Are you ready to take on one of the latest Marvel villains to land on the Fortnite Battle Royale island? Say hello to Emma Frost, the fierce psychic mutant who’s been a constant thorn in the side of the X-Men almost as many times as you’ve tallied up Victory Royales. Well, she’s causing chaos in Fortnite, and it’s up to you to end her plans and score some sweet loot while you’re at it! But stay calm because Emma Frost will go down with a fight.
She comes with dangerous abilities and is centrally located to attract several teams in her direction. So, here is what you’ll need to know to beat Emma Frost in Fortnite and come out on top.
Where to Find Emma Frost
Emma Frost has made herself comfortable at The Raft, a new POI introduced in Chapter 5 of Season 4. It’s a super prison with tight security to keep the most notorious Marvel villains in check, and it’s just the perfect base for a bad girl like Emma Frost.
To find Emma, head to The Raft, but be careful. The complex is rife with laser traps at the doors leading to the main cell block. These lasers won’t damage you, but they’ll ensure all the nearby enemies and NPCs know you’re there. Please make your way lightly to the central cell block, where Emma Frost lounges on her throne.
Since she’s permanently stationed at The Raft, loot up and prepare for a showdown as you head in. Here’s how to take her down and claim the loot she drops!
How to Beat Emma Frost: Step-by-Step Strategy
It is not a small feat to take down Emma Frost. But with the proper strategy, you will have her down quickly. What to do:
1. Open Fire Immediately
The instant you see Emma Frost, waste no time-open fire! She’s hostile the instant she lays eyes on you, even if you’re trying to emote and be friends. You want this fight hot right from the get-go, so take advantage of those weapons that shine in close-quarters combat, such as SMGs or shotguns. Her Burst Assault Rifle has a sweet spot in medium to long range, so closing the distance makes you a much harder target.
2. Take out the Doom Guards
When the fight begins, a swarm of Doom Guards will invade the room to reinforce Emma. You will want to eliminate them as soon as possible because they’re messy and get in the way of working on Emma. Be highly mobile and keep a distance from them to avoid as much damage as you can take from them.
3. Watch Out for Her Diamond Form
During the whole fight, Emma Frost will periodically cloak herself in diamonds. This shield form minimizes the damage she takes from your attack; hence, those bullets will be less effective. Don’t worry, though. You can instantly knock her out of that form by chucking Captain America’s Shield at her. Otherwise, if you don’t have the shield, maintain pressure until the effect wears off.
4. Stay Aggressive and Keep Firing
Emma Frost doesn’t have a lot of tricks up her sleeve other than shooting at you, so stay on the offensive. Use high-damage, close-range weapons such as shotguns or SMGs to deal damage quickly. If you’re lucky enough to have the OP War Machine’s Arsenal item, now’s the time to use it!
5. Finish her off and claim the loot
Once you’ve reduced her health to zero and defeated her, she will finally drop some of the best looks in the game, including Flowberry Fizz Reveal Medallion Mythic Striker Burst AR Emma Frost’s Reveal Medallion (more below!)
Emma Frost’s Reveal Medallion
Defeating Emma Frost comes with the opportunity to snatch her Reveal Medallion, and while it isn’t the most powerful piece in Chapter 5, Season 4, it does have some merits to its name. The medallion will randomly scan and ping enemies within an area, highlighting their exact position with a red outline and arrow. That’s great for tracking down enemies trying to hide or ambush you.
Remember that the scanning effect is short-ranged, so you must be near your target for it to work effectively. But still, it’s quite a neat tool for those who want to outsmart their foes when they step into a fight!
Emma Frost’s Striker Burst AR
Once you defeat Emma Frost, you’ll get the Mythic Striker Burst AR-mythic weapon she uses against you in this fight. The assault rifle has good precision and a great fire rate, making it ideal for your average battle range.
However, like most mythic weapons, it possesses fixed stats that can’t be modified. If you’re that burst-fire and medium-range gun guy, this gun will work out for you. In other cases, you may find something better for yourself.
Final Tips to Beat Emma Frost in Fortnite
- Always prepare yourself: Know where you’re taking them, what guns you need, and how to tackle the fight.
- Carry sufficient stock: Before embarking on the journey to The Raft, take plentiful ammunition, adequate healing items, and diverse firearms.
- Group in: If you think the fight is overwhelming you and beating the crap out of you or you are generally not capable, then take this option in which you may travel in a group of friends. Numbers may dumb down the tough fight quite substantially, especially for the Doom Guards.
Summary
That will not be an easy feat; beating Emma Frost in Fortnite leaves you the only one walking away with all the loot, provided you apply a correct strategy. Keep the pressure on her, stay close, and knock her out using the right tools to take her out of her diamond form. Once she is down, enjoy your spoils and enjoy keeping an eye out for those sneaky enemies with your new Reveal Medallion!
