As always, a brand new map means a powerful new boss fight, and this time players will be taking on The Foundation, who was recentlyrevealedto be voiced by none other than Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson.

Unlike previous boss fights, The Foundation isn’t hostile at first – he’s been a friend so far in the story, so that makes sense. But if you shoot him, he’ll go on the attack and won’t stop until one of you is defeated.

This location is also swarming with NPCs known as Seven Sentries who will join in the fight if they’re nearby. This makes The Foundation a very difficult boss who will befar easier to defeat in a squad or triothan by yourself.

The best way to approach this boss is to get a medium-to-long-range weapon and shoot from higher ground at a distance. We’d recommend the newMK-Seven Assault Rifle, which has a red dot sight, or a classic Sniper Rifle.

Another trick (shared by YouTuberKanga) is to build up high, preferably with strong material like Metal, and use a Harpoon Gun to keep lifting The Foundation up then let him fall to deal a lot of drop damage.

In summary, here’s how to defeat The Foundation in Fortnite:

Once you’ve defeated The Foundation, you’ll be able to pick up his Mythic MK-Seven Assault Rifle.

While this isn’t as exciting as getting a brand new weapon or item (like Spider-Man’sWeb-Shooters), itisa more powerful version of the MK-Seven, which is already one of the best weapons in Chapter 3.
