The jungle is undoubtedly a dangerous place, and it's no different in Fortnite. When Chapter 4 Season 3 started, several named locations on the map were removed and replaced by an extensive jungle biome. Within the humid, green scenario, there are all sorts of hazardous plants and wildlife.
This guide will talk about the Wildwasps that can be seen wandering around the Chapter 4 Season 3 Fortnite map. Players will be able to learn everything there is to know about these creatures, including where they'll be more likely to find them and how they can be weaponized.
How to Find Wildwasps
Wildwasps can be found in the jungle biome, near the named locations, landmarks, and surroundings as well. They can often be spotted flying around the wild areas of the map, but they are also highly attracted to the new jungle plants in Fortnite.
When Wildwasp swarms are gathered around the jungle flora, they won't exhibit aggressive behavior and can be approached safely. As long as the wasps are emitting a blue light, gamers can get closer to them. Players can then press the "gather" option to put them inside a jar to create the Wildwasp Jar item.
Players can enable the Visualize Sound Effects option in Settings and this way a marker will appear when Wildwasps are nearby.
Wildwasp Attacks
Players will oftentimes see Wildwasps running through the jungle, and if there's a red glow within the swarm, that means they are hostile and will attack. Throwing a Wildwasp Jar will immediately anger them and cause them to attack anyone near them. The Wildguard Relik boss throws Wildwasp Jars to damage the player.
A Wildwasp attack might not seem too threatening at first, but if players don't escape quickly, they can lose quite a bit of health. Wildwasps deal eight damage per tick, so gamers might see their health decrease quite rapidly unless they're able to flee.
Players can use wasps to their advantage, especially if they activate the Chapter 4 Season 3 Reality Augment: Wildwasp Weaponry. With this Augment, gamers will receive Wildwasp Jars right away and some additional Wildwasp Jars whenever they eliminate an enemy.
How to Get Away From a Wildwasp Swarm
Thankfully, players that find themselves under attack can escape these creatures. Wildwasps will lose track of the player if they enter the water or cover themselves in mud. In the jungle, it won't be too difficult to find a water source or mud puddles.
Fortnite is available for Mobile, PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
