Strategy Guide

Strategy Guide[]

Calculated - Emote - Fortnite This section outlines a strategy.
Feel free to add tips, tricks and general advice about the topic.
  • Since the Carnage Symbiote provides both mobility and an extra attack, it's an ideal item to carry.
  • The Carnage Symbiote's grab attack can be used in conjunction with a high-damage shotgun. Grab your opponent with the Carnage Symbiote, then switch to the shotgun to deal high damage very quickly.
  • You can combine the Carnage Symbiote with other speed-increasing items, such as Spicy Fish, to move incredibly quickly around the map.
    • Alternatively, you can combine the Carnage Symbiote with a Shockwave Grenade and sprinting to quickly launch yourself very high into the air, then deploy your glider at the apex of your jump for maximum distance.

Countering[]

  • When you suspect an opponent will grab you with the Carnage Symbiote, switch to a shotgun. When the opponent grabs you, take aim and land a powerful shot to counter-attack.
  • You could attempt to use their super-speed against your opponent by hitting them with a Chiller Grenade. The frozen feet effect will make it difficult to stop moving and line up accurate shots.

Trivia

Trivia[]

  • The Symbiotes were initially set to be removed on October 18th. The date was changed because of a newly discovered glitch.
    • The glitch allowed players to keep the speed boost and Glider Redeploy without having the item after being rebooted.
  • The Carnage Symbiote functions identically to the Venom Symbiote and thus they cannot be stored together in the player’s inventory.
  • It functions similarly to Venom’s Smash & Grab, however, it has two additional abilities and smaller cooldown time.
  • If you used the Carnage Symbiote on a chicken, you would instantly gain 15 Health. That didn’t work on other animals.
  • When this item is picked up, the Tendrils of Carnage Back Bling will be equipped.
