Fortnite's Fortnitemares event has arrived, and that means that it is time for the Pumpkin Launcher to be unvaulted once again. It is customary that players are given access to this reskinned Rocket Launcher around Halloween, and many fans will undoubtedly want to get ahold of this special weapon while it is available. This guide is here to assist with that endeavor, and it will provide details on the various sources for the Pumpkin Launcher in Fortnite.

Fortnite: How to Get a Pumpkin Launcher

The easiest way to procure a Pumpkin Launcher is to head to a location with an abundance of floor loot and Chests. Indeed, this special Fortnite weapon can be obtained from both of those standard loot sources, and locations like Cloudy Condos, Lustrous Lagoon, and Rave Cave are particularly good places to look. That said, there is no shortage of floor loot and Chests at most of the named locations on the map, and fans should be able to find a Pumpkin Launcher almost anywhere with some careful searching.

Alternatively, Fortnite fans can focus their efforts on dispatching the Inkquisitor, a new Mythic Boss that can be found underneath the house at Grim Gables. This boss will frequently drop a Pumpkin Launcher when eliminated, making it a good targetable source for the weapon. Players are advised to put a bit of effort toward obtaining some decent weapons and shield before taking on the Inkquisitor, though, lest they find themselves unable to bring down the enemy.

To note the Pumpkin Launcher is not the only item that has been unvaulted for Fortnite's Fortnitemares 2022 event, as Candy is also back in Battle Royale. Players can find an abundance of these sweet treats in the Halloween buckets scattered across Fort Jonsey, a named location in the southeast quadrant of the map. For the uninitiated, Candy provides a variety of benefits, with much of it restoring small amounts of health to damaged players.

A brand-new item is also making its debut during the Halloween event, and it is the Howler Claws. To obtain this item, players should visit an Alteration Alter near Chromejam Junction, Cloudy Condos, Flutter Barn, Lustrous Lagoon, the Reality Tree, Shimmer Shrine, or Shiny Sound and perform a dance. When that is done, fans can use their Howler Claws to hit an opponent while Wolfscent is active and complete one of Fortnite's Fortnitemares 2022 Quests.

Fortnite is available for Nintendo Switch, PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
