Fortnite’s Treasure Hunters map has reportedly undergone another change, with Buggy’s Beachhead replacing Loot Lagoon as part of the November 12, 2026, v43.10 update. The new location is associated with Buggy the Clown from One Piece, who arrives as the latest boss encounter on Crossbones Isle.
Fortnite leaker ShiinaBR shared a first look at Buggy’s Beachhead on November 12, identifying it as the replacement for Loot Lagoon. While Epic Games has independently confirmed the new location’s name and Buggy’s arrival, its published update notes do not explicitly identify Loot Lagoon as the area being replaced. That specific map change therefore remains attributed to the reported reveal.
The location forms part of the ongoing Fortnite Treasure Hunters One Piece crossover, which introduced a new Battle Royale island, themed abilities and a rotating schedule of Captain encounters.
Epic Games confirmed in its November 12 v43.10 patch notes that Buggy appears at Buggy’s Beachhead as the week’s boss. Players who defeat him can obtain the Special Buggy Ball and Lever Action Shotgun. The developer also confirmed that boss weapons are now guaranteed drops, making the encounter a reliable way to acquire its associated equipment.
The new location provides a specific destination for players looking to challenge Buggy rather than searching the island for his encounter. The reported replacement of Loot Lagoon also means players familiar with the previous named location may need to adjust their landing routes and navigation around that part of the map.
However, the available information does not establish detailed changes to chest placements, terrain accessibility or other environmental gameplay mechanics. Those details should not be inferred from the location’s reported replacement alone.
Buggy’s Beachhead expands the content introduced through Fortnite's v43.10 update, which also includes new Sprites, adjustments to the loot pool and additional Treasure Hunters events.
Buggy’s arrival follows the Week 2 Treasure Hunters content rollout, which introduced Lil Uzi Vert’s Stronghold encounter and outlined Buggy’s upcoming involvement in the season.
With Buggy’s Beachhead now officially named as his boss location, the November 12 reveal adds a clearer geographical detail to the One Piece collaboration. The specific replacement of Loot Lagoon remains based on ShiinaBR’s report rather than an explicit statement in Epic Games’ patch notes.
