The Fortnite Winterfest 2025 celebrations have begun, and there’s a new boss in town in the form of the Yule Trooper.
The latest boss has been added as part of the Winterfest 2025 quests, and eliminating him will allow you to transform into Yule Tropper yourself. Moreover, you can also get a new Legendary item by taking down the boss.
This guide will provide you with all the necessary information required to take down the new boss.
How to find the Yule Trooper in Fortnite
The Yule Trooper doesn’t have a fixed location. Epic Games Store has been following this pattern since the Simpsons season, and it’s also applicable for the three other bosses in Chapter Seven, Season One. I have completed three rounds and managed to locate him only once.
I spotted the Yule Trooper in the western part of the map at the Bumpy Bay location. However, you can try looking for the entire northern part of the map that’s covered in Snow. The Yule Trooper can spawn at any of the POIs in the snow-covered parts of the map. The final location, as I mentioned above, will be random.
All Yule Trooper loot in Fortnite
The Yule Trooper will reward you with two legendary items, which include the medallion required to transform into the new boss. Once transformed, you can activate the Jolly Sprint ability, which rewards you with extra stamina and life. However, you’ll always be marked on the map, making you an easy target.
Taking down the Yule Trooper also rewards you with his signature Holo Rush SMG and a few other minor goodies. While you can find more common versions of this SMG from chests, the Mythic version is significantly better.
