While many may not want to invest too much into their Halloween costumes this year due to COVID-19 closures and restrictions, Epic Games is giving gamers a fun DIY alternative that they can customize to their liking through a series of Fortnite Halloween masks that take inspiration from different game characters.
Gamers can browse through options on the Fortnitemares Cosplay site, where they'll find a selection of cardboard and paper masks that range in challenge levels. Themes include Fortnite's Skull Trooper, Ghoul Trooper, and Arachne. Players can also create a mini foldable of Big Mouth, which is quicker and less challenging to make.
Once they've decided on the character, users can download the template and decorate their mask with their choice of markers, paints, and any other accessories. After they've completed their creation, they can share it with the Fortnite community online using #MYFORTNITEMARES.
