Chapter 6 Season 3: Super arrives in Fortnite with a brand-new season of battle royale. While the recent Star Wars-themed mini-season focused on blaster weapons, Chapter 6 Season 3 focuses on superpowers and hero items. There’s a new mythic rifle as well.
Here we break down all the new superpowers, weapons, and equipment found in Chapter 6 Season 3: Super. For more on Fortnite’s latest season, here is everything coming to battle royale in Chapter 6 Season 3: Super, including a new superhero ranking system. You can find a rundown of the island’s map changes here.
All hero items
Superpowered “hero items” can be found as loot throughout the map. Only a few powers are available at launch, with more hero items being added later in the season.
- Myst Gauntlets: Fire a cone of damaging shadow energy in front of you.
- Killswitch Revolvers: Dual pistols that allow for some serious action-movie shenanigans. Dodge to evade incoming fire and activate Hangtime in air to fire back with better accuracy.
- Tracking Visor: A high-tech visor that allows for scanning the battlefield, pinging nearby foes, and showing enemy footprints.
- Bass Boost: Creates a wave of sound that destroys structures, damages opponents, and bounces back anyone it comes in contact with. Its secondary fire launches you into the air.
- Surf Cube: Arriving later in the season, this will be a cube-matter surfboard you can ride.
- Storm Beast’s Pom Poms: Arriving later in the season, this transforms you into a rampaging Storm Beast with high-damage attacks and a leaping Storm Slam ability.
- Myst Form: Arriving later in the season, this briefly transforms you into an invulnerable flock of shadowy ravens that can maneuver a short distance. This item can be fused together with the Myst Gauntlets to become Ascended Myst, which has higher damage and longer-lasting invulnerability.
Other new Fortnite weapons in Chapter 6 Season 3: Super
- Robin’s Grapnel Gun: This has a lot more reach than Fortnite’s typical Grappler gun.
- Spire Rifle: This a new light machine gun with a large magazine size that can deal increased damage to structures.
- Hyperburst Pistol: This gun fires rapid three-round bursts.
- Deadeye DMR: This is a high-precision rifle that will crack the shields of opponents at long-distance.
Unstable Exotics are weapons available exclusively from Rank S Hero Caches and Academy Tech Labs:
- Unstable Yoink Shotgun: Whoever you hit with the first shot from a full clip, will be “yoinked” towards you.
- Unstable Voltage Burst Pistol: The first and final shots from each clip produce a shockwave effect at the impact point.
- Unstable Frostfire Shotgun: On a successfully landed shot, this gun will cycle between giving you a Pepper effect or the target slowdown effect.
Krypto companion
Superman’s faithful companion, Krypto, can also assist you in your match. Toss out a Krypto Treat, and Krypto will dive bomb from the cosmos to retrieve it, dealing serious damage to anyone or anything nearby.
