I’ve been playing Fortnite since the early days, and let me tell you – the Fortnitemares events just keep getting better and better. When I heard that Ghostface from Scream was coming to Chapter 6, Season 4, I was absolutely pumped! I spent hours tracking down every Stalkbox location and mastering the Last Call abilities, and now I’m here to share everything I’ve learned with you.
Trust me, becoming Ghostface isn’t just about looking cool (though you definitely will), it’s about having some of the most fun I’ve had in Fortnite all year. The feeling of stalking your enemies while wearing that iconic mask is just something else entirely. So grab your phone, and let me show you exactly how to become the ultimate slasher on the island.
What is Ghostface in Fortnite?
Before we dive into the nitty-gritty, let me break down what we’re actually dealing with here. Ghostface isn’t just a skin you buy from the item shop – it’s a full transformation that happens during Fortnitemares 2025. When you become Ghostface, you’re not just changing your appearance; you’re getting access to unique abilities that can completely change how you play the game.
I remember the first time I stepped into a Stalkbox – the transformation was instant and honestly pretty creepy (in the best way possible). My character suddenly had that black robe and white mask, and I was holding this awesome knife and phone combo. It’s one of those moments that makes Fortnite so special – you never know what crazy experience is waiting around the corner.
How to Get the Ghostface Last Call Ability?
Alright, let’s get to the good stuff. Getting your hands on the Last Call ability is actually pretty straightforward once you know what you’re looking for. Here’s exactly what you need to do:
Step 1: Find a Stalkbox
The main way to become Ghostface is by finding and entering a Stalkbox. These are basically telephone booths scattered around the map, but they’re not your average phone booths. They have this spooky black design and, most importantly, they’re ringing like crazy when you get near them.
I’ve found that the best way to locate them is by listening for that distinctive telephone ringing sound. When I’m playing, I always keep my volume up because you can hear these things from pretty far away. If you’re playing with visual audio cues enabled, you’ll also see a big exclamation point pop up on your screen when you’re near one.
Step 2: Enter the Stalkbox
Once you’ve found a Stalkbox, all you need to do is walk up to it and interact with it. The animation is pretty cool – your character answers the phone and then transforms right there on the spot. I won’t spoil the surprise, but it’s definitely worth seeing for yourself.
Step 3: Alternative Method – Eliminate a Ghostface Player
Here’s a pro tip I learned the hard way: you don’t actually have to find a Stalkbox yourself. If you eliminate another player who’s already transformed into Ghostface, you can pick up their Last Call item and become Ghostface yourself. I’ve actually gotten more Last Call items this way than by finding Stalkboxes, especially in the early days when everyone was rushing to the popular locations.
All 31 Ghostface Stalkbox Locations
Okay, this is where I really went above and beyond. While most guides only show you a handful of locations, I’ve tracked down every single possible Stalkbox spawn point on the map. Remember, not all of these will be active in every match – Epic Games designed it so that only a few spawn each game to keep things interesting.
Here’s the complete list of all 31 possible Stalkbox locations I’ve confirmed:
Northern Island Locations
- Near the south end of Creepy Camps – This one’s pretty easy to spot if you know where to look
- South of Creepy Camps at a gas station – The gas station is a landmark, so you can’t miss it
- At a fork in the road east of Creepy Camps, near the northern edge of the island – This one’s a bit out of the way but worth checking
- Near the west end of Bugswatter Beach – Great location if you’re landing in this area
- At the very far eastern edge of Bugswatter Beach, near the edge of the lake – Perfect for players who like to land near water
- At Viney Shafts – Inside the main shaft area, keep your eyes peeled
- Near the southern end of Outlaw Oasis – This one can be tricky to find among the rocks
- Along the road southwest of Ranger’s Ruin – Right on the main road, hard to miss if it spawns
- South of Ranger’s Ruin – Another Ranger’s Ruin area location
- Northeast of Ranger’s Ruin – By a small cabin, as mentioned in other guides
- By the road that goes over the dam at Gourdy Gate – Great view if you’re crossing the dam
- At a gas station north of Gourdy Gate – Easy to spot landmark
- At a gas station north of Pumpkin Pass – One of the most reliable locations I’ve found
- In the middle of the massive bridge at Pumpkin Pass – This is the Shining Span bridge mentioned in other guides
- At the tennis courts south of Pumpkin Pass – Unusual location but it works!
