Fortnite Buggy boss: where he is and what he drops

Buggy is the Fortnite boss of the week since v43.10. Where Buggy's Beachhead is, what he drops when you beat him and how to win the boss fight fast.

Buggy from One Piece as a Fortnite boss holding a lit cannonball

Buggy the Clown from One Piece is this week’s boss in Fortnite. He arrived with the v43.10 update on November 12 at a new spot on the map, Buggy’s Beachhead. Beat him and you get two items: the Special Buggy Ball and the Lever Action Shotgun.

The same update makes boss weapons a guaranteed drop. You no longer win the fight and walk away empty-handed.

Where to find Buggy in Fortnite

Buggy spawns at Buggy’s Beachhead, the new beach location added in v43.10 on the Treasure Hunters island. Open the map before you jump off the Battle Bus and mark it so you land right on top of him.

It is this week’s Captain’s Day: every week of the One Piece season brings a different captain. Last week’s was Lil Uzi Vert, and his Lil’ SMG returns to the loot pool during Saturday’s Treasure Hours.

What Buggy drops

  • Special Buggy Ball: the boss’s own item.
  • Lever Action Shotgun: back in Fortnite with this boss.

How to beat Buggy

  • Land early: half the lobby is heading there. Drop straight on Buggy’s Beachhead.
  • Shield up first: open a chest near the beach. Since v43.10 some of the season’s Exotic weapons can show up in chests.
  • Watch for third parties: the real danger is the squad waiting for you to get low before stealing the loot.
  • On mobile: v43.10 brought back the Pick Up button while reviving a teammate, so you can revive and grab the drop at once.

What else is on this weekend

  • Saturday, November 14 – Treasure Hours: Cursed: boosted Cursed Sprites. First round at 11 AM PT / 2 PM ET, second at 6 PM PT / 9 PM ET.
  • Sunday, November 15: Hatsune Miku and Kasane Teto arrive at Friendship Villa as friendly Captains, with the Leekcapper and Flapjack Rifle joining the loot pool.
  • This weekend: the third Treasure Map Fragment appears.
