Fortnite Chapter 5, Season 3 is full of interesting opportunities to jam out to Metallica music, drive cars through high-speed portals, and take over massive war buses. If you’re looking to defeat some bosses and get your hands on some fun turrets, then the War Bus is what you’re looking for.
Where to find a War Bus in Fortnite
During your matches, you can find a War Bus accompanying one of two NPCs: The Machinist and Megalo Don. When you first enter your Fortnite match, you’ll find the two boss icons on your map. They’ll either sit in their respective bases and defend their territory or patrol the map alongside the War Bus. Your goal is to spot one that’s patrolling the map and land near them without getting bombarded by turrets and NPC shots.
Once you approach a patrolling group, you’ll typically spot the Machinist or Megalo Don driving their cars, with the War Bus following close behind. They’ll all become hostile when you approach, so watch your shields and health to make sure you don’t get eliminated immediately. You may also spot players nearby, so watch for them, too.
Depending on your current quest goal, you may be looking to ride on the War Bus, take damage, or inflict damage to it. The easiest way to deal damage to it is to shoot at it, use Nitro Fists against it, or crash down using Ride the Lightning. Alternatively, if you’re fine with taking some damage, you can let it run you over or let nearby NPCs use the War Bus turrets.
As for riding the War Bus, you’ll have to eliminate the NPCs controlling the turrets before using them yourself. Using the turret will complete the weekly quest instantly, allowing you to either use the turrets to attack others or quickly hop off and continue with the rest of the match.
