How To Find The Wolverine?

Fortnite Weeping Woods map location

In the marked location, namely Misty Meadows, Wolverine is supposed to wander. Make sure you leave ‘Visualize Sound Effects’ turned on as sometimes players can miss out on the feeble sound he makes as an NPC. Once he makes the slightest of sounds, a visual indication will show up on your screen directing towards his location in the woods.

We advise you to drop in the vicinity of his location and grab certain things before engaging. You will have a better chance to beat him if the approach will full health and shield. Top-up yourself with resources, shields, ammunition, and most importantly long-range riflers and close-range burst rifles or shotguns of at least rare or above quality.

How To Beat The Wolverine?

The most annoying part of facing him is his regenerative ability. The Wolverine regenerates swiftly and comes at you with all his might. He prefers close-range attacks which are essentially death sentence as a single hit from his claws takes away a chunk of your shield and health.

Once you spot him, use the long-ranged rifle for offense and upon it discovering your presence, use the shotgun or the burst rifle to push it back after it charges at you with his claws. Make sure your attacks are in quick succession and your timing with the close-range guns are on point to avoid taking any damage while dealing damage to him in return.

Attacks in quick succession will help in lower his health quicker and he will try to heal in any given opportunity. Completing this task as soon as possible will keep the thought of the storm away from the back of your mind.

Once players complete the challenge and beat the final boss in our beloved Logan, the Wolverine skin will be unlocked in their inventories.
