Spend those gold bars!
All the gold bars in the world don’t matter once you’re eliminated, so let yourself spend a few here and there. Namely, when you’re buying services from NPCs around the map. Whether it’s a decent weapon, healing items, or even hiring a sidekick, spending those bars will always help you out.Â
Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 1 characters explained
Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 1 has paired down the character list pretty significantly to start. There are 12 NPCs you can talk to, 1 stationary boss, 2 roaming bosses, and another boss when the roaming island appears mid-match.Â
The stationary boss in the red circle on our map is The Night Rose. This is a much bigger boss than the medallion guards we had last year. She’s being controlled by a large demon that strings her up and moves her around. You’ll have to take it out by blasting its glowing eyes because it’s a proper video game boss. Watch out for the shades it summons, and get ready to take Rose down herself when she’s cut free. She drops a Void Oni Mask with 50 charges, a special SMG, and a medallion that gives you a passive reloading ability. She’s well worth the danger.
There are 2 Demon Warrior bosses that will show up randomly across the map, identifiable by their mask icon. They’ll drop a random boon, and potentially a Void Oni Mask or Typhoon Blade. They’re worth tracking down, and they’re not as difficult to knock off as The Night Rose is.
Finally, a Shogun X will appear on the map, and a second one will appear when the floating Oni Island appears during the match. These guys are big and tough to take down, so don’t go in expecting to take them lightly. The roaming one will drop a mythic weapon, and the one on the Island will also drop a mythical Fire Oni Mask and Shogun X Medallion. This medallion is insane, giving you infinite stamina AND invisibility while sprinting.
