To get Megalo Don’s Nitro Fists Mythic, you need to find and beat Megalo Don. Unlike some past bosses in Fortnite, this character doesn’t have one fixed location but rather a general area where you can find him.

You can start tracking him down by venturing to Brutal Beachhead near the south end of the map. Once you’re in this area, look for the small skull Medallion marker since this marks his exact location.

If you don’t see him near this spot, this means he’s traveling around in a Convoy. Your best bet is to wander around this area and keep checking your map until you spot his icon since he should still be decently close to the Brutal Beachhead area.
