The Fortnite Halloween event is going great. Epic Games has added plenty of special tasks and rare rewards for players. Halloween is among the most significant events for the developers and players, and that’s why developers are always ready to bring something exceptional during this event. Players can explore new areas, find candies, and battle against Shadows. All event challenges are offering something new, but the Shadow Mode is slightly different. The Shadow Challenge is offering great XP, but players have to complete the challenge first. In the challenge, players have to hunt down other Shadows to eliminate them.

How to Detect A Shadow

Step 1: Become a Shadow

To detect Shadow, players have to become one. The process of becoming is fairly simple. To turn into a Shadow, you must die. Once you’re dead, you’ll respawn, but this time as a Shadow. Once you become a Shadow, you can hunt down normal players and Shadows.


Step 2: Learn the Powers

Shadows are different from other Fortnite avatars because they possess some special abilities. Shadows can’t use weapons; neither do they have any equipment to use. They usually hunt the living. Their special abilities are a basic claw attack, dashing objects, and high jump. Shadows can also operate the vehicles and run them over the actual players. The only power that Shadows require is Shriek, and it can be used by pressing the R key on the keyboard.

Step 3: Shrieking Loudly and Often

Shriek is the ability that allows the players to detect other Shadows. While using Shriek's ability, players can hunt down Shadows that appear in red. Players can also detect Shadows through the wall and track them easily. Shriek ability highlights every Shadow, which makes things quite easy. It’s a useful ability that alerts the players if they are about to get hit by a Shadow. In a popular game, Dead by Daylight, the same mechanic is available.

Step 4: Where to Shriek

The challenge asks the players to detect a total of 10 Shadows. Players can complete the following challenge in a single match easily. Currently, in The Ruins location, players can find plenty of players and also “Shadow Midas.” So simply, you have to land there and become a Shadow and use the Shriek to complete the challenge quickly. 

The biggest challenge of the Halloween event is the Shadow challenge. In the following challenge, players have to become a shadow, search for the players, and eliminate the opponents. Epic Games also released the same challenge the previous year, but they have improved many features this time. Shadow challenges are offering huge amounts of XP that are worth acquiring to unlock special skins.

Conclusion 

Fortnite is among the biggest Battle Royale, and its challenges are always unique. As compared to other Battle Royale games, Fortnite offers the biggest rewards like weapons, abilities, and skins. Players have to become a Shadow to locate other Shadows. It’s true that Shadows can’t use weapons to eliminate the opponents, but they have some special abilities to use. Using the special abilities and by Shriek, players can easily detect other nearby Shadows. Fortnite is currently available on Xbox One, PC, PS4, and Nintendo Switch.
