Bigfoot is back in Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 1, and everyone’s trying to track down this hairy legend. The thing is, he doesn’t just stand around in one spot waiting for you. He’s actually pretty tricky to find, so let me break down everything you need to know.
Where to Find Bigfoot in Fortnite
When Bigfoot was first sighted in Fortnite, he truly felt like a real myth. Whenever players got close, he would suddenly disappear.
However, since the February 5 update, Bigfoot has become a full boss character. This means he now rotates between several spawn points across the island, and he can now be shot and defeated for rewards.
Here are the locations you can check to find Bigfoot:
- East of Sus Studios
- Ripped Tides
- Near Wonkeeland
- Classified Canyon
- Latte Landing
- Humble Hills
- The hill east of Humble Hills
- Painted Palms
There’s no pattern to where he’ll spawn, so you might need to check a few spots before you find him.
However, when you get close to any boss in Chapter 7, a skull icon with a crown will appear on your minimap. This serves as your primary hint to Bigfoot’s whereabouts.
What You Get From Bigfoot
This is where the hunt becomes worth it. When you successfully take down Bigfoot, you get some seriously good loot:
- Mythic Bigfoot’s Flex SMG – This is the main prize. It’s a powerful weapon that can give you a huge advantage in fights.
- Boss Medallion – When you activate this special item, you can see enemy footsteps and it occasionally marks where enemy players are. This is incredibly useful for tracking down opponents.
- Extra Loot -Chug Jug (full health and shield), ammo, gold bars, and some random weapons to fill out your inventory.
Beyond the great loot, finding Bigfoot is actually required for The Order’s quests. You need to hit Bigfoot or Human Bill to tag them for Carina’s favor. You’ll also need to ask The Order how to free Carina from her cell, making Bigfoot an important part of the storyline.
Tips for Finding the Bigfoot
Just like finding a myth in real life, you need to have a plan on where to go. Don’t just randomly drop at different locations each match. Instead, plan a route that lets you check multiple spawn points efficiently.
For example, start at Humble Hills, then check the hill east of it, then move toward other nearby locations.
Watch your minimap closely as you travel. The moment that skull and crown icon pops up, head toward it. The icon will help you narrow down exactly where the Bigfoot is once you’re in the area.
Finding Bigfoot takes some patience since his spawn is random, but the Mythic SMG and Medallion make the hunt totally worth it.
