Saw’s ‘Billy the Puppet’ is now an item in Fortnite. Here’s what it does and how you can get it.
Fortnite's annual Halloween 'Fortnitemares 2024' event goes live after the downtime concludes. However, Epic Games has unleashed patch notes covering the returning Horde Rush LTM, new items, weapons, and more. Of the two new items in this forthcoming update, the Saw-themed 'Boom Billy' item is a unique addition to Fortnite's loot pool. Here is everything you need to know about this exploding puppet.
What is the Boom Billy item in Fortnite?
The Boom Billy item, soon available in the Fortnitemares 2024 update, revolves around the recently released Fortnite x Saw collaboration, particularly Jigsaw's trusty pal Billy the Puppet. Here's how it works: Once deployed, the mini-Billy Puppet will lock onto the nearest opponent and ride a tricycle toward them before exploding. It's simple, effective, and adequately themed for a Fortnite Halloween event.
While we don't have the damage or stack values, your best bet to avoid the Boom Billy's wrath in Fortnite is to run or presumably shoot it before it reaches you. Once more details are available, we will update this article accordingly.

Where can I find the new Saw-themed weapon?
You can utilize one of three methods to locate the Boom Billy weapon in Fortnite and add it to your inventory. They will be available in Chests, on the ground, and by visiting the Billy the Puppet non-player character (NPC). This character spawns at Freaky Fields every match, and you must defeat him to claim the Boom Billy.
Otherwise, you can eliminate an opponent with the item in their inventory and take it from them. Although that may be the most challenging option, there's no shortage available if you want to try it out.
Apart from the Boom Billy item, there's a Chainsaw, plenty of returning weapons and items, and even new skins coming to Fortnite during Fortnitemares 2024!
