For those unfamiliar, Mythic weapons are variants of normal weapons but on steroids. They deal more damage, fire faster, and reload quickly. However, only one of each mythic weapon can be found—but finding them? Well, let’s say it’s not a walk in the park.
What are the Enhanced Weapons in Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 1?
Chapter 6 brought a completely new loot pool, featuring new shotguns, SMGs, ARs, and a katana. There are eight new weapons, seven of which have Enhanced variants. These weapons are:
This guide does not include themasks. Although they have enhanced variants, they are technically not weapons.
How to Find These Enhanced Weapons
InFortnite, Chapter 6, the process to get one of these weapons is a bit different. Before, each weapon was carried by a Boss NPC, who you would find in POI. You would get this weapon upon defeating that NPC. This means, that for every mythic gun, there was a Boss NPC.
However, in this season, there are only two Boss NPCs and six Mythic weapons, so how do you go about finding one?
This process repeats; he keeps teleporting away and dropping enhanced weapons. Keep in mind that he teleports far away, so chasing him for another weapon is usually not possible.
In the fourth storm circle, the Shogun X Arena will spawn. It’s a floating island that will spawn inside the circle. You can challenge Shogun X there again and finally defeat him. After which, he drops theShogun X Medallion, anenhanced weapon,and theEnhanced Typhoon Blade.
The chance of Shogun X spawning at the start is not 100%. However, the arena will spawn regardless.

How To Defeat The Bosses
Another thing that changed this time around is how the boss fights work. Before, you would just approach the NPC, shoot him till their health bar runs out, and pick up the loot. This time, theboss fights are harderand quite different. So, here is how to defeat each boss.
How To Defeat Shogun X - Roaming and Arena
You can find him on the map; his position is marked by a large oni-mask icon. Just loot up and get to that location. The fight isn’t super hard. There are only two attacks, one where he spits fireballs and the other where he teleports and tries to slash you with his katana.
You can dodge both attacks just by being a bit mobile. Just keep moving and emptying your mags into him. At 25% health, he will drop a random enhanced weapon and teleport away.
The arena fight is pretty similar; his attacks are the same but just more deadly. The strategy is the same: keep moving and shooting. If you can defeat him, you will get your hands onthe Shogun X Medallion, anenhanced weapon,and theEnhanced Typhoon Blade.
How To Defeat Night Rose
you may find Night Rose in the Demon’s Dojo POI. You will find her in a room with a Sumo ring. To challenge her, you must step into the ring. You can move away from it after that, but to initiate the fight, you will have to enter the ring.
From then on, it’s just raining bullets into her. The boss has two phases:
In the first phase, you just have to shoot Night Rose, and in the second phase, you have to shoot the eyes of the masks. The fight will switch between these two phases a couple of times until the health bar is drained. After dying, she will drop theNight Rose Medallion, arandomBoon(not 100%), theEnhanced Veiled Precision SMG,andNight Rose’s Void Oni Mask.
