It's been a bust couple of weeks for Fortnite as the annual Fortnitemares event for 2022 has recently come to a close. During the Halloween inspired event, players could turn into werewolves by DJ Lyka at the Reality Tree, unlocking new abilities like Wolfscent tracking as well as a four-hit slash attack. New cosmetics were also a major piece to this update including an Ash Williams outfit and a number of items from the popular TV show Rick and Morty.
Fortnitemares also brought back the popular cooperative mode Horde Rush, where up to four players fight waves of monsters while moving through a map, earning score mulipliers and trying to stay alive to face off against the boss. This year's version used Fortnite's popular Zero Build mode rules, adding a twist and more difficulty as players can't build structures to save themselves from the increasing hordes of creatures.
While Fortnitemares is now over, Epic Games has revealed that Horde Rush isn't leaving just yet. To replace the Halloween content, Epic has added new Horde Rush specific quests into Fortnite with a new reward for completing every one.
Horde Rush Rewards
Just like most quests in the game, players will unlock various amounts of XP to help level up the Fortnite Battle Pass.
However, for most players, the ultimate prize is the Pickle Rick cosmetic back bling. Earning the reward is pretty straightforward but does require a bit of dedication before Horde Rush comes to an end on November 15.
How to Unlock Pickle Rick
While most new cosmetics in Fortnite are placed in the game's store, the Pickle Rick Back Bling is free to earn. However, in order to unlock it, players will need to complete 8 out of the 11 Horde Rush specific quests. Many of these are pretty straightforward and shouldn't take players too long to get to. While there may be a couple that could provide a challenge, players don't need to finish all of them to score the cosmetic, so there is a bit of wiggle room.
Here is the full list of Horde Rush quests:
- Eliminate Cube Monsters
- Open chests in Horde Rush
- Collect score multipliers
- Eliminate ranged Cube Monsters with Sideways weapons
- Earn a x50 KO Streak
- Get headshots on Cube Monsters in a single match

- Earn 2,000,000 combined team points
- Earn a Team Score of at least 350,000 in a single match
- Eliminate poison or exploding Cube Monsters from at least 15 meters away
- Deal damage to Cube Monsters
Fortnite is available now on PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and mobile devices.
