Fortnite’s Halloween event, Fortnitemares, always adds tons of content to the game, allowing fans to enjoy themed weapons, spooky skins, and even an exclusive, limited-time game mode. Horde Rush, the Fortnitemares LTM, always returns toFortniteduring this time of the year, and while some gamers have played it before, it can still be difficult to win.
In Horde Rush, fiends will continuously spawn, which can be quite overwhelming, especially once gamers start to run low on ammo or lose their shields. On top of this, there is a giant husk boss that players must eliminate at the end of the match. This article will provide fans with useful tips to ensure that they’re able to successfully finish a Horde Rush match inFortnite.
7Stock Up on Ammo
It’s Imperative to Not Run Out
In Horde Rush, enemies will continue to appear, as the Cube Monster Spawners keep producing fiends until they’re destroyed or left behind in the storm. Since many of the enemies are weak, the best way to handle them is to spray an SMG or an Assault Rifle with a high fire rate. This will get through the weapon’s clip fast, so gamers will have to reload quite often. Therefore, it shouldn’t take long before they run out of bullets.
When fiends are eliminated, they will drop ammo a lot of the time, and in the midst of the chaos, gamers might forget to pick up, but they should always do so whenever possible to ensure that they don’t find themselvesresorting to their melee weapon.
6Keep Heals that Are Quick to Use
Heal on the Go
Things move fast in Horde Rush, and gamers and their squad will be on the move most of the time. This means that if they find themselves low on health, they might have a hard time popping a big shield, as standing still for five seconds might mean they lose a lot more health than the shield can generate.
There are certainhealing items inFortnitethat can be used on the go, namely Med Mist, Chug Splash, and Flowberry Fizz. Med Mist heals back HP and is used to spray the player or their teammates. Chug Splash heals back HP or shields and is thrown on the ground, healing anyone nearby. Flowberry Fizz can be splashed around an area and regenerate players' shield. Alternatively, players can build up to safe space or build around them to use meds that need time to be consumed or applied.
5Always Grab Explosive Items
Safe At Least One Inventory Slot for Explosives
There is an array of explosive throwables and weapons in the Horde Rush LTM. Whether it’s Dynamite, the Grenade Launcher, or the Goo Gun, gamers should always verify they’re carrying some item of this sort.
Explosives are a great way to buy some time or create more of a distance between enemies and the player. They can take down large groups of enemies in a second without wasting dozens of bullets, and if gamers want to keep their multiplier but find that they haven’t reloaded any of their weapons, they can throw an explosive on the floor to quickly get some kills while they reload the weapons in their inventory.
4Destroy Spawners Whenever Possible
Slow Down the Horde and Get Great Loot
Spawners are what cause Cube Monster fiends to keep spawning in Horde Rush. While more Spawners will appear over time, if gamers don’t deal with the ones that were on the map in the first place, they will find themselves overrun by husks in no time.
The best way todestroy Cube Monster Spawners inFortniteHorde Rushis with a pickaxe. This means that gamers need to grab their melee weapon and start hitting the Spawner with it until it reaches 0 HP. During this time, some Cube Monsters will spawn around it and start chasing the player, but they can avoid the fiends by hitting the Spawners as they walk around it. Once a Spawner is destroyed, a high rarity chest will spawn and it’ll have unique and valuable loot inside.
3Equip Weapon Mods
Collect Cube Monster Parts
As gamers eliminate fiends, they’ll drop Cube Monster Parts, which can be used as a crafting material for weapon modifications at a Mod Bench. Even though Horde Rush is set on the Battle Royale map,Mod Bench locationsaren’t the same. In Horde Rush, gamers will find a Mod Bench near every location where the storm stops.
Each weapon mod costs 30 Cube Monster Parts inFortniteHorde Rush, except for the Drum Mag mod, which costs 40 Cube Monster Parts. Since Monster Parts reset once the match ends, gamers should spend as many as they can to improve their loadout.
2Play in a Squad
Use the “Fill” Option
Playing Horde Rush solo is very difficult. Hundreds of Cube Monsters will spawn during a Horde Rush match, and even while playing in a team, it can get overwhelming fast. Therefore, the task is much more difficult if gamers try to play this mode by themselves.
When selecting the game mode that they’d like to play, fans should turn on the “fill” option to ensure that they’re placed in a party with up to three other players. If they have friends interested in playing this game, they can also invite them and attempt to take down the husks together.
1Don’t Forget to Build
Build Defensively and Offensively
There is no Zero Build version of Horde Rush because it’s a crucial part of the LTM. InFortniteHorde Rush, gamers can and should build to protect themselves but also to improve their line of sight - this is particularly important while fighting the Horde Rush Boss.
During the final stage of Horde Rush, the Boss will appear and it has a devastating beam that will damage players quite a lot and send them flying back, oftentimes into the storm, which will drain their health very fast. So, players must not forget to build so they can keep fighting against the husk and the boss simultaneously while avoiding taking damage.
