How to beat Fletcher Kane in Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 2

Fletcher Kane is one of the two bosses around the map in Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 2 (as well as a battle pass skin). He spawns somewhat randomly around the map and requires a bit of finagling to get him to actually show up, but he’s a pretty straightforward boss fight.

Below we explain where to find Fletcher Kane and how to beat him in Fortnite.

Kane has a chance to spawn at any of the vaults on the island. You can tell which one he’ll be at because it’ll be marked with a wolf head icon, so you can plan right away to drop there if you’re trying to hunt him down.

Notably, you will need thermite to crack whatever vault he’s hiding in. After using thermite on the vault, several of his lackeys will come in to take you down, so be prepared to knock them. After tussling for a bit, Kane will spawn in front of the vault.

You can see a map of all the vaults below.

Fletcher Kane isn’t too hard to take down as he’s just your typical boss. He doesn’t have any specific mechanics — you pretty much just need to spray him down with bullets (aiming for the head for more damage).

After you get rid of his shield, he’ll start glowing red and enter a frenzied state, occasionally howling to use a sonar-like ability to identify nearby players. Don’t fret too much about this and just keep unloading on him. The time he spends howling is a great opportunity to hit him while he’s not really fighting back.

As usual with these types of bosses, it’s not really the boss that you have to worry about — it’s the nearby players who are trying to do the same thing as you. We recommend dropping somewhere nearby, looting up, eliminating players first, and then going for the boss. Have heals and shields ready for the worst, as you don’t want to be caught unaware by another player who was just late to the party.

After beating him, you’ll get Fletcher Kane’s Double Down Pistol and the Unstoppable Medallion.
