The Symbiotes Clash in Fortnite has begun, and this is where you may gain Carnage or Venom’s skills.
Carnage and Venom, the Fortnite Symbiotes, have made their presence known in the battle royale, and if you can get your hands on one of these fabled weapons, you can drastically boost your chances of winning. If you’re unfamiliar with the Marvel Universe’s Symbiotes,
Here’s a quick rundown: they’re extraterrestrials who can join with a host to grant them exceptional powers and skills, allowing you to get an advantage over your opponents in Fortnite matches during the Symbiotes Clash.
Both Carnage and Venom may be extracted, but you must first locate them in order to use their abilities. That’s why we’re here to assist you, so let’s go over how to find the Fortnite Symbiotes and how their abilities operate once you have them.
The Fortnite Symbiotes are only in the game until October 18, according to a recent news splash screen in the menu, so if you want to try out the Carnage or Venom skills, make sure you track them down immediately.
Fortnite Symbiotes location of Carnage and Venom Locations
The locations of the Fortnite Symbiotes will appear on the map once the first Storm circle has formed, as indicated by the icons in the image above. Carnage is represented by a red icon, whereas Venom is represented by a black image, and while they can spawn anywhere, they tend to prefer the Boney Burbs and Corny Crops locations.
Once the location has been revealed, get there as soon as possible and engage with the cannister to obtain Carnage or Venom abilities. Each Symbiote only emerges once per match, so if another player takes it first, the only way to gain possession is to remove them.
You can only have one of the Fortnite Carnage or Venom Symbiotes at a time, and if you try to pick up a second one, the first one you have will be instantly dropped.
How to use the Carnage and Venom abilities in Fortnite
Collecting the Fortnite Carnage or Venom Symbiote grants you access to the same set of special abilities, the most notable of which is a massive tendril fist that you can launch in front of you.
If it hits another player, it will cause 60 damage before drawing them close to you – make sure you have a close range weapon nearby to switch to and finish them off, otherwise you’ll be setting yourself up for danger by coming face to face with your opponent.
You can’t blindly spam this attack to do maximum damage to your surroundings because it takes 10 seconds to recharge.
The Fortnite Symbiotes also provide passive benefits simply by existing in your inventory, allowing you to sprint faster and jump further even if you have another weapon equipped.
You’ll still receive damage if you fall too far, but you can use this power to redeploy a Symbiotic Sail at any time while falling to enter a glide and safely return to Earth.
