The orders are in, so charge headfirst into the hive! The bugs out there? Vicious, relentless, swarming. The vermin are dug in deep, and drawing out the queen won’t be easy. Neutralize the infestation with the latest and greatest high-tech tools in Fortnite BR Chapter 6 Season 4: Shock ‘N Awesome!

Then we have the alphas: the Queens. Usually burrowed deep, Queens are massive slugs, taller than most buildings. They’ll surface after you’ve rid their nest of bugs, then they’ll summon their grimy kin and try to body slam you something fierce. You might be reminded of that breakdance move… “the worm.” It’s an embarrassing way to go, but most don’t stay uneliminated to talk about it anyway.

Each time you rank up, an O.X.R. Drop Pod packed full of loot will be sent to your location. Each drop pod you earn includes a Super Soldier Boon for good measure (more on these later). At rank A, you’ll also earn access to O.X.R. Bunkers containing Exotic weapons! Hit S+ and you’ll get a drop pod that’s guaranteed to contain a Mythic weapon.

Did someone call an exterminator? Light up the parasites and watch ‘em scatter with all-new Exotics that can be found exclusively in bunkers after hitting O.X.R. Rank A:

• ●Eradicator O.X.R. Rifle: After successfully hitting an enemy, its damage ramps up with subsequent successful hits.

• ●Double Trouble: Two shotguns that can be double-pumped (swapped between with no delay).

• ●Shock n’ Slow Shockwave Launcher: Lobs Shockwave Grenades that cause a slowdown effect mid-air to both enemies and allies.

• ●Marksman Wrecker Revolver: Wrecker Revolver but with a higher hip fire rate and headshot multiplier.

• ●Exotic Slap Berry Fizz: Flowberry Fizz that also grants Slap.
  
  

  Get to the Whirlybird!

  Aerial capabilities are one of the few areas where the O.X.R. has a leg up on the swarm, and the mighty Hammerhead Choppa coming later this Season is proof. The mechanics of this ‘copter allow for briefly hovering mid-air while you switch seats to lay down suppressing fire on the other side. It also gets great gas mileage!

  Boons from the Cocoon

  Leave a trail of antennae and thoraxes in your wake with a new set of Boons! Some of these Boons can be found in O.X.R. Chests and Hive Sacs around the Island, found in Drop Pods, or rewarded for completing mid-match objectives (such as clearing the swarm from a POI):

  • ●Agile Aiming Boon: While aiming down sights, your recoil and spread will be reduced and you’ll maintain more of your movement speed.
  • ●Extended Magazine Boon: Increases clip size for all your weapons.
  • ●Storm Forecast Boon: The next Storm circle is always revealed to you.
  • ●

    Super Soldier Ranked Boons (exclusively from O.X.R. Drop Pods):

    • ●⁠[Super Soldier Boon: Rank B] Reduces Energy consumption when sprinting.
    • ●[Super Soldier Boon: Rank A] Rank B ability + increases reload speed.
    • ●[Super Soldier Boon: Rank S] Rank B and A abilities + reduces weapon recoil and spread.
    • ●[Super Soldier Boon: Rank S+] Rank B, A, and S abilities + increases sprint speed and gives you unlimited Energy.

Entomology Meets Medallions

Clear the swarm from certain POIs and you’ll find yourself face to face with one of the three Queen bugs. Each gives a unique Mythic weapon and Medallion when defeated!

• ●Defeat the Queen at The Hive to receive the Mythic Enhanced Wrecker Revolver and Surge Medallion, which increases movement speed and gives a burst of speed when sliding.

• ●Defeat the Queen at Demon’s Domain to receive the Mythic O.X.R. Assault Rifle and Springleg Medallion, which gives you the ability to double jump, with fall damage immunity.

• ●Defeat the Queen at Ranger’s Ruin to receive the Mythic Sweeper Shotgun and Carapace Medallion which gives 50 Health when you eliminate an opponent, and passively gives 3 Shield per second up to 50 Shield.
