Fortnite is going all-out with the finale to Chapter 7, introducing a regular slew of new content and bosses to take down, the latest of which is Buggy.

Fixed locations for bosses return in the Treasure Hunters season, making them easier to track down, but given everyone will know where Buggy is lurking, the chances of encountering other players are raised.

If you’re on the hunt for Buggy, want to know what drops are available for defeating him, or need some tips for the fight, we’ve got you covered.

Just like the other bosses this season, the Buggy Boss has a fixed POI spawn and, while they will move around that area, they’re not roaming across the map, as has been the case for a large amount of Chapter 7.

Buggy can be found at Buggy’s Beachhead, located in the north of the island between Rubber Resort and Lil’ Uzi’s Stronghold. If the area seems familiar, that’s because it was previously the spot where Loot Lagoon was found.

You can drop directly onto the location from the Battle Bus, but given the boss is likely to be a target for plenty of players, and the Lil’ Uzi Vert Boss is also nearby, expect a firefight.

How to Beat Buggy Boss in Fortnite

The greatest threat when pushing to eliminate Buggy in Fortnite is likely to be other players with the same idea, although the boss itself can still cause a significant amount of damage, and not preparing for the battle can be costly.

Buggy is deadly from close-range, so keep a distance, and make sure to keep moving, as it makes you harder to hit, and keep an eye out for reload windows to exploit and deal as much damage as possible.

As ever, it’s easiest to take down the boss in a squad, as he can only target one player at a time, so use this to your advantage.

All Buggy Fortnite Drops & Rewards

Like the other bosses in Fortnite this season, the Buggy boss offers three guaranteed drops, providing two weapons and a Sprite.

Eliminating Buggy in Fortnite drops the Special Buggy Ball, a variant of the cannonball that deals 150 damage and has two times the explosion radius of the normal version, along with a Legendary Lever Action Shotgun, which has been unvaulted.

Disposing of Buggy also drops the Transponder Snail Sprite, granting extra resources on pickup, and the One Piece-themed Sprite follows the trend of the bosses having collab Sprites available, with more to come in future updates.
