Defeat Fortnite’s Storm King and Win LTM
New Fortnite Storm King limited-time mode is available to tie in with other Halloween-themed events across the game. Players work together to fight a giant boss and hordes of enemies in a tight arena in this game mode. This is different from the usual game modes. You can also earn kudos for beating the Storm King in Fortnite, as well as complete three Fortnitemare challenges. Find out how this mode works and how to defeat Fortnite Storm King.
Keep an Eye Out for Storm King Beams
Keep an eye out for the storm beam attack during your battle with Fortnite Storm King. It goes straight out of the arena center in a concentrated beam. You’ll be knocked out if it hits you. If he points it at you, you have a few seconds to get out of the way. However, don’t get distracted, or you won’t have time.
Ensure Teammates Are Revived
Although it can be tempting to overlook your teammates and focus on shooting the Fortnite Storm King, it pays, in the long run, to keep as many of your comrades alive as possible to increase your collective firepower and make the horde manageable. Put up a wall around yourself first to keep enemies away while you’re vulnerable. Carry down teammates to a less active area before reviving them.
Speed Up With Boost Pads
You will be flung through the air when you contact the boost pads. These look like small craters with a purple glow emanating from within. Fast travel is useful to distance yourself from the horde or escape the Storm King’s beam attack. You can chain them together to travel long distances quickly. Watch your speed and direction, or you might throw yourself into the storm.
Defeat Fiends to Increase Ammunition
The only way to get more ammo and supplies after the initial chests are depleted is to destroy fiends. As soon as the Fortnite Storm King fires off his area blast, all items left on the ground will be wiped out. If your shield is low, shoot some monsters to boost it. It’s worth attacking the monoliths the fiends spawn from when you get the chance to get better items and weapons.
Spend Less Time Building
Building some structures can keep the horde at bay, especially when you’re healing or reviving a teammate, but don’t invest too much time building them. You and your team will be wiped out if the Fortnite Storm King fires an area blast during the fight that does no damage to players but destroys all structures in the arena. To protect yourself from the fiends, a few walls will suffice, and no structure can block the Storm King’s beams.
Utilize Storm Horn and Weak Point
Fortnite Storm King battles are divided into three phases, where you need to destroy the highlighted areas. After they are completed, you’ll enter the Storm Horn phase, where you have a limited amount of time to damage the Storm Kings’ horn. Try to hit the horn as hard as possible. When the time runs out, you’ll need to go through another three Weak Point stages before attempting the horn again. When the first horn has been destroyed, you can then target any part of the boss for the final Storm King phase.
If you follow this guide and have a decent team, you will be able to defeat the Fortnite Storm King without drama.