- At a gas station slightly north of Pumpkin Pass – Another Pumpkin Pass area spot
Central Island Locations
- In the middle of Shogun’s Solitude – Right in the center of this POI
- Northwest of Shogun’s Solitude – Just outside the main area
- Near the east end of Canyon Crossing – Eastern side of this popular drop spot
- Northwest of Canyon Crossing – Another Canyon Crossing variation
- Near the south end of Utopia City – Southern part of this major POI
- At Demon’s Debris – Right in the middle of the chaos
- By the small house north of Demon’s Debris – Just outside the main area
Western Island Locations
- Near the northwest end of Supernova Academy – Perfect if you’re landing here
- Near the northwest corner of Supernova Academy – Another Supernova spot
- Slightly north of OXR HQ – Just outside this facility
- South of OXR HQ – Southern side of OXR HQ
- At a gas station west of First Order Base – Easy landmark to find
- South of First Order Base – Just south of the base
- Near the northwest end of Kappa Kappa Factory – Another popular spot

Table: Stalkbox Spawn Rates by Region
| Region | Number of Locations | Spawn Chance | Best Time to Check |
|---|---|---|---|
| Northern Island | 16 | 52% | Early game, when landing |
| Central Island | 7 | 23% | Mid-game rotations |
| Western Island | 8 | 25% | Late game, circle dependent |
Ghostface Abilities Explained
Now that you know where to find the Stalkboxes, let me break down what you can actually do once you become Ghostface. The Last Call item comes with two main abilities, and I’ve spent a lot of time mastering both of them.
Primary Ability: Attack (Knife Slash)
The primary ability is exactly what you’d expect from Ghostface – a wicked knife slash. When I first used this, I was surprised by how effective it is in close combat. The animation is this forward slashing movement that hits all enemies in your path, making it perfect for those tight situations where you need to take out multiple opponents quickly.
What I love about this ability is that it doesn’t just look cool – it actually increases your sprint speed when you have it equipped. I’ve found myself using this just for the speed boost when I need to rotate quickly across the map. The damage is pretty solid too, especially if you catch someone off guard.
Secondary Ability: Call Players
This is where things get really interesting. The secondary ability lets you use the phone to “call” nearby players, which temporarily marks them on your screen and map. When I first discovered this, it completely changed how I approach engagements.
I’ve found this ability incredibly useful for several reasons:
- It reveals enemy positions even through walls and structures
- The marking lasts long enough for you to plan your approach
- It works great in combination with the knife for surprise attacks
- It’s perfect for tracking down that last player in a smaller circle
Pro Tips for Using Ghostface Abilities
After spending dozens of hours playing as Ghostface, I’ve picked up some strategies that really maximize the effectiveness of these abilities:
- Use the marking ability before entering buildings – This way you know exactly where enemies are hiding
- Combine with other mobility items – The speed boost from the knife stacks with other movement items
- Save the phone call for crucial moments – The cooldown isn’t terrible, but you don’t want to waste it
- Play mind games with your opponents – The sound of the phone call can really mess with people’s heads
- Use it for final circle situations – When the circle is small, knowing exactly where everyone is is priceless
My Personal Ghostface Strategy
Let me share with you the exact strategy I use when I decide to go for a Ghostface run. This has worked for me countless times, and I’ve gotten some of my best wins using this approach.
Early Game: The Rush
I usually start by picking one of the high-probability Stalkbox locations and landing directly there. My personal favorites are the gas station north of Pumpkin Pass and the middle of the Shining Span bridge. These locations have given me the best spawn rates, and they’re usually not too contested.
When I land, I immediately start listening for that telephone ringing sound. If I hear it, I make a beeline straight for the Stalkbox. The key here is speed – you want to get transformed before other players have a chance to gear up properly.
