FORTNITE Thanos is here! What you need to know!

in #fortnite6 years ago (edited)

The new mash up by Fortnite and Marvel is here!
Early in the game a meteor will crash down and the gaunlet will spawn where it lands. Get to the gauntlet first and transform yourself into Thanos! This is a solo mode with the storm encroaching faster than usual, that will last for about 15 minutes. The Storm is also stronger than usual, dealing 5% damage in the first circle and then 10% in the subsequent circles.

Things to know!
Health - Thanos will spawn with 700HP and 300 Shield. His shield can only be replenished when he kills a player. His HP won't regenerate so make sure to keep your shield high by killing as many players as possible!
Abilities
Charged Jump and Ground Pound, executing this jump will render Thanos stationary while he charges up. He will then launch high into the air, where he can pinpoint his enemies and then perform a ground pound, which deals catastrophic damage to structures and players alike! If you see him jump up in the air make sure you keep moving and make it hard for him to make you a target.
Melee Punch, Thanos displays his ferocious might with this Punch! It destroys structures and as if he is swatting a Fly! It will also deal 70 Damage to players!
Gauntlet Lazer, Thanos harnesses the power of the Gauntlet and blasts a purple beam of destruction at his enemies. This weapon is the only ranged weapon he has at his disposal but Thanos will be immobilized for the duration of its use. If he uses this weapon against you make sure to build cover to absorb the blast!

How to kill Thanos
You can find Thanos on your compass on your HUD you will always know the direction of where he or the Gauntlet are on the map. You will also see his health bar on your HUD so you will know when the best time to attack is. If there are other players fighting with Thanos, let them do most of the damage to his shields and HP and push in when you know you can kill Thanos and grab his Gauntlet. The best time to take a shot at Thanos is by taking advantage of his stationary moves.

This mode is reminiscent of the Juggernaut mode in the Halo Reach Let me know if you remember this mode from the Halo franchise!
