The most notable change is the addition of the new mech vehicle, called B.R.U.T.E. The B.R.U.T.E. is a giant robot you can walk around in and shoot rockets out of.

Fortnite: Where to Find Candy To get right to it, Candy can be found in the Halloween buckets that are sitting in front of houses across Fortnite’s map. It is thus recommended that players target areas with a high-density of houses as they work on the challenge, and Lazy Lake, Pleasant Park, and Retail Row are all great options to consider. Indeed, there are numerous Halloween buckets scattered around these three locations, and players should hit them with their harvesting tools to extract the Candy that they are after....
