How to defend an Outpost from bugs in Fortnite Chapter 6, season 4?

The outpost over here doesn’t necessarily mean the Outpost, which is located on the south-east edge of the map. These are different bases that the bugs have captured, and your job is to clear out the hordes.

Once you land, you’ll be assigned the objective:clear out 20 bugs. For this, you don’t necessarily have to kill the bigger bugs. You can easily target the smaller bugs that can be killed with melee attacks. The entire task of eliminating 20 bugs is pretty straightforward, but you’ll have to be careful.

These spots will be active hotspots for players to land. The zones are great for findingOXR weaponsas well, which is part of more quests. Hence, heavy enemy fire should be expected at these locations. To complete the objective, you’ll have to repeat the process twice.

If you die without killing 20 bugs at one go, you will have to do the entire process once again. Your achievement counts only if you have killed 20 or more bugs at once without being eliminated. To increase your chances of success, it’s best to team up with your friends. While some of you should focus on the enemies, others should take care of the bugs. This will help the entire team complete the objective.
