- You can turn into a boss by defeating one of three bosses on the map and claiming their medallion.
- The three bosses, Hush, Brutus, and Human Bill spawn at random.
- You can also claim mythic weapons from them.
Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 1 has arrived, and the brand new Golden Coast island features 13 stunning POIs that players can surf onto. That’s right surf! Since the Battle Bus is retired for the moment, players will be quite busy finding bus parts on the island and repairing them, while at the same time battling one another to claim the Victory Royale for that sweet umbrella.
While getting the right weapons can only do so much damage and make you survive, Chapter 7 has brought a new feature that makes you the most overpowered player in the lobby by becoming a boss yourself. You can now become a boss during a Fortnite Battle Royale match and gain some special abilities and weapons that can quickly turn the odds in your favor. If you too want to bask in the sweet glory of villainy, here’s how to turn into a boss in Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 1.
Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 1 Boss Locations
To turn into a boss in Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 1, you’ll need to defeat the three bosses currently roaming the island – Hush, Brutus, and Human Bill. They will spawn at random across the 13 POIs on the map, and there’s no fixed spawn point for them.
However, to make things easier for you, we’ve narrowed down their possible spawn locations into a handy map below:
- At Painted Palms
- At Pumping Station Landmark next to Painted Palms
- At Paws Inn Landmark next to Wonkeeland
- At Sunset Falls Landmark south of Wonkeeland
- At Innoloop Labs
- At Humble Hills
- At Ripped Tides
- At Classified Canyon
How to Turn into a Boss in Fortnite
As soon as you spot a boss on the mini map with the skull icon at one of the locations on the Fortnite Chapter 7 island, you’ll need to start attacking them with your weapon and eliminate their two henchmen, and then the boss themselves.
To begin with, we found Hush at Painted Palms, and she was quite easy to defeat from close range since she wields a mythic AR, so it’s best to head up close and damage her with a Shotgun. Next up, Brutus usually spawns at the Pumping Station Landmark and can be defeated from mid-range since he uses a double Shotgun. Finally, Human Bill spawns either at Innoloop Labs or Ripped Tides, as per our experience, and can be defeated from long range since he wields a mythic Arc-Lightning Gun.
Once they are defeated, each of these bosses drops mythic weapons and medallions you can interact with. Head closer to the medallion and hold the interact button to turn yourself into a boss. As soon as you become the boss, you’ll be taller than your teammates and enemies and don the disguise of the boss you defeated. Your location will be marked on the map throughout the match; you won’t be able to pick another medallion, and you won’t be able to drop the medallion to revert the boss effect.
The only time you’ll disable the boss effect is when you’re eliminated, and your medallion is up for grabs by other players. Here are all the boss weapons and the abilities their medallions hold that you’ll equip while interacting with a medallion:
Boss Mythic Weapon Medallion Ability Hush Hush’s Deadeye Assault Rifle Hush’s Kit: Hush’s swiftness grants increased stamina and vitality. Learn from her expertise to quickly dash from one location to the next. Brutus Brutus’ Twin Hammer Shotguns Beach Brutus’ Kit: Brutus’ resilience grants increased stamina and vitality. Tap into his power to gain regenerating shields. Human Bill Human Bill’s Arc-Lightning Gun Human Bill’s Kit: Bill’s chill mood grants increased stamina and vitality. Chill out to lessen gravity’s pull.
Now that you know how to become a boss in Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 1, we wish you luck on claiming that coveted Victory Royale during your Battle Royale matches.
