DARK VOYAGER WILL BE A BOSS THIS SEASON

... Read moreOkay, seriously, who else is hyped about Dark Voyager becoming a full-blown boss this season in Fortnite Chapter 7?! I just saw the news and I'm already brainstorming strategies. This isn't just another challenge; it feels like a major lore drop and a shift in gameplay. I remember the original Dark Voyager skin, and seeing him elevated to boss status, complete with that iconic orange visor and futuristic space suit, is just epic. From what I've gathered, he's not alone – those 'Dark Voyager Drones' are going to be a real pain. My first thought is, are they going to be like mini-guardians, or more like swarming pests? I'm betting you'll need to prioritize taking them out first before you can even think about damaging the main boss. Imagine trying to build or aim while a swarm of those things is after you! It sounds like a total chaos fest, which, let's be real, is half the fun of Fortnite. The OCR mentions him interacting with 'holographic displays showing celestial bodies and data' and holding a 'glowing orb.' This immediately makes me wonder about his attack patterns. Could the 'holographic displays' be part of his arena, perhaps summoning meteor showers or creating zones of effect? And that 'glowing orb'? My money is on some kind of charged attack or a shield generator. Knowing Fortnite, there's probably a specific sequence or weak point we'll need to figure out. Maybe his orange visor glows brighter when he's vulnerable, or perhaps the orb is key to stunning him. I'm thinking this boss fight is going to require some serious teamwork in duos or squads. One person on drone duty, another focusing on the boss's main attacks, and maybe a third on support or flanking. For solos, it's going to be an absolute gauntlet. What weapons do you think will be most effective? High-damage ARs for the boss, or maybe SMGs for quickly clearing out the drones? I'm leaning towards carrying an SMG and a sniper – snipe the drones, then chip away at the boss. Or maybe a shotgun for close encounters if he teleports or charges? I'm so excited to see what the community comes up with in terms of strategies. I'm already picturing players figuring out optimal drop spots, safe zones within the boss arena, and which augments will be crucial. This 'space-themed boss' with its 'dark, futuristic space suit' is a fantastic addition to Chapter 7 Season 2. It really nails the sci-fi vibe. Can't wait to jump in and experience the chaos firsthand. What are your initial thoughts and predictions for taking down Dark Voyager and his drones? Let’s share tips!
