How To Become A Shadow In Fortnite

Fortnitemares, Fortnite's annual Halloween event, has arrived, bringing with it new challenges that give players additional experience and a few special items. In one of these challenges, you are tasked to become a Shadow. To do this, you actually have to die and come back from the dead as a spectral creature. It's perfect for Halloween, and we have all the information you need to complete the challenge. Here's how to become a Shadow in Fortnite for the Fortnitemares event.

How Do I Become A Shadow?

Fortnitemares playlists have replaced all standard modes in the game so you won't be able to hop into a regular battle royale. The Fortnitemares playlists see you automatically become a shadow once you die. You'll need to die and become a shadow three times in order to complete the challenge.

Shadows roam around the map, killing other players with their special jump, dash, and claw abilities. Shadows only have one additional life and will die if their health bar reaches zero. You can consume shields, health items, ammo, weapons, and building materials to gain health as a shadow.
