The returning items are:
- Pumpkin Launcher: The classic rocket launcher is reskinned as a pumpkin launcher.
- Witch Broom: One of the best mobility items in Fortnite, which allows you to soar into the sky and cancel the flying animation to drop on unsuspecting enemies.
- Sanguine Sweets: Candy that gives you different effects depending on the type. You can find candy corn, peppermints, hop drops, and jelly beans in candy buckets and other areas.
