Yo Fortnite fam! 🎮 Still grinding those quests in 2026? You know the drill—Epic Games keeps dropping fresh challenges, and this week’s Mortal Kombat collab mission has everyone buzzing. One task in particular has players scratching their heads: "Heal yourself and an opponent simultaneously with a Med Mist Grenade." Sounds wild, right? Why would you heal someone trying to blast you into next week? But hey, it’s all about that sweet XP and Battle Pass progression. Don’t stress though, ’cause this guide breaks down every step to nail this quest without getting eliminated in the process. Let’s dive in! 💥
First things first: you gotta get your hands on a Med Mist Grenade. This Rare-tier healing item isn’t just lying around everywhere, but there are a few reliable ways to snag one. You can find it as floor loot or in chests—though let’s be real, relying on RNG feels like waiting for a llama to drop from the sky 🦙. If luck isn’t on your side, head straight to a Black Market. In 2026, Crime City and Magic Mosses still stock these grenades for a steal at 125 gold. Pro tip: Loot early in the match to secure one before the storm closes in!
Now, here’s the tricky part: the quest requires both you and an opponent to be damaged (HP below 100, not shields). If you’re fresh off the Battle Bus, you’ll need to take a little... intentional fall damage. 😅 Jump from a high structure—nothing too crazy, just enough to dip your health. Then, find a hostile NPC (yes, the quest says "opponent," not "enemy player," so NPCs count!). These grunts are perfect targets since they won’t instantly vaporize you.
Quick Steps to Complete the Quest:
-
✅ Get a Med Mist Grenade (loot or buy it).
-
✅ Lower your health (e.g., fall damage).
-
✅ Locate a hostile NPC (Bank Vault or Forecast Tower grunts).
-
✅ Damage the NPC slightly—use a pickaxe or a single shot to reduce their HP.
-
✅ Toss the grenade near both of you to trigger simultaneous healing!
Where to find those NPCs? Hostile grunts are scattered across the island, mainly guarding Bank Vaults and Forecast Towers. For Bank Vaults, drop into Lonewolf Lair, Crime City, Masked Meadows, or Seaport City early in the match—they spawn right away. If you’re late to the party and all vaults are robbed, check Forecast Towers after the second storm circle forms. Only two towers appear per game, so peek your map for markers near these spots:
-
East of Shiny Shafts
-
Northwest of Canyon Crossing
-
North of Masked Meadows
-
Northwest of Shining Span
-
Northeast of Brutal Boxcars
Why use NPCs instead of real players? Simple: they’re predictable and won’t blast you mid-heal. Imagine trying to heal a sweaty opponent in ranked—good luck with that! 😂 NPCs let you control the situation. Just weaken them gently (no overkill!), then chuck the Med Mist. The grenade’s AoE will patch up both of you, and boom—quest complete! 🎉
A few 2026 updates to keep in mind: Med Mist Grenades still function the same, but loot pools might shift slightly each season. Always check patch notes! Also, if you’re struggling with gold for Black Markets, complete bounties or smash cash registers early game. And remember, this quest is part of the ongoing Mortal Kombat collab, so finish it fast to unlock those exclusive skins and emotes before they’re vaulted.
Common Pitfalls to Avoid:
-
Don’t heal at full HP—the grenade won’t trigger!
-
Avoid using shields; only lost HP counts.
-
Don’t eliminate the NPC before healing (obviously).
-
Watch for third-parties when near grunt locations.
In summary, this quest is all about strategy, not combat. Grab your Med Mist, take a tactical leap, find a grunt, and execute the heal. It’s a weird flex, but hey, Fortnite’s all about creativity. Plus, you’ll rack up XP and maybe even impress your squad with your "peaceful" skills. 🤝 Got other collab quests? Drop a comment below—let’s help each other level up! Stay legendary, gamers. ✌️
