The hunt for Bigfoot just got a whole lot easier—turns out the legendary cryptid has been hiding in Fortnite this entire time.
Bigfoot Has Entered Fortnite
After the 39.10 update dropped on December 11, players started reporting something unusual: a tiny sasquatch wandering around the map. Yes, you read that right—Bigfoot, the elusive forest-dwelling creature from decades of real-world speculation and that infamous 1967 Patterson-Gimlin footage, is now roaming the Fortnite island.
This isn’t your typical celebrity crossover like Darth Vader or Ariana Grande. This is way weirder, way more unexpected, and honestly? Pretty hilarious.
Where to Find Bigfoot in Fortnite
Here’s where things get tricky. Unlike most NPCs in Fortnite that hang out in predictable spots, Bigfoot has completely random spawn locations. He wanders various routes across the map, making him genuinely difficult to track down.
What makes it even more challenging:
- He’s surprisingly tiny – ironic given the name “Bigfoot,” right?
- He’s invincible – you can’t damage him no matter what you try
- He vanishes if you get too close – approach within 35 meters and poof, he’s gone
Think of him as the ultimate hide-and-seek champion. You’ll need sharp eyes and some patience to catch a glimpse before he disappears into thin air.
Is This Bigfoot’s First Fortnite Appearance?
Not exactly. A Bigfoot skin was actually added to the Fortnite store way back in 2019, so the character isn’t completely new to the game. However, this is the first time Bigfoot has appeared as an actual NPC wandering the map, which makes this sighting much more significant.
What Does Bigfoot Mean for Fortnite’s Future?
Here’s where things get interesting. Epic Games doesn’t usually add random wandering NPCs for no reason. Remember The Wanderer from Chapter 5 Season 3? That mysterious hooded figure behaved almost identically to Bigfoot—invincible, elusive, and prone to vanishing.
Turns out The Wanderer was teasing the arrival of Doctor Doom, who became the main villain of the following season.
So what could Bigfoot be hinting at? A few possibilities:
- A story event in Chapter 7 Season 2 – perhaps a nature or wilderness theme
- The upcoming Winterfest event – maybe sasquatch plays a role in holiday shenanigans
- A larger mystery – could be part of a bigger Easter egg hunt Epic has planned
At this point, it’s all speculation. But given Fortnite’s track record of hiding clues in plain sight, this tiny sasquatch probably means something bigger is coming.
How to Spot Bigfoot Before He Vanishes
Want to catch a glimpse of the legendary creature yourself? Here are some tips:
Keep Your Distance
Remember that 35-meter rule. If you get too close, he’ll disappear. Use your sniper scope or binoculars to observe from afar.
Check Forested Areas
While his spawns are random, Bigfoot tends to stick to wooded regions—fitting for a forest-dwelling cryptid.
Play Multiple Matches
Since spawns are completely random, you might need to hop into several games before you catch him on your particular route.
Watch Community Reports
The Fortnite community is actively tracking sightings on social media. Check Reddit and Twitter for real-time location updates from other players.
The Bottom Line
Whether Bigfoot is just a fun Easter egg or a major story teaser remains to be seen. But one thing’s for sure—Epic Games has solved the decades-old mystery of where Bigfoot’s been hiding. He’s been in the Battle Royale all along, just waiting for the right moment to make his tiny, invincible, vanishing debut.
Keep your eyes peeled, stay patient, and you might just become one of the lucky few to spot gaming’s most elusive NPC before he disappears back into the wilderness.
