Tips and Tricks to Beat Fortnite Demon Rush
Before you jump into Demon Rush for the first time, you must know how the mechanics of the game work. Below, we have explained all the game mechanics, including tips and tricks to achieve more wins against the demons.
Preparation Rounds and Loot
When you land on the map, the first thing you must do is grab some weapons and ammo. You will find loot scattered around the map. Look for the chests early and grab enough ammunition. Moreover, as you keep completing multi-kills, the multiplier bonus shards will drop. Grab them for some extra healing and loot.
If you don’t want to waste time applying bandages or chugging a jug, wait. A quick tip to heal up and replenish armor is to dance at the stage before a round starts. Trust me, this will ready you up for the mayhem ahead. There are a total of four rounds and a final round where The Final Peel appears.
This toxic version of Peely will be the boss that brings you all the toughest nightmares. But before this big boss, you must tackle multiple different sub-bosses, including some that you will have a hard time defeating. You have to do the fighting while staying inside the zone.
Recruit Demon Hunters
Luckily, you will have enough backup even when you are alone. As soon as you get closer to the dance stage, you will find the Rumi, Mira, or Zoey. You can recruit them for free, and they will help you with some firepower. Beware, your NPC ally can die anytime if you are not healing or assisting them in fights.
Upgrade Weapons and Purchase Mythics
To deal with enemies, you will require better weapons. Well, each round, you will find upgrade stations where you can level up weapons for more damage. To upgrade weapons, you will need monster parts.
On top of that, you will find KPop Demon Hunters mythics along the way. You can purchase them either at the vending machine by exchanging shards or opening special chests. To collect shards, slay more demons, and collect the purple fragments.
Demon Rush Boons
Well, Demon Hunters and weapons are not the only helping hands you get. In Fortnite Demon Rush, as you complete a round, you can press 7 to open the augmentation device. This will let you choose your next passive that improves your chances of survival. Press the fire button to activate a skill, scroll to select the next one, and hold E to reroll for a different skill set.
