Calculated - Emote - Fortnite This section outlines a strategy.
Feel free to add tips, tricks and general advice about the topic.
  • When using Med-Mist Smoke Grenades, keep an eye on your teammate's health, to make sure if they urgently need healing. You can tell when they are in a critical condition by looking at the white bar under their outfit icons in the top-left corner of your screen.
  • Make sure to throw Med-Mist Smoke Grenades in places far away from enemies, as they will also start to heal when they enter your smoke cloud.

Counters[]

  • Damaging Flex Gadgets like Frag Grenades and Fire Grenades can be very effective against a Med-Mist Smoke Grenade, as they will either severely damage the players inside, forcing them to use another Med-Mist Smoke Grenade to heal up, or outright eliminate them.
