Captain LagbeardFletcher Kane Has Arrived in Fortnite—And He’s Hiding in Vaults Like a True Villain!
If you thought Fortnite was going to let you cruise through Chapter 6 Season 2 without a challenge, think again.
Epic Games has blessed us with another boss fight, and this time it’s Fletcher Kane, a villain so committed to his role that he’s locked himself inside a vault.
Talk about dramatic! If you’re looking to track him down and show him who’s boss (spoiler: it’s you), we’ve got you covered with this step-by-step guide on where to find him and how to send him packing.
Where to Find Fletcher Kane (Without Losing Your Sanity)
Unlike some Fortnite bosses that have a set spawn location, Fletcher Kane prefers to keep players on their toes.
He can appear at any of the vaults scattered across the map. But don’t worry—you won’t have to play a guessing game.
A wolf head icon will mark his chosen location, so the moment you load into the game, you can plan your attack accordingly.
Step One: Crack the Vault (Thermite Required!)
So, you’ve found his hideout. Great! Now you need to crack it open. This isn’t a simple “knock on the door and Kane comes out for a friendly fight” situation.
You’ll need thermite to bust open the vault, and once you do, brace yourself—Kane’s minions will come swarming in like they just smelled fresh loot.
Deal with them first, because the last thing you need is distractions when you’re about to face off with Kane himself.
Once you’ve handled his over-enthusiastic security team, boom, Fletcher Kane will make his grand entrance, likely annoyed that you interrupted his vault nap.
How to Defeat Fletcher Kane (Without Looking Like a Noob)
Alright, now it’s time for the main event: Kane vs. You. The good news? He’s not the toughest boss in Fortnite history.
The bad news? He’s still packing a punch. Here’s how to handle him like a pro:
- Spray and Pray: Kane doesn’t have any fancy mechanics—just a lot of health. Unload bullets into him, and make sure you’re aiming for the head to maximize damage.
- Beware of the Rage Mode: Once you break his shield, Kane will enter a frenzied state, which basically means he turns into an angrier version of himself. He’ll glow red (because why not add some drama?) and howl like a wolf to detect nearby players. Don’t panic! This is actually your chance to strike—while he’s howling, he’s wide open for attacks.
- Watch Your Back: The real danger isn’t Kane—it’s the other players who are also trying to take him down. Nobody likes third-partyers, but everyone becomes one when a boss is involved. To avoid getting sniped mid-fight, eliminate any nearby players before engaging Kane.
- Heal Up and Gear Up: Bring plenty of shields and medkits because nothing is worse than almost defeating a boss, only to get third-partied at the last second.
What’s the Reward?
Once you put Fletcher Kane in his place, you’ll be rewarded with:
- Fletcher Kane’s Double Down Pistol – A high-powered weapon that makes your enemies wish they had stayed in creative mode.
- The Unstoppable Medallion – Because if you just took down a vault-dwelling crime boss, you deserve some bragging rights.
Final Tips: Don’t Get Kane’d!
- If you’re dropping in specifically to fight Kane, land near the vault, not directly on it, to grab weapons first.
- Keep an eye on the mini-map for sneaky opponents who might swoop in for the kill while you’re mid-battle.
- Most importantly—have fun! (Or at least try to while dodging bullets and fighting for your life.)
So, what are you waiting for? Get out there, crack that vault, and show Fletcher Kane who’s really in charge of Fortnite!