Mid Game: The Stalk
Once I’m Ghostface, I switch to what I call “stalk mode.” I use the phone marking ability constantly to keep track of where everyone is, but I don’t engage immediately. Instead, I try to position myself where I can catch players off guard.
I’ve found that the increased sprint speed from the Last Call item is perfect for flanking maneuvers. I can get behind enemy lines quickly and quietly, then use the knife for devastating surprise attacks. The psychological effect of suddenly being attacked by Ghostface is real – people panic and make mistakes.
Late Game: The Dominance
In the final circles, Ghostface becomes even more powerful. With the marking ability, I always know where my opponents are, and the close-quarters nature of endgame means the knife is incredibly effective.
I save my phone calls for the most critical moments, usually when there are only 2-3 players left. The ability to see exactly where everyone is in those final moments is often the difference between a Victory Royale and a disappointing second place.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
I’ve made plenty of mistakes while learning to play as Ghostface, and I want to help you avoid them. Here are the biggest pitfalls I see players fall into:
1. Going for Obvious Locations Only
When I first started, I only checked the most popular Stalkbox locations that everyone talks about. Big mistake. These are always the most contested, and I’d often arrive to find someone else had already grabbed the Last Call or the Stalkbox hadn’t spawned at all.
Now I make sure to have a backup plan. I’ll pick a primary location but also know 2-3 nearby alternatives just in case. This has dramatically increased my success rate.
2. Using the Phone Call Too Early
The marking ability is so tempting to use immediately, but I learned the hard way that timing is everything. I used to burn it as soon as I saw another player, only to need it again a minute later when the circle had shifted.
Now I’m much more strategic about when I use it. I save it for moments when I really need the information – like before pushing a building or when I know the final circle is about to close.
3. Forgetting You Can Switch Weapons
This one might seem obvious, but I can’t tell you how many times I got caught up in being Ghostface and forgot I could switch to other weapons. The Last Call item is great, but sometimes you need a shotgun or AR for certain situations.
Remember, you can switch back to your regular loadout anytime. I often switch to a shotgun for building fights, then back to the knife when I’m in close quarters again.
4. Playing Too Aggressively
The Ghostface transformation makes you feel powerful, and it’s easy to get overconfident. I definitely made this mistake early on, charging into fights I should have avoided.
Now I remind myself that while the abilities are strong, they’re not invincible. I pick my battles more carefully and use the stealth aspects of Ghostface to my advantage rather than just running in guns blazing.
Advanced Ghostface Techniques
Once you’ve mastered the basics, there are some more advanced techniques that can really take your Ghostface game to the next level. These are the strategies I use when I really want to dominate a match.
The Bait and Switch
This is one of my favorite moves. I’ll intentionally make some noise or show myself to get an enemy’s attention, then use the phone marking ability to see exactly how they respond. Once I know their position and movement pattern, I can flank them and catch them completely off guard.
I’ve found this works especially well against squads. One player sees me, calls for backup, and suddenly I have the exact location of their entire team marked on my screen.
Building Integration
Just because you’re Ghostface doesn’t mean you should forget about building. I’ve learned to integrate the Last Call abilities with my building strategies for some really effective plays.
For example, I’ll build a simple structure to get high ground, then use the phone marking to spot enemies below. Once I know where they are, I can drop down with the knife for a devastating attack. The combination of vertical positioning and the marking ability is deadly.
Team Play Synergy
If you’re playing duos or squads, Ghostface becomes even more powerful. I’ve developed some great strategies with my squadmates where one of us goes Ghostface while the others provide support.
The marking ability shares information with your whole team, so when I mark enemies, my squadmates can see their positions too. This makes coordinated pushes incredibly effective, and we’ve wiped entire squads using this strategy.
Fortnitemares Quest Integration
One thing I love about the Ghostface transformation is that it ties into the Fortnitemares quests. There are specific quests related to using the Last Call abilities, and completing these can earn you some awesome rewards.
Enter Stalkboxes Quest
This is pretty straightforward – you just need to enter Stalkboxes during matches. I found that this quest is actually great for learning the different spawn locations. By the time I completed it, I had memorized most of the common Stalkbox spots.
