Map, POIs & bosses
15 named locations, 8 landmarks, 5 bosses. Fortnitemares locations are gone after Nov 1; the Treasure Hunters mini-season will change the map again.
Bosses & Mythics
Dr. Eggman
Drops: Midas' Masterpiece (Mythic, since the hotfix), Sonic Power Sneakers (Mythic or Epic), 1-Up Token. His 8-Bit Shotgun Mythic is vaulted for now.
Headshots crit; stay out of the AoE and strafe the projectiles. Loud fight, expect third parties.
Hush
Drops: Enhanced Assault Rifle (Mythic), 1-Up Token
Fights with an AR and Tetris Rift cover. Push her early before the POI fills up.
Freddy Krueger
Drops: Freddy's Nightmare (Legendary)
Keep distance; the blade teleports him into melee range.
Mecha Ghost PAC-MAN mini-bosses
Drops: Loot and Sprite Dust
Easy XP targets for the Fortnitemares quests.
FNAF animatronics
Drops: Possess them after defeating; a short invulnerable window when the shell breaks
Good for closing out a fight you are losing.
