Fortnite Highcard Boss: How To Beat

The Highcard Boss was introduced in Fortnite with the arrival of the Chapter 4 Season 2 update, and one of the tasks this week requires you to assist in defeating him. The quest rewards players with a whopping 12,000 XP that can be used to unlock skins and items from this season's battle pass.

However, many players will have a hard time completing this particular challenge, as finding a Highcard boss is very difficult. This is because the boss can be found at a few certain locations on the island. But don't worry, as we have got all the details on the Highcard Boss location in Fortnite and how to beat him.

Where to Find Highcard Boss in Fortnite

In Fortnite, a Highcard Boss spawns across three different POIs on the island - Brutal Bastion, Shattered Slabs, and Mega City. However, it's worth noting that players will only be to encounter him once the first storm circle shrinks.

Fortnite's first Storm Circle will shrink roughly three minutes into the match. After that, players will be alerted to the Highcard Boss's arrival by a sound visualization in the corresponding Point of Interest (POI), where the boss will 'rift' into the location.

Players can also locate the Highcard Boss and their henchmen by keeping an eye on the icon that appears on the map. If the Highcard Boss has already been defeated, the icon will no longer appear on the map.

How You Can Assist in Defeating Highcard Boss in Fortnite

Since the Highcard Boss and its henchmen prefer close-range combat, it would be best for you to take down the henchmen first using long-range weapons, Heavy Sniper Rifle or Cobra DMR. Once they've fallen, you're all set to fight with the Highcard boss. But before that, we recommend you pick up a shotgun that can damage him significantly.

The Highcard Boss boasts 200 Shield and 200 Health, so you must hit around five shotgun bolts to completely eliminate him. However, the goal here is to assist in defeating the Highcard Boss, so you don't have to be the one who deals the last hit.

But we highly recommend taking the boss down to complete the challenge swiftly. Also, defeating the Highcard boss in Fortnite will allow you to obtain the Havoc Suppressed Assault Rifle Mythic weapon, which is dropped on the ground.

After completing the core objective, the weekly quest will be marked as completed, and you'll receive XP for your efforts.