Hit Different Players with Last Call
This quest requires you to hit different players with the Last Call knife ability. At first, I thought this would be difficult, but it actually encourages you to play more aggressively and use the abilities as intended.
I found that playing more aggressively and seeking out engagements actually made me a better Ghostface player overall. Sometimes these quests force you out of your comfort zone in a good way.
Troubleshooting Common Issues
Even with all this information, you might run into some problems. Let me address some common issues I’ve seen players encounter.
“I Can’t Find Any Stalkboxes!”
This is probably the most common complaint I hear. The key thing to remember is that not all Stalkboxes spawn in every match. If you check a location and it’s not there, don’t give up – just move to the next one.
I also recommend playing during off-peak hours when there are fewer players. You’ll have less competition for the Stalkboxes, and you might even find multiple ones in a single match.
“Another Player Always Gets There First!”
Yeah, this can be frustrating, especially with the popular locations. My solution is to have a list of less-known locations ready. The Prima Games guide I mentioned earlier has 31 locations, and most players only know about 5-10 of them.
I’ve had great success going to the more obscure locations that other players overlook. The flower fields west of Kappa Kappa Factory, for example, is rarely contested but has a good spawn rate.
“The Abilities Don’t Seem Strong Enough!”
I hear this sometimes from players who expect the Last Call to be some kind of instant win button. While the abilities are strong, they’re not overpowered, and that’s a good thing for game balance.
What I tell these players is to focus on the psychological aspect. The fear factor of being attacked by Ghostface is real, and you can use that to your advantage. Players make mistakes when they’re panicked, and that’s when you strike.
Future of Ghostface in Fortnite
As someone who’s been playing Fortnite for years, I’m always thinking about what’s next. While Ghostface is currently part of the Fortnitemares 2025 event, I wouldn’t be surprised if we see similar transformations in future events.
The concept of temporary character transformations with unique abilities is something Epic Games has been experimenting with more and more. I think we’ll see more of this in future seasons, not just during Halloween events.
For now, though, I’m making the most of Ghostface while it’s available. There’s something special about being able to step into the shoes (or boots) of such an iconic horror character, and I don’t want to miss out on the experience.
FAQ
How long does the Ghostface transformation last?
The Ghostface transformation lasts as long as you have the Last Call item equipped. You can switch back to your regular appearance by swapping to other weapons, but you can always switch back to Ghostface by re-equipping the Last Call.
Can I keep the Last Call item if I die?
Unfortunately, no. Like most items in Fortnite, you lose the Last Call when you’re eliminated. You’ll need to find another Stalkbox or eliminate another Ghostface player to get it again.
Do Stalkboxes spawn in every match?
No, Stalkboxes don’t spawn in every match, and even when they do, only a few of the possible locations will have active Stalkboxes. This is why it’s important to know multiple locations and have a backup plan.
Is Ghostface available in all game modes?
Ghostface is primarily available in the standard Battle Royale mode during Fortnitemares. Some limited-time modes might also feature Stalkboxes, but it’s not guaranteed across all game modes.
Can I use Ghostface abilities in competitive matches?
This depends on the specific competitive ruleset for the season. Generally, special event items like Last Call are disabled in competitive play to maintain balance, but you should check the current competitive rules for the most accurate information.
Final Thoughts
Becoming Ghostface in Fortnite Chapter 6, Season 4 has been one of the most enjoyable experiences I’ve had in the game recently. It’s not just about the abilities or the cosmetic transformation – it’s about the entire package of stalking, hunting, and striking fear into your opponents.
I hope this guide has helped you understand not just how to become Ghostface, but how to truly master the abilities and strategies that come with it. Remember, practice makes perfect, and don’t get discouraged if you don’t get it right away.
Now get out there, find those Stalkboxes, and show everyone what it really means to be Ghostface on the island. And hey, if you see me in a match, maybe go easy on me – or don’t, because where’s the fun in that?
Happy hunting, and I’ll see you on the Victory Royale screen!
