How to destroy Swarmer Nests to thin out the swarm in Fortnite Chapter 6, season 4

There are bugs just about everywhere you venture around the island in Fortnite. To help stop the invasion, you need to tackle important missions, such as destroying Swarmer Nests to thin out the swarm.

You might not be familiar with what Swarmer Nests are, making this key story quest a bit tricky to get done. It's an essential one to tackle if you want to progress through the main storyline, so here's how to destroy Swarmer Nests to thin out the swarm in Fortnite.

Swamer Nests are primarily tall, grey nests covered in glowing, purple oozing spots in Fortnite. They're sometimes a bit flatter, though, and look like small rocks sitting on the ground. Regardless of what shape they take, they're always easy to distinguish if you focus on searching for the glowing purple spots. Swamer Nests consistently spawn smaller, hostile bug enemies for you to defeat until you destroy them.

Where to find Swarmer Nests in Fortnite

You may find Swarmer Nests around any bug-infested location around the island, but they're most common at the three main bug POIs, where you can slay the Queen, which are The Hive, Ranger's Ruin, and Demon's Domain. If you don't want to venture to these popular spots, search for smaller Landmark spots that have bugs wandering around instead.
