Bosses are stronger NPC opponents that give you powerful buffs in Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 1. In past seasons, bosses were known to spawn in a singular location, but now, their spawns are interchangable and there are a lot of different spawn points.
Rather than heading to their usual POI, you’ll now have to travel around the map, or take down someone who has already defeated the boss and acquired their buff. Each boss has their own unique buff that allows you to transform into them, and they all drop a powerful mythic weapon for you to use. However, your location will also be marked on the map for anyone nearby.
Below, we’ve listed where to find the bosses in Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 1, along with their buffs and what mythic weapon they drop.
Update (Dec. 18): Added information on the Yule Trooper boss and more boss spawn locations.
Boss locations in Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 1
All three bosses (Beach Brutus, Human Bill, and Hush) will spawn at the start of the game, and their spawn points will vary between every match. Additionally, each boss can spawn at any of the locations marked on the map above — meaning no location is specific to one boss.If you’re trying to collect boss tokens to complete the Week 2 quest, we recommend getting into a car and searching the bottom half of the map as there appear to be more spawn points.These are all of the boss spawn locations that we’ve found so far:
- Pump N’ Run Gas Station east of Wonkeeland
- Clawsy Lodge parking lot
- Wonkeeland parking lot
- Red-roofed house southeast of Wonkeeland

Boss token power ups and drops in Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 1
Once you defeat a boss, they’ll drop a token that will transform you into them, but they’ll also make you visible on the map to nearby players. Each token will increase your shield and health total to 125, heal you to full shield and health, give you infinite energy, summon two henchfans, and provide you with a unique ability — which we list in the table below — all on a 90-second cooldown. To counteract all of the benefits, your location will be visible to nearby players at all times.Additionally, they’ll drop a powerful mythic weapon that you can use to destroy your enemies.
In the table below, we’ve listed each bosses’ unique ability and the mythic weapon that they drop.
Boss | Unique ability | Mythic weapon |
|---|---|---|
Beach Brutus | Slowly regenerate your shield | Brutus’ Twin Hammer Shotguns |
Human Bill | Gives you low gravity | Human Bill’s Arc-Lightning Gun |
Hush | Gives you Zero Point Dash | Hush’s Deadeye Assault Rifle |
Yule Trooper | Gives you icy feet | Yuletide Trooper’s Holo Rush SMG |
Where to find Yule Trooper in Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 1
Unfortunately, the Yule Trooper boss works just like the other bosses in Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 1, and you’ll need to find them in one of the boss locations around the map. It’s currently unclear whether they’re more likely to spawn in the new snowy areas of the Winterfest map, but we recommend dropping near Clawsly Lodge and Wonkeeland as there is a cluster of boss spawns in the area.
