Fortnite Hot Bat Summer Guide: Every Gotham Siren, Location, and Loot Drop
Gotham's rogues gallery decided the island needed a vacation, and honestly, who could blame them.
The Hot Bat Summer event has parked Harley Quinn, Poison Ivy, and Catwoman across the map in beach mode, and each one is hiding a duel behind the small talk. Hire them and they'll work a Specialist role for you. Push them into a fight instead and you're looking at a Mythic weapon drop and a shot at the Batman Sprite. I'll walk you through where each one's set up camp, what they'll actually throw at you, and what's worth grabbing off their bodies afterward.
Harley Quinn: South of Sinister Strip
Harley's parked herself on the shoreline just south of Sinister Strip, and she's not hard to spot once you're in the area.
You can hire her for 350 Gold and she'll ride with you as a Scout Specialist, but that's the boring option. Pick the duel and things get interesting. Harley fights exclusively with an AR and tosses the occasional grenade into the mix, so closing distance is your friend here. An SMG or shotgun will chew through her shields fast enough that her rifle's range advantage barely matters.
Win the fight and she leaves behind the Mythic Warforged AR, which ramps up its fire rate the longer you hold the trigger down. Here's what you're working with:
She's also got a shot at dropping the Batman Sprite when she goes down, though bot lobbies won't give it to you. Real matches only.
Poison Ivy: North of The Battlewoods
Ivy's set up along the shoreline near the Bus Stop Landmark, just north of The Battlewoods.
Hiring her runs the same 350 Gold, and as a Scout Specialist she'll mark enemies in a small radius around her, which is genuinely useful if you're not in the mood for a fight. But the duel's where the good stuff lives. Ivy fights with a pistol, and up close her rate of fire will shred you, so medium range is the smarter play. The upside is her health pool isn't scary, so whatever you've got in your inventory should be enough to finish the job.
Watch for the Stink Grenades. They leave a gas cloud that ticks damage the longer you sit in it, and she'll occasionally throw up a healing field to patch herself back up. The tick speed on that heal is slow enough that you should still be able to close the fight before it matters.
Beat her and she drops the Mythic Ranger Pistol, which fires faster while you're aiming down sights.
Same rules apply on the Batman Sprite drop. It's a chance, not a guarantee, and bot lobbies are a dead end for it.
Catwoman: South of Wonkeeland
Catwoman claims the beach just south of Wonkeeland, and she'll always spawn in that exact spot. That consistency cuts both ways, though, since every other person dropping nearby knows it too. Get there early and grab whatever weapon's closest before someone else beats you to her.
Talk to her and pick the "Duel: Challenge Catwoman" option to flip her hostile. She only fights with an SMG, so a medium-range weapon keeps you out of the range where her fire rate starts doing real damage. She'll leap around during the fight too, so keep tracking where she lands instead of where she was.
Drop her and you'll get the Catwoman's Rapid Fire SMG, which also carries a bigger ammo pool than standard.
Same as the other two, hiring Catwoman for 350 Gold turns her into a Scout Specialist who pulses out radar to mark nearby targets. But that locks you out of the duel entirely, which means no SMG and no shot at the sprite. Pick your priority before you talk to her.
The Batman Sprite, Realistically
All three duels carry a chance at the Batman Sprite drop, and the odds seem to favor Catwoman a little more than the other two, though it's still random rather than guaranteed. The one hard rule across all three fights is that bot lobbies won't award it, so if you're farming for the cosmetic, you'll need to be in a real match when you land the kill.
If you're chasing the full Gotham Sirens set this event, the smart move is hitting all three locations in one run rather than camping a single spot and hoping. Sinister Strip, the Battlewoods shoreline, and Wonkeeland's beach aren't far apart, and with three separate weapon drops on the table, it's worth the lap even if the sprite doesn't show up on the first try.
