Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 3 is all about vehicles, and the best of them all is undoubtedly the War Bus. It’s a decked-out version of the iconic Battle Bus we all know and love. Equipped with Anti-Vehicle Turrets, Off-Road Tires, and Spiked Bumper, it is one of the deadliest cars in the Wasteland. In this article, we will cover where to find the Battle Bus and how to hijack and take it as your own.

What is the Fortnite War Bus?

Fortnite’s War Bus, which is essentially a Wasteland-themed version of the Battle Bus players drop from at the start of the game. Fortnite Chapter 5 Season has brought a lot of emphasis on vehicles. It has introduced mods to weaponize them just like Weapon Mods. Vehicles aren’t limited to transport anymore and have become a weapon for your loadout. The War Bus is arguably the best vehicle currently in the game.

It comes with pre-attached vehicle mods including Spiked Bumpers, Off-Road Tires, and Anti-Vehicle Turrets. It’s certainly not the fastest vehicle in the game and some might even argue it’s the slowest, but speed is not where the War Bus shines. It’s the durability and the Anti-Vehicle Turrets. The War Bus has an EMP Pulse that disables vehicles around a small radius and damages players’ shields. The EMP Pulse recharges after a few seconds and is available to use again.

With vehicles being so powerful in the current season, having a weapon that can essentially disable them is extremely overpowered which is one of the reasons the War Bus is so strong.

Where to Find the Fortnite War Bus?

There can be a maximum of two War Buses in each match. Sometimes only one will spawn and sometimes both. The War Bus is housed by patrollers and at least one of the major NPC of Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 3 will be driving in their car in front of the Bus. To find the War bus you must look for the Gold NPC symbol on the map that’s not on their POI and is patrolling around the map. After you find the War Bus, be prepared to hijack it.

How To Hijack the Fortnite War Bus

Finding the War Bus is quite easy, but hijacking is not. Firstly, The War Bus is filled with Patrollers (Henchmen NPCs) and is guaranteed to have a Boss NPC. So, you must be looted up quite well and be prepared for the fight beforehand. All you need to do is defeat all the NPCs in the War Bus is yours. You will also get the medallion and mythic weapon from the Boss NPC and their vehicle as well. This is why going for the War Bus can be so beneficial. It’s a high-risk high-reward fight.

Conclusion

The War Bus is an extremely powerful vehicle in Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 3, and it guarantees a Mythic Weapon and Medallion. Of course, getting it is no easy feat as you have to defeat the horde of NPC and defend from other players as well. But the reward is definitely worth it. So, find the War Bus and hijack to get an early advantage in the game and ultimately win the match.
