Fortnite – Husk Encampments – How they work
Husk Encampments, in English “Husk Encampments”, are about the size of a guardhouse, look like mini-mausoleums, and glow ominously purple. They are always surrounded by sleeping Husk creatures.
When you attack them, the Husk become active and a wave of additional zombies appears and attacks you. So be prepared! Once you have eliminated all the Husks, the Husk Encampment crumbles and is considered destroyed.
