For free-to-play players, the most crucial addition with Fortnite update v18.20 is of the two new NPCs. The first new one is Dire, the level 100 battle pass skin from Chapter 1 Season 6. The scary wolf seems fit to join the NPC with Halloween just a few days away.

Along with Dire, Ragsy, the post-apocalyptic version of the Cuddle Team Leader, is also arriving in Fortnite as an NPC. The skin returns from Chapter 1 Season X to join the spooky festivities.

Both new NPCs have their respective Punchcards that will contain five challenges each. Similar to the previous challenges, these too will be worth 30,000XP each.

New weapons and map changes in Fortnite update v18.20

Epic had directly hinted at the arrival of Combat weapons in Fortnite via a recent tweet. Leaks from update v18.20 suggest that there will be a Combat Assault Rifle vs Combat SMG War Effort mode that will show up in the game.

Although players would have expected significant map changes to fit the Halloween theme, unfortunately, Fortnite update v18.20 brings no substantial changes to the map. The only tweak that took place was the removal of the Sideways from Pleasant Park, Believer Beach & Weeping Woods.
