Strategy Guide

Strategy Guide[]

Calculated - Emote - Fortnite This section outlines a strategy.
Feel free to add tips, tricks and general advice about the topic.
  • Do not use the Fiend Hunter Crossbow to attack builds. For balance reasons, the Fiend Hunter Crossbow does 1 damage to structures, and so is incredibly weak at taking them down.
  • The Fiend Hunter Crossbow is useful for attacking enemy AI such as Cube or Ice Monsters. This is because both AI move slowly and in a set path, and the player does not need to worry about wasting ammo on them due to its infinite Crossbow Bolts - Ammo - Fortnite Crossbow Bolts ammo reserve.

Counters[]

  • The Fiend Hunter Crossbow is generally unsuited for close range engagements, so keeping within said range when engaged with an opponent wielding the Fiend Hunter Crossbow can be beneficial.
