Fortnite seems to love adding in special boss characters that require a tad bit of skill to defeat. The game's new season is no exception to this, as the Highcard boss gives competitors a challenge when attempting to defeat him.

Here is a guide on how you can defeat Highcard and gain access to rare loot and more.

Highcard: How to defeat him and where he spawns

To defeat Highcard, you first have to locate him. The boss appears in three different locations throughout the map. He spawns with his henchman at Mega City, Shattered Slabs and Brutal Bastion.

The new boss may not be the hardest challenge Fortnite players have had, but he certainly is not a breeze to fight. Make sure to come prepared with full shield, plenty of heals and the best weapons you can find.

The characters do not attack when they see you. The only get aggressive if shot at first, meaning you could choose to not bother them at all.
