Location, boss fight and how to do it

Snoop Dogg is one of the main characters of Fortnite Remix; Not only is he the star of the new Fortnite Festival season and there's a Snoop Dogg skin in the item shop, but he's also infiltrated the main game. Players can find Snoop Dogg on the Fortnite Remix map as one of the NPCs.

Considering how laid back he seems in real life, you'd probably expect the same from his Fortnite character, but no. If you're looking for Snoop Dogg, you'd better be prepared to fight Snoop Dogg and his guard dogs (which are guards wearing dog masks and not real dogs). Luckily, there are some advantages to defeating him in combat.

Snoop Dogg can be found in The Doggpound, which is located right in the middle of the map. Since he is an NPC, he will wander around this area, so there won't be an exact location to find him in every single game. However, in our experience it is more likely to be found inside the building than outside, so it is best to look there.

However, with the Doggpound being one of the most popular areas this season, it will make things that much more difficult. If you go there right away, be prepared for a fight, but if you go there later in the game, there's a good chance Snoop Dogg won't be there.

Once you find Snoop Dogg in Fortnite, you will be involved in a boss fight against him as he is a hostile NPC. Snoop has a health bar and no shields. So he's not particularly difficult to defeat, but he does have a few tricks.

First, he's surrounded by guards, so you'll want to take them out as quickly as possible or risk being shot at from ten different angles. Snoop Dogg's skills include his DrumGun, which he uses frequently; Stink bombs that can destroy your life bar if you're not careful; and boogie bombs that immobilize you.

To defeat Snoop Dogg in Fortnite, we recommend bringing a few quick-change weapons and some stink bombs. Throwing a Stink Bomb at him will give you passive damage, allowing you to shoot him. Since the Drum Gun takes a while to reload, it's also a good time to deal damage to him.

Once you defeat Snoop Dogg, he will automatically join you as an NPC companion. He has the same abilities as during the boss fight and is usually a pretty useful NPC. He also drops ammo and other important items like Boogie Bombs to help you.

If you defeat Snoop Dogg, he will also drop Snoop's Drum Gun Mythic and a Vault Key. This will give you access to the Doggpounds Vault, which is filled with rare chests that are usually filled with awesome weapons. If you can, we highly recommend you hunt Snoop Dogg in Fortnite.
