Grab your presents and get into the Christmas spirit with Fortnite’s Winterfest 2025 update, bringing the best holiday of the year in-game. From a whole host of map changes, like festive decorations and the entire north side of the map being covered in snow, to the arrival of the Winterfest Cabin and much more, this Winterfest is definitely a big one.

Winterfest Quests also enter the fray, yielding heaps of XP to help players fast-track their way through the Battle Pass before the new year. While some quests have players hunting for the Perfect Gift, others will have players taking on new bosses. Here is where to find the Yule Trooper in Fortnite.

Where to Find Yule Trooper in Fortnite

where to find Yule Trooper in Fortnite

Yule Trooper is a Boss that players can encounter during the Winterfest Event in Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 1. Unlike most bosses from previous seasons, Yule Trooper does not spawn at a fixed location on the island. Instead, he shares a pool of potential spawn points with the other bosses introduced this season.

Yule Trooper can appear in several different locations across the Fortnite island. If you are lucky enough to be on the Battle Bus at the start of the match, you may even see him deploy from it, giving you a clearer idea of where he is headed. Here is a rundown of all the possible locations where you can find Yule Trooper:

    • Southeast side of Tiptop Terrace
    • Far south side Wonkeeland
    • North, east, and southwest sides of Clawsy Lodge
    • Latte Landing
    • Pumping Station (far west of Painted Palms)
    • Peelian Swamp (west of Painted Palms)
    • East side of Painted Palms
    • Southwest side of Bumpy Bay
    • North side of Lethal Labs
    • South east side of Sandy Strip
    • Fore Fields
    • Gas Station south of Sandy Strip

    • East side of Humble Hills
    • Battlewood Sign
    • Near the coast, far west of Humble Hills
    • Northside of Sus Studios
    • Cosmic Durr (Far northeast of Classified Canyon)
    • At the cabin east of Looper's Leap (the ramp north of Classified Canyon)
    • Artsy RVs (far east of Classified Canyon)
    • Slice O' Shore (Far east of Loopers Leap)
    • Near the tunnel southwest of Classified Canyon
    • Northside of Battlewood Boulevard
    • Ripped Tides
    • Far southeast of Battlewood Boulevard

Once you locate Yule Trooper, you can take him on directly, and he shouldn’t pose too much of a challenge if you land a few well-placed headshots. However, he will fight back using his SMG, will frequently throw Chiller Grenades to give you icy feet, and he is accompanied by two allied Henchmen.

Dealing a total of 500 damage to Yule Trooper, or eliminating him, will complete the “Damage Yule Trooper or any other boss” Winterfest Quest. Completing this challenge rewards players with 10,000 XP.

Defeating Yule Trooper yields quite a few Mythic rewards. First off, the Yule Trooper’s Kit allows players to transform into the Yule Trooper Boss. Just like all other Boss Transforms, this takes up a permanent item slot, marks you on the map, increases your health and shield, and provides unlimited stamina. When activated, players will also be granted Ice Feet for a short duration and summon two additional Henchmen.

Alongside this, Yule Trooper also drops a guaranteed Chug Jug, Small Shield Potions, and a Holiday Present. He also drops his Yule Trooper’s Mythic Holo Rush SMG. Here is a breakdown of the weapon’s stats:
