Sploder

Sploder Husks are a type of Monster in Fortnite: Save the World. They wear a red shirt and carry a Propane Tank on their shoulder.
They are first introduced during Stonewood Storm Shield Defense 3. Other than objective defense, Sploders are found spawning from Husk Encampments or sleeping.
== Behavior ==
When near players or buildings, Sploders will throw their Propane Tank to deal significant damage to all players, structures, and other husks near it. The structure damage from the Propane Tank is nearly similar to Smasher attacks.
Eliminating a Sploder before it has a chance to throw its Propane Tank will result in the tank disappearing. The Propane Tank can also be shot while the a Sploder is carrying it. Doing so will cause it to explode before it reaches the objective.
When Propane Tanks are thrown, they linger on the ground for a very short moment before detonating. During this delay they can be hit away using a Pickaxe or Melee Weapon.

=== Propane Tanks ===
The Sound Wall Trap, Hardware Weapons' special attack and weapons from the Boombox Weapons Set cause Sploders to drop their Propane Tanks on the ground.
The following weapons/attacks will not damage/detonate Propane Tanks:
*Ear Splitter - Sonic Pulse
*Mic Drop - Feedback Pulse
*Plasmatron 9000
*Pulsar 9000
*Woofer
*Deciblaster
*Some Abilities detonate Propane Tanks, so be cautious when activating them near fallen tanks.
== Types ==
*Sploder.
*Birthday Cake Sploder: A variant of Sploders that appear during the Fortnite Birthday! Celebration Event. They carry giant Birthday Cakes instead of Propane Tanks, but are not different statistically.
*Santa Sploder: A variant of Sploders that appear across the game during the Frozen Fjords Venture Season. They wear red shirt and pants, have a fake beard and carry Christmas Presents instead of Propane Tanks, but are not different statistically.

== Strategy Guide ==
*If a Sploder or a fallen Propane Tank is near other husks, shooting the Propane Tank to detonate it can be a quick way to clear a large crowd of Monsters.
* Be extremely careful not to shoot Propane Tanks near built fortifications, as they will do extreme damage to structures— enough to outright destroy low-tier building pieces.
