Mist Monsters

Mist Monsters otherwise known as "Storm Monsters" are monsters in Fortnite: Save the World.

There are currently 4 Mist Monsters in the base game:

Takers
Takers are Mist Monsters that rapidly close in on the player, doing large amounts of damage. They are recognizable by their features, which include rapidly dodging shots and hovering in the air. They can also open portals, from which other husks can also walk into.

Blasters
Blasters are the most common Mist Monsters. They are tall, one-eyed monsters that, when given enough time, will shoot 8-10 lasers, each one having more accuracy and damage than the last. If the player is in close range, they will instead swipe at the player.

Smashers
Smashers are Mist Monsters, easily recognizable by their massive size. They will focus more on destroying the base. If a Smasher is ready, it will howl and run rapidly to the base and deal tremendous amount of damage. After wrecking, they will take a small break to catch their breath, only to do the same thing again. If a wall is strong enough to not destroy, the Smasher will instead run into it, rest, and punch it.



Flingers
Flingers are Mist Monsters that are special among the other Mist Monsters. They have one arm bigger than the other. They are the smallest Mist Monsters, along with the Takers. Instead of targeting the player, they will, like a lobber, get close enough to the base to, surprisingly, summon a husk to throw at the base, and, upon landing, the husk will deal damage upon landing at the base, receive minor damage, and continue to claw at the base.



Tips/Tricks

 * If you are playing as a Ninja or Outlander, using Phase Shift or Mantis Leap will help you get out of the Taker's, Blaster's, and Smasher's way.
 * If you play as a Constructor, when a Smasher starts running, you can use Bull Rush to run and smash against them to cancel the run. This also works for an Outlander's TEDDY ability.
 * When a Blaster starts firing, you can build a wall (any material) and the Blaster's lasers will both not damage the wall nor pass through it.

Trivia

 * The Blaster is the only mist monster in the game to have an appearance change. Back then, it was just a big blue husk and had more teeth on its lower jaw and emitted different noises.
 * Back then, Flingers were very weak against melee weapons, now, it has moderate defense against all weapon types.
