The latest Fortnite update has just dropped and that comes with some interesting new theming around mysterious cubes. With a brand new skin and some strange new map changes, there's a lot to pay attention to. The Fortnite Caretaker is perhaps one of the most powerful new enemies you can find. Here's how to beat them and the loot they drop.
What is the Fortnite Caretaker?
The Fortnite Caretaker is a huge new enemy in Fortnite that can drop some nice new loot. He can initially be spotted with a purple glare around him and, as you get close to him, he will suck you into an alternative world. This will allow you a unique arena to fight him with.
He comes in at around four or five times the size of an average player and has a huge health bar. Needless to say, he poses quite a challenge.
How to kill the Caretaker in Fortnite
Luckily, the Caretaker operates much like a standard enemy and can be killed with normal attacks. His arena will have a handful of chests which should give you some bonus firepower for taking him on.
If you can get in there with a teammate and enough weapons, you should be able to take him down with enough communication. There's nothing special you have to do to take him down?
Locations
There doesn't seem to be a specific spawn for the big guy just yet. You can just fly around the map until you see his purple silhouette.
What loot does the Caretaker drop?
The Caretaker drops tonnes of normal loot, making him worth the kill. As well as this, he tends to drop the new Sideways Scythe weapon. This is one of the strongest melee weapons in the game so it's worth getting your hands on. If you want something close range, this is possibly the best thing to do.
