Fortnite Guardian locations and how to defeat them

Fortnite Season 6 has brought plenty of changes to the game, but one of the biggest changes is the addition of new Guardians. 

Fortnite’s Season 6 update is finally live, bringing with it map changes, tameable wolves, craftable weapons, and new Lara Croft and Neymar Jr. crossover skins. There are also the usual bugfixes and adjustments to the game’s loot pool.

While many Fortnite players will be busy exploring the effects of the Primal biome and getting to grips with the new craftable weapon system, there are a few new NPC boss fights that have been spotted on the map. 

There are a total of six Guardians that have been added in the Fortnite Season 6 update, but finding them can be a little tricky. The Guardians inhabit specific locations of the map and drop decent rewards if you manage to take them down. This will make them particularly popular amongst players that want the best weapons and gear.

Fortnite Guardian locations

Both HYPEX and VastBlastt have found the locations of the six Guardians, so make sure you use the map above before you go trekking around the map. The Guardians are pretty easy to spot as they are kitted out with purple body armor, so you shouldn’t have any trouble finding them.

It’s important to note that each Guardian patrols the areas above, meaning they won’t be in the exact same spot each time. However, they never stray too far and will begin shooting as soon as they spot you. 

How to beat Fortnite Guardians

Make sure you come prepared before fighting Fortnite’s Guardians.

While the Guardians may not be able to build any structures, they do have access to some pretty strong abilities. If that wasn’t enough, the weapons they use can melt through even the most well-armored of players. 

This means you’ll need to come prepared before venturing to any of their locations. To avoid any frustrating deaths, it’s often best to ensure you have access to shields and healing items. Additionally, scouting out the area for any enemy players can also help you avoid falling prey to any surprise attacks. 

Fortnite’s Guardians drop pretty powerful weapons when defeated, which can give you a decent edge over your opponents. Be sure to pick up the Mythic Primal Shotgun from Guardian of the Spire as this weapon absolutely shreds in Season 6.
