Mini-Bosses are special Monsters in Fortnite: Save the World.

Overview

Mini-Bosses have drastically increased health than normal and elemental Husks and Mist Monsters. They have a tendency to spawn in Mutant Storm missions that have the Epic Mini-Boss modifier.

V-Bucks & X-Ray Ticket rewards can only appear on these Mini-Boss missions.

The Hexsylvania and Flannel Falls Venture Seasons are considered Mini-Boss Seasons, which means most Mission Alerts have the Epic Mini-Boss modifier present, and the rewards from those missions are greatly increased. This also significantly increases the chance of missions awarding V-Bucks and X-Ray Tickets.

Mini-Bosses always appear in Mega Storm (4-player recommended) missions during the main defense stage of the Mission.

Appearance-wise, Mini-Bosses appear to have a glossy look when compared to normal Monsters, with a bright purple glow.

Types

There are 3 types of Mini-Bosses in regular missions:

• Husk: The weakest of the Mini-Bosses, and the easiest to fight.
• Husky: Stronger than the Husk. More health than the Husk Mini-Boss in comparison.
• Smasher: The only Mist Monster to be a Mini-Boss. The hardest of the three as they have the highest health and structure damage.
  • The Smasher is the only Mini-Boss that the Mythic Storm King summons.

3 more types of Mini-Bosses are found in limited time events:

• Blaster (The Grotto only)
• Taker (The Crypts only)
• Chrome Husky (Flannel Falls only)

List of Modifiers

The Modifiers are indicated below the Mini-Boss' infobox on the top-left of the screen.

• For Acid Pools, Ricochet, Slowing Pools, Tank and Wall Weakening, see Storm Zone Modifiers.
• The Mini-Boss can be of the Fire, Nature or Water Element.
• Berserker bosses become enraged and quickened once they reach 50% health.
• Building Blocker bosses leave obstacles behind them as they traverse. These obstacles temporarily stop players from building structures or placing traps.
• Corrosive bosses cause buildings made out of any material to corrode or take damage over time after being hit.
• Damage-Pulse bosses emits waves to damage nearby players and buildings.
• Frenzied bosses are ALWAYS quickened, meaning they always have a movement speed buff.
• Healer bosses emits waves to heal nearby enemies as well as themselves, similar to The Nurse.
• Shield Breaker bosses can break players' shields with a single hit.
• Smoke Screen creates a hazy barrier around the Mini-Boss. Enemies standing inside the smoke take reduced Ranged Weapon damage. Melee Weapons are recommended.
• Trap-Vulnerable Mini-Bosses take 99% less damage from Ranged and Melee Weapon attacks. However, they are 99% more vulnerable to Traps, making them the easiest type of Mini-Boss to defeat.
• The Vampiric modifier is the same as the Life Leech Attacks modifier, where every time a player is hit by the Mini-Boss, they heal themselves for a certain percentage.

Trivia

• A very important thing to know is that Mini-Bosses do not follow the rule of elemental storms (ex. Nature Mini-Boss in an Ice Storm).
• Sometimes, Mini-Bosses tend to possess multiple modifiers that can heavily change the course of the mission and gameplay.
  • For example, they may have modifier combinations like Wall Weakening and Corrosive that can either slightly or drastically devastate an objective and its defenses depending on what type spawns, or Ricochet and Knockback that can dramatically change a player's gameplay.
• Mini-Bosses despawn after a certain amount of time.
• Pushing Mini-Bosses off the world border causes them to get instantly eliminated.
  • This, however, grants no rewards to players, but does grant quest progress.
