Poison Ivy is stationed on the small island north of The Battlewoods, near Lifty Lodge, as part of Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 3‘s Hot Bat Summer event. Land close to her spot early, since another player can hire or defeat her first, which removes her from the match.
Where to Find Poison Ivy
Head to the island directly north of The Battlewoods and east of Lifty Lodge. She sticks to the shoreline near the Bus Stop Landmark on that island, and unlike some NPCs, she stays in a fixed spot for the whole match instead of wandering.
The in-game Characters menu doesn’t list her, so tracking her down means flying or rotating to that island yourself rather than checking a map marker first.
Should You Hire or Duel Poison Ivy?
Once you reach her, you get two choices. Paying 350 gold bars brings her on as a Scout Specialist, and in that role she’ll periodically flag enemies and chests in the area around you. Dueling her sends you straight into a boss fight, and beating her drops loot instead of adding a teammate.
You can only pick one option, so match it to how you’re playing that match. Squads leaning on map info benefit more from hiring her, while players chasing a strong early weapon usually duel.
How to Beat Poison Ivy in the Duel
She fights back with her own pistol at rapid fire, so closing to point blank range puts you at a disadvantage. Fighting from mid range cuts down the damage she lands on you.
During the fight she throws Stink Grenades that deal damage over time if you linger in the gas, so keep moving instead of standing in the cloud. She’ll also occasionally wrap herself in a healing field, but it heals slowly enough that you should be able to finish her off before it matters. Her overall health pool isn’t large, so most loadouts can take her down without needing top-tier gear.
Poison Ivy’s Ranger Pistol and Other Drops
Defeating her rewards the Mythic Poison Ivy’s Ranger Pistol, which fires faster while aiming down sights. It deals 36 damage per hit, jumping to 72 on a headshot, with 35 damage against structures. The magazine holds 17 rounds, the fire rate sits at 6.1, and a full reload takes roughly 1.23 seconds.
There’s also a random shot at getting a Batman Sprite from the kill, though that drop is disabled if you’re facing bots instead of real players. Sprite variants include the base version, Gold, Gummy, Galaxy, and Holofoil, with the base being the most common drop. Play Now!
