Kickstarter Quests in Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 4 are easy for the most part, but there are two quests this time that involve defeating the Bug Queen by destroying the Hive Stashes around the boss location, both of which can be tough if you’re faced with opponent players other than the Bugs themselves. This guide will help you slay the Bug Queen easily and complete the required Kickstarter Quests. Here’s what you need to do:
Bug Queen Boss Fight Guide in Fortnite
To get the Bug Queen out of its burrow, you must first destroy the Hive Stashes located around the area where the Queen will spawn. Destroying these Hive Stashes will take a chunk out of the “Neutralize the threat” health bar, which will show up once you enter the area where the Queen is hiding.
The best way to easily defeat the Bug Queen is to aim at the yellow/purple part of her body, located just below her chin, which deals critical hit damage. The Queen will fight back by spewing acidic goo at you and summoning larger Bomber bugs, which you need to survive. Keep your distance from the Queen, kill the Bombers and Swarmers that want to overwhelm you, and then shoot at the weak point to slay the Queen.
Again, watch out for opponent players who want to have the rewards of defeating the Bug Queen all for themselves. The Queen will be slamming the ground if you get too close, which is why it’s best to keep your distance. That way, the only thing she can do is spit the acidic goo at you, which is easy to dodge. It’s not a tough boss fight, but it might get messy if other enemy players are involved.
Rewards For Slaying The Queen
Slaying the Bug Queen in Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 4 will drop a Medallion along with a guaranteed Mythic Weapon, depending on the location where you defeat her. Since the Queen spawns at three different locations on the map, the rewards differ from location to location. Here’s a rundown of the rewards you get by defeating the Queen at the three specific locations on the map:
| Location | Mythic Weapon | Medallion | Effect |
| Ranger’s Ruin | Sweeper Shotgun | Carapace Medallion | Regenerates Shield and grantds 50 health with each elimination. |
| The Hive | Enhanced Wrecker Revolver | Surge Medallion | Allows increased movement speed for players with a boost when sliding. |
| Demon’s Debris | O.X.R. Assault Rifle | Springleg Medallion | Allows players to double jump, and negates all fall damage. |
Head to the location that drops the Medallion and the Mythic Weapons you’d like to obtain in a match, destroy the Hive Stashes, slay the Queen and enjoy your rewards in Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 4. Stock up on some ammo, shields and health resources before you visit these locations, as Bugs won’t be the only thing trying to take you down; it includes other players as well.
