There are a ton of new changes to Fortnite in Chapter 2, Season 6, including the addition of new Guardians. Here’s where you can find and take down these NPCs.

Fortnite Chapter 2, Season 6 is live, and there is a ton of content to unpack in the 16.00 update. You can explore the various map changes in Fortnite Island, and progress through the Battle Pass to unlock some cool new items.

There also some additional NPC boss fights on the map, as six Guardians have been added in the update, and defeating them will get you some neat new gear. While they can be hard to track down, we’re here to make things a bit easier.

Each of the Guardians patrol specific locations on the Fortnite map, and have full shields, along with some unique powers. This makes them particularly tricky to defeat in combat.

One example is the Guardian of the Fields, who is able to dash to dodge bullets and melee attacks during combat. We’ve listed their locations on the map below.

  1. Guardian of the Sea 
  2. Guardian of the Fields 
  3. Guardian of the Mountain 
  4. Guardian of the Lake 
  5. Guardian of the Woods 
  6. Guardian of the Bay

Aside from their special powers, the Guardians also make use of weapons that are capable of doing some serious damage to your shields. For that reason, we strongly recommend that you stock up on some high-tier gear before battling them.

Make sure that you bring along some shields and healing items in case you end up taking too much damage. Also make sure to keep an eye out for any enemy players within the vicinity, as you don’t want to get attacked from all sides.

You can get some very helpful drops from the Guardians that you take down, such as the Mythic Primal Shotgun from Guardian of the Spire, so be sure to visit them all!
