Fortnitemares Horde Rush plus new zero build – how to defeat The Boss 2022

Horde Rush Fortnitemares

With the Season of Fortnitemares beginning, players are in for a treat as one of the most popular game modes makes its return – Horde Rush. A game of strategy and quick thinking, Horde Rush sees players against hundreds of monsters, having to use their quick wit to outsmart the gruesome demons.

Plus to make things slightly more difficult (or easier depending on your view), Epic games have given players the option to now play in Zero Build too.

Let’s take a look below at how to successfully complete Horde Rush and earn yourself that all-important Battle Pass XP and of course, the Victory Royale.

Horde Rush – What’s the hype?

Horde Rush is a cooperative gameplay LTM, and it is exactly that! It is essential players work as a team for optimum results. Similar to that of Eliminate and Collect in Save the World, players have a limited amount of time to work together and defeat monsters, before moving on to the next stage.

This fast-paced game has something for everyone, with new weapons to use that you may not see in Battle Royale, as they fight for Victory as the difficulty progresses.

Available to play until 15th November 2022, players will go through three rounds, before defeating the Boss to win.

The stages are as follows:

  • Round 1 – Players have 150 seconds to loot the area, and prepare for an attack. Monsters will spawn from Obelisks.
  • Players must then follow the storm to take them to a new location, with monsters to fight along the way.
  • Round 2 – Players have another 60 seconds to loot the area, it is important to grab as much ammo as possible, as the game moves on and more monsters appear, this becomes harder – be prepared! Monsters will spawn from Obelisks, and players must then eliminate the Cube Assasin.
  • As before, players must rotate with the storm circle to a new location, fighting and collecting any dropped loot along the way.
  • Players then have another 60 seconds to loot the area. Monsters spawn from Obelisks, and players must then eliminate a Caretaker, before encountering the Boss.

In build mode, players can use builds to protect themselves. To eliminate the Boss, players can use the building to their advantage. By building up from any structure already in place, but ideally, slightly outside of the circle that is close to the boss spawn location, players can eliminate from the high ground. It is worth noting that the Boss will move itself to be below wherever you are, so keep your floating structure wide with gaps within the floor to enable you to shoot down at the Boss.

With zero builds, however, players need to ensure they can move quickly out of the path of the Boss. Existing structures can be beneficial, although the Boss will destroy these along with any other spawning monsters.

A full team of 4 players, it is essential to coordinate and position yourselves in different locations around the circle to give optimum coverage when firing at the Boss, while giving the team the best chance of success to survive and win.

For anyone who plays Save the World, they will be familiar with this format when fighting the Storm King within the Portal (however we wouldn’t want to fight the Storm King without the option to build).

The Storm King will target players whilst also aiming for the area within the circle that contains the most players. The Boss will follow this method when hunting out its target. Staying far apart from each other is the key to survival.

With a good team, communication, and plenty of ammo, this quick-paced game mode is most certainly a lot of fun! It really is as easy as that!

Fortnite is available now on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, and Android.
