Alright folks, grabbed my controller fired up Fortnite tonight specifically hunted down that current season boss everyone been complaining about. Got my butt handed to me first three tries straight up embarrassing. Pure trash. But hey practice makes… well let’s just say I finally nailed it figured some stuff out the hard way. Here’s exactly what went down.
The Initial Pain Fest
Jumped into a match geared up decently thought I was hot stuff. Found the boss arena easy enough charged right in like an idiot just started blasting. Boom two seconds later wiped by minions swarming me while boss slammed the ground some weird laser nonsense. Okay maybe not charge in guns blazing.
Second try hid behind cover picked off minions slowly took my time. Boss vanished then teleported right behind me melted my shields before I could turn around. Annoying as heck. Third try remembered watching a clip about weapon types supposedly mattered grabbed a rapid fire AR sprayed him down shield broke fast felt good… then he went berserk summoned double the minions and a storm closed in couldn’t even heal chaos total team wipe again. Wasted like an hour already frustrating.
Switching Gears & Actually Paying Attention
Sat back paused actually thought this time why keep failing same way? Reset my approach:
- Scouted First: Next match perched outside arena watched patrol routes identified where minions spawned weakest spots. Boss had clear tells before big attacks.
- Ditched My Usual Loadout: Realized my fancy sniper useless here swapped it for dual pistols fast swap speed.
- Target Priority HARD: Focused purely boss minions only when absolutely swarmed shield break first phase key.
- Movement NOT Cover: Cover got destroyed fast or boss teleported behind it. Started constant strafing jumping even built single ramp walls for quick peeks dodges timing his ground slams perfectly.
- Saving The Big Gun: Found a legendary shotgun held it back specifically for his enraged phase when he turns red glowing.
The Turning Point & Execution
Found fresh match geared up perfect: green AR dual pistols blue shotgun medkits shield pots.
- Took high ground outside arena spotted him.
- AR ripped through minions quickly cleared path kept distance peppered boss headshots broke shield relatively quick.
- He vanished knew teleport coming ran opposite direction instantly built ramp looked down spotted him glowing ready slam dodged sideways pumped shotgun twice big damage.
- Minions respawned ignored them mostly boss now enraged glowing red spammed missiles ducked behind my flimsy walls for half second then popped out strafed like crazy unloading pistol shots.
- Health critical saw him winding up huge beam attack sprinted diagonal behind rubble pumped last shotgun shells into his face while he fired missed me completely BOOM he staggered died finally.
Heart racing loot everywhere pure relief best feeling. Took practice brutal losses but totally manageable once you adapt.
My Top 5 Tips From Getting Smashed
- Don’t Rush Blind: Watch his patterns minion spawns for 30 seconds seriously.
- Fast Swap Weapons > Sniper: Close-medium range shotguns pistols melt shields break staggers faster.
- Boss FIRST Minions SECOND: Minions respawn endlessly ignore unless overwhelming focus boss always.
- Keep Moving Build Dodge: Stand still die building simple cover buys breathing room predict big attacks.
- Save Heavy Damage Tool: Hold powerful weapon specifically enraged phase unleash point blank.
Hope this saves you some headaches worked for me!
