The server downtime is now over and Fortnite Update 18.20 is live so we're keen to see what it plans to add to the game now that the spookiness of Fortnitemares is in full swing.

One big change was the increase to XP earned to NPC punchcards. While previous punchcards were not changed, all future ones will dish out 30,000 XP per quest. This is a vast improvement on the original offering which saw XP increase by 2,000 per quest to a maximum of 20,000.

Here's everything you need to know about Fortnite Update 18.20.
