Blaster

Blasters are large Mist Monsters in Fortnite: Save the World. They are the Mist Monster counterpart of the Zapper Husk.
== Behavior ==
Blasters have glowing eyes and a gorilla-like appearence, and fire lasers at players from long range.
After a short charge-up accompanied by an audible charging sound, a Blaster will fire lasers that deal high damage per shot, albeit not being able to damage structures. Their laser barrage can be stopped by staggering them with moderate to high-impact weapons. They can also attack from close range with their fists, but their laser attack comes as a priority.
== Encountered ==
They begin to be encountered in harder levels of Stonewood.
Blasters are found:
* Patrolling or sleeping
* During objective defense
* Spawned from Husk Encampments
* Spawned in Shadow Orbs
* Spawned by the Storm King
* As Bosses in Dungeons
== Abilities ==
*Laser Beam - A Blaster can shoot numerous beam lasers from its mouth at a targeted Hero. The first few shots often miss, but their accuracy increases over the barrage of shots. Laser Beams deal no structure damage.
*Melee Attack - A Blaster can also swipe at players if they get too close, dealing damage. If a building blocks their path, the Blaster will use this abillity to break builds.
== Stats ==
Blasters have a movement speed of 0.50 TPS (Tiles per Second). They also have a Knockback Threshold of 399.

== Strategy ==
*Unlike other Mist Monsters, there is no audible cue to indicate that a Blaster has spawned.
*A Blaster's beam attack is preceded by a short charge up accompanied by an audible charging sound. This sound can serve as a warning to take cover or to start firing at the Blaster to try and stagger it. 
*Blaster beams do not damage structures or any terrain, so the player can safely take cover behind structures while the Blaster is firing.
*High-impact weapons, especially when landing headshots, can disrupt Blasters barrage of beams. If you are unable to take cover before the Blaster begins firing, a second best option would be to attempt to stagger it.
*It would also be recommended to quickly build a wall to block it since finding natural cover and not building may take too long to the point you will get knocked if in high stages like Twine Peaks or take a lot of damage.
== Trivia ==
*Blaster's laser beams deal Energy damage to players. Currently, Energy damage does nothing special than physical damage against players, compared to the other 3 elements.
