Spooky season is here and Fortnite brings back its annual Halloween update with Fortnitemares 2024 through its content patch 31.40 which is slated to drop on October 11. However, the fun and scares of the update won’t be enjoyed only by the Battle Royale fans, but also the LEGO Fortnite players as well.

The update will also bring a new LEGO Fortnite season called Brick or Treat which is full of Halloween-themed features, items, a new mini-pass, and even a new style of gameplay which players have been waiting for. Without further ado, here are the patch notes for LEGO Fortnite’s Halloween update.

LEGO Fortnite Halloween update patch notes

October is here and sinister surprises are ready to jump out in LEGO Fortnite! Not feeling brave? Don’t forget you can bring a friend to help conquer your fears in split-screen. v31.40 haunts LEGO Fortnite on October 11!

Get Scary in Split-Screen!

Trick or treating is always better with a friend by your side! In case you missed it, LEGO Fortnite now supports split-screen on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, and Xbox One.

Here’s a quick guide on how to access split-screen in LEGO Fortnite: 

  1. Start Fortnite and go to the LEGO Fortnite Lobby.
  2. Connect the second controller.
  3. Select the second player’s console account. (Note: Guest and Quick Play console accounts are not supported.)
  4. After picking a console account, Fortnite will automatically ask the player to link their Epic account. (If they link their Epic account, they can access their Locker Outfits, Passes, Quests, and other progress.)
  5. After the second player is logged into Fortnite, they will appear in the Lobby.
  6. Hold onto your bricks… Split-screen mode will automatically begin when you start LEGO Fortnite!

Making a ghoulish game room? Maybe a place to rest in pieces? With the Brick or Treat LEGO Pass, unlock in-game rewards to make your creepiest creation dreams come true!

If you’re feeling the chill of inspiration, learn how the Brick or Treat LEGO Pass works:

  1. After selecting the LEGO Fortnite experience in Fortnite, go to the LEGO Pass button in the top navigation.
  2. Here you’ll see the LEGO Pass and a button to view Quests. These Quests are about celebrating the “trick or treat” season in your world! Complete them to earn Studs.
  3. The more Studs you collect, the further you’ll progress in the LEGO Pass! Unlock in-game rewards from the free reward track as you progress. If you want, you can also unlock in-game rewards from the purchasable Premium Reward Track.

You’ll find ten Decor Bundles in the free reward track, as well as The Dump on Old Durrr Drive Build as the final reward. Give it a bit of TLC, and it’ll soon feel like home!

Looking for even more spine-tingling swag? The Premium Reward Track costs 1,400 V-Bucks and has 11 extra rewards you can unlock alongside the free reward track. You don’t need to complete extra Quests to get these rewards, so don’t get scared when you unlock more for doing the same amount of stuff!

Frankie’s Laboratory and the Countess of Repose are just two of the eight Decor Bundles you can unlock in this reward track. There are also three Builds, including The Ruin of Rue Royale as the final reward! It’s haunted… but spacious.

After upgrading to the Premium Reward Track, you’ll instantly unlock the Andy Fangerson Outfit — he bears his fangs with both a LEGO Style and a Fortnite Style!

Heads-up! The Brick or Treat LEGO Pass will be available to progress in until December 10, 2024, at 2 AM ET. Its free rewards, premium rewards, and Andy Fangerson Outfit reward are not exclusive to the Pass, as you may be able to purchase them in the Fortnite Shop at a later date.

What’s This? It’s Halloween Town!

Improvements and Adjustments

  • Added map markers for NaNa Villages, allowing players to find the villages more easily when they’re in range of one.
  • Fixed an issue where an enemy’s Crossbow didn’t change color in certain situations.
