- — In-Game Description
The Swarmstrike is an Explosive Weapon in Fortnite: Battle Royale that was added in the Chapter 6: Season 4.
Functionality
Functionality[]
The Swarmstrike fires 7 individual rockets at once, dealing a huge amount of damage to both players and structures that get hit by the blast radius. However each individual rocket has a low damage, but has a 2x damage multiplier against structures, and 3x multiplier against Vehicles and 3.56x multiplier against The Swarm.
While aiming down sights, the Swarmstrike will activate its laser guiding system, making all fired rockets travel to the current position of the player's crosshair. While decently fast, those rockets cannot make very sharp turns.
The Swarmstrike is a projectile weapon, but fires a spread of 7 rockets when both aiming down sights and hipfiring. Aiming down sights tightens the spread of rockets.

Strategy
Strategy[]
|
This section outlines a strategy. |
| Feel free to add tips, tricks and general advice about the topic. |
- Due to firing multiple projectiles, the Swarmstrike can quickly shred through structures and damage the player behind cover before they can place another structure. This works especially well against low health opponents, pretty much confirming an elimination.
- The Swarmstrike is a very effective weapon against vehicles, thanks to its high vehicle damage multiplier and laser guided rockets.
- While leaping into the fray, combined with the effect of FlowBerry Fizz and Shockwave Launcher, the Swarmstrike can surprise your enemies from above for an accurate one-shot kill.
Counters:[]
- Stay on the move as much as possible when dealing with an opponent wielding the Swarmstrike.
