Fortnite update 6.20 PATCH NOTES: Early Epic Games Halloween news, Skins, Server Downtime (Pic: EPIC GAMES)
Fortnite Battle Royale and Save the World players should be all set to receive a brand new update tomorrow morning as Epic Games looks set to roll out a new v6.20 Content Update.
This hasn't been confirmed by the official Fortnite Twitter account just yet, but given the normal Tuesday Fortnite update was delayed once again and a new Fortnitemares event starting tomorrow, it seems as good as certain.
Assuming that the developers stick to their usual schedule we could see the update arrive in the morning potentially with some server downtime.
New updates usually drop at around 9am BST with patch notes also going live at the same time.
Although we can't say for certain, we already have a pretty solid idea as to what some of the new content will look like for the games next big update.
There will also probably be the usual spate of bug fixes for the game.
For now, keep reading for a rundown for some of the main features expected to drop with the next big Fortnite update.

Pumpkin Rocket Launcher
It looks like the famous Pumpking Rocket Launcher will be making a return in Battle Royale.
This stems from a tweet by Eric Williamson, Design Lead on Fortnite Battle Royale at Epic Games, who posted a Tweet which pretty much mimicked the noise the weapon makes in game (see below).
The limited time weapon was added to the game during Fortnites first Halloween event, Fortnitemares.
It's obvious why this weapon could be making a return. Although, we imagine it's still going to be for a small amount of time, so make the most of it whilst you still can
thoomp heheheh… WAAAH

A new Ghoul Skin and Cosmetics?
You've probably seen some of the images teasing the return of Fortnitemares. Well, it's possible that the images might also be teasing some new cosmetic items too.
The always helpful Fortnite Battle Royale Leaks Twitter account has suggested that some of the images might be clues to some upcoming cosmetics available as part of Fortnitemares.
For example, a new skin (Ghoul Zombie), new backbling (the mini cube) and a new version of the Revolver weapon, which was recently vaulted.
New Vehicle?
We realise the game only just added the Quadcrasher Vehicle, but it looks like the game already has another vehicle lined up.
In fact, this one seems to be animal themed. It's called the 'Antelope.
Files relating to this new vehicle was discovered in the last update, but as Fortnite Intel reports, the assets are incomplete. So whether this is for something far off, or something they plan to release shortly, isn't clear.
Still, a rideable creature for a silly Halloween event would be kinda cool!
Seems the recent introduction of the Quadcrasher Vehicle to Fortnites Battle Royale mode just wasnt enough, it appears that drivable animals may be coming to the game in the future.

New Battle Royale LTM?
Leading up to the release of Fortnitemares, Epic Games have posted a new picture and a sort of poem every day. And we think it might be teasing a new LTM for the game, potentially revealing how it will work.
Have a quick read:
Fortnitemares Teaser 1:
Costumes and dancing,
Partner up, be wise.
They could be friendly,
Or a ghoul in disguise.
Fortnitemares Teaser 2:
Tombstones quake,
Keep your finger steady.
The circle will close,
Better be ready.
Fortnitemares Teaser 3:
Take the shot,
If you have enough to last.
The wind calls out,
Fill your chambers, fast.
Fortnitemares Teaser 4:
The crack of lightning
Illuminates your wins
Arise, dark ones-
The fight begins.
We think it sounds like they're cryptically describing the rules to a new LTM. Exactly what it is yet we don't know. We'll find out soon enough.
Let us know what you think in the comments below.
