Batman's Beach Buggy has arrived in Fortnite as part of the Hot Bat Summer event in Chapter 7 Season 3. This isn't just a cosmetic nod to the Dark Knight — the Beach Buggy is a fully functional vehicle with a twist that no other land vehicle in the game can match. Driving it also rewards you with seasonal XP, making it worth hunting down every match you drop in.
Where to find Batman's Beach Buggy in Fortnite
The Beach Buggy spawns in several spots across the Chapter 7 Season 3 map, and the most reliable place to check first is any Gas Station. These tend to have the vehicle sitting out at the start of a new round, so landing near one early gives you the best shot at grabbing it before another player does.
If the Gas Stations come up empty, two secondary locations are worth knowing:
- Dirty Duck Carwash — a named point of interest that reliably hosts the Beach Buggy
- Bat Cave near Wonkeeland — the DC-themed landmark is another confirmed spawn, and it fits the theme perfectly

The vehicle is exclusive to the Hot Bat Summer event window, so it won't be on the map indefinitely. Take every opportunity to drive it while the event is active.
How does Batman's Beach Buggy work?
On the ground, the Beach Buggy handles identically to the Whiplash and the SUV — same movement controls, same responsiveness. If you've driven either of those vehicles before, you'll feel at home immediately.
The real difference shows up the moment you launch off a cliff or elevated terrain. Instead of crashing down like a normal car, the Beach Buggy automatically deploys wings and transitions into a glide. No button press required — the wings activate on their own as soon as the vehicle goes airborne. This makes it one of the most versatile vehicles in the current season, combining ground speed with aerial mobility in a single package.

Does driving the Beach Buggy earn XP?
Yes. Simply driving the Beach Buggy awards seasonal XP, which makes it a genuinely useful tool for leveling up your battle pass rather than just a fun novelty. There's no special action required — get in, drive, and the XP accumulates.
The vehicle is also tied to the Hot Bat Summer quest line. Completing the joyride quest tied to it is one of the faster ways to stack event rewards. For a full breakdown of that quest and exactly how to complete it, check out the Batman's Beach Buggy joyride quest guide.
What else is part of the Hot Bat Summer event?
The Beach Buggy is just one piece of a larger DC collaboration. Chapter 7 Season 3 has layered in several Batman-themed mechanics and collectibles worth pursuing alongside the vehicle.
