumpkin Launcher and Wood Stake Shotgun in Fortnite during Fortnitemares 2024

To get the Pumpkin Launcher and Wood Stake Shotgun, you must go to Brawler’s Patch (formerly Brawler’s Battleground). You can find this location in the bottom-right corner of the map.

Once you get into Brawler's Patch, all you have to do is defeat Ultima Carver.

The Witch Broom can be found from the ground, Chests, and Loot Island.

While this isn't exactly ideal, at least you don't have to defeat anyone to get the Witch Broom as you need for the Wood Stake Shotgun and Pumpkin launcher.

The Fortnitemares 2024 update will go live on Oct. 11 after a server maintenance period. Here are all the skins we know thus far:
