Where to find The Wanderer in Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 3
Epic GamesFortnite does a solid job of keeping players interested in the game’s narrative with every major update bringing something new to the tale. In Chapter 5 Season 3, players can catch a glimpse of The Wanderer, a spectral villain who was the subject of leaks in the past.
There’s a ton of mystery surrounding this tall and white humanoid figure, with players exploring every inch of the Island just to see him for themselves. So, if you’re not sure exactly where to look, here’s how you can find The Wanderer.
The Wanderer locations
Epic Games/Fortnite.GGYou can find The Wanderer at six different locations:
- Coastal Comms
- Estate Station
- Placid Pumps
- Cliffside Lodge
- East of Nitrodrome
- South of The Dam Bridge
After arriving at any of these locations, explore the area thoroughly and you should be able to find The Wanderer walking around at a brisk pace. Make sure not to get too close to him as he will disappear immediately.
Epic GamesHis presence on the Island is likely a hint at something major coming in the future. Epic are known for planting seeds and easter eggs that foreshadow future events, so it’s safe to assume that The Wanderer will have a bigger role to play this Fortnite season.
Who is The Wanderer
The Wanderer is a mysterious humanoid character who is likely the antagonist of Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 3. This theory is reinforced by the ‘Nitro Fusion Megalo Don’ loading screen, which features the ghostly character standing alongside Megalo Don’s crew.
Megalo also refers to him as an ally during his radio broadcasts and instructs his crew against looking under his hood “as it would be a sight that insignificant minds would not be able to bear.”
The character sports a cloak and a hood at all times, and it doesn’t appear to have a physical form. Getting too close to him will result in The Wanderer vanishing into thin air.
Can you kill The Wanderer?
Yes, you can kill The Wanderer with fire. This was confirmed by a Fortnite player that shared their discovery on Reddit:
Since you can’t get close to the NPC, the only way to do damage is to use hazards. Hired NPCs will try to shoot The Wanderer on sight, but they won’t deal any damage either.
The OP also revealed Mystique’s built-in Emote lets you become The Wanderer if you kill him. This will probably get fixed by Epic soon, as transforming into The Wanderer gives you the ability to turn invisible when other players get close to you.
While you’re waiting to find out what’s next for the character, make sure to keep with Fortnite’s in-game narrative by completing the Story and Weekly quests before a new Marvel season arrives.
