What are the Marauders in Fortnite?

Marauders are a gang of mean OP henchmen that respawn from the meteors that break down from the Battle Royale sky. A user needs to be safe from them as they are overpowered and it is hard to eliminate Marauders that chase you down in the entire game. You can differentiate between them and the other moderators as they have a Red Exclamation Signal which can be spotted from afar. Many pro players advise users to stay hidden while fighting with them as they are mostly in a group of five henchmen which makes it hard for a single player to survive.
