The master of illusion, Mysterio, joins the Battle Royale island in Fortnite Chapter 5, Season 4: Absolute Doom. This Spider-Man villain steps into Fortnite with notorious stealth and a powerful arsenal. But there’s no need to freak out; we’re here to give you all the tips and tricks to beat Mysterio and come out on top!
Where to Find Mysterio in Fortnite?
Mysterio patrols around Doomstadt, a new POI added in Chapter 5, Season 4. He can usually be spotted hanging around the bronze statue of Doctor Doom in the middle of the POI. He will not go easy on you as he will teleport within the environment and use hallucinations to disorient and irritate the players. So, keep your eyes open!
How to Defeat Mysterio: Step-by-Step Strategy
Danger Ahead:
When you enter the gate where Mysterio roams, be prepared to be attacked immediately. Since Mysterio is hostile from the get-go, do not hesitate to fire off a few shots to test the waters.
The NPC Enemies:
The only problem in fighting Mysterio is that there’s so much of him. Well, first, get rid of his illusions and the NPC guards. The illusions may not be as healthy as Mysterio, but their weapons are as deadly as any other. Clear them out as fast as possible so you do not become overwhelmed.
Close Combat Weaponry:
Mysterio loves being up, close, and personal with his Sovereign Shotgun. One good counter to his strategy would be shotguns and SMGs. These are very effective in the closer combat area near the statue of Doctor Doom. It’s all about mobility while trying to avoid his teleportation tricks to bring in close-range firepower.
Exploit His Weakness:
Mysterio teleports nonstop, which irritates after a while, but remember-it’s also predictable. Take note of his movement patterns and create quick movements to avoid being attacked by him. When you’ve defeated the minions, focus your firepower on the actual Mysterio to take down his health bar in no time.
Best Weapons to Use Against Mysterio
To be able to defeat Mysterio, use weapons that have excellent close-quarters fights:
- Shotguns: Perfect for when Mysterio closes in.
- SMGs: Great for constant fire and mobility.
- Assault Rifles: For medium-range engagements, if you manage to keep some distance.
Rewards for Defeating Mysterio
Once defeated, Mysterio will reward some cool rewards, such as:
- Flowberry Fizz: Consumable item that refuels Health and Shields
- Mysterio’s Stealth Medallion: A unique Item that allows cloaking when crouching
- Mysterio’s Sovereign Shotgun: Fast-firing, hard-hitting shotgun only found within Chapter 5, Season 4.
Mysterio’s Stealth Medallion: How to Make Effective Use of It Mysterio’s Stealth
Medallion is a real game-changer if players enjoy hanging around in stealth mode. It would automatically turn on a cloaking effect while crouching, making you invisible to your enemies. That makes it perfect for either sneak attacks or getting you out of that sticky situation.
Pro Tip: When using the medallion, crouch and move silently behind enemies, building up for surprise attacks. But use judiciously—your clocking ends upon standing or attacking, and it can trigger a radar alert for other players. It’s all in timing!
Mysterio’s Sovereign Shotgun: Worth It?
Mysterio’s Sovereign Shotgun easily becomes one of the coolest additions to the loot pool in Chapter 5, Season 4. The firing rate is fast, and damage output is incredibly high against any enemy you are fighting close with. Sure, it has a limited range, but since the spread of pellets is comprehensive, you don’t need to hit perfectly on an enemy.
Final Tips for Beating Mysterio in Fortnite
- Mobility: Mysterio can teleport around, but it will be tough to pin down. Keep moving, using cover to evade his attacks.
- Cleanse the Minions: Take out his illusions and guards first so you can focus on him.
- Close-Quarters Combat: Use shotguns and SMGs for success in this enclosed combat zone.
