How to defeat every boss in Fortnite Chapter 6, Season 2

The main goal of fighting eachFortniteboss is to protect yourself against their onslaught of attacks while either avoiding other players or using them to weaken the boss before sweeping in for the final blow. You can do this in many ways, but it depends on how many people are around, including NPCs. Generally speaking, you’ll want strong weapons and full shields before entering the fight.

How you tackle Shogun X compared to Fletcher Kane will also vastly differ. While one is a one-on-one that is dependent on long-range damage and dodging, the other tests how well you can hold your own against multiple enemies.

Shogun X

Shogun X is a boss you can encounter late in yourFortnitematches. He appears on Loot Island after the round’s fourth storm passes. Loot Island spawns randomly during each map, only accessible using launch pads or Wind Sprites that constantly release air columns. Jumping into these propels you into the air, letting you access the island and face Shogun X.

Shogun X has no minions on the island that will distract or damage you. Instead, it’s a one-on-one battle against him on the island, with him having multiple attacks that can quickly catch you off guard. His three main attacks are a large slash with his katana, summoning three fire oni skulls toward your character, and a delayed fire-summoning attack that creates explosions on the ground. They’re easy to dodge, but running out of stamina can be a death sentence here.

How you handle Shogun X will depend on your playstyle, but ranged is generally a better option. Shogun X constantly teleports to different areas around Loot Island to initiate his attacks, making it very difficult to chase him using melee options. Instead, gunning him down from a safe spot is the way to go, as all you need to do is aim where he teleports and dodge his attacks.

Once you defeat Shogun X, you’ll receive a Mythic-grade Enhanced Holo Twister Assault Rifle, a Chug Jug, and theSuper Shield Medallion. The Super Shield Medallion spawns a shield bubble around you when you use healing items, making it a handy defensive tool.

Fletcher Kane

Next on the list is Fletcher Kane, a crime boss who patrols his bank vaults and armored vehicles. Unlike Shogun X, Fletcher Kane has several potential spawn locations around the map, which appear as a wolf icon next to a bank vault, train, or car icon.

Fletcher Kane is an aggressive boss, charging at you with claw attacks and gunning you down from a distance. However, he has far less health than Shogun X, making him much easier to defeat as long as his guards and other players don’t overrun the area.

Defeating Fletcher Kane will reward you with his Baron’s Double Down Pistol and Unstoppable Medallion, giving you increased sprint speed and a knockback perk when you run into enemies. The extra movement speed is nice, and the gun is particularly helpful during weekly or piston-specific event quests.
