Just when we thought Wrecked had shown its full hand, Epic dropped the bass—literally.
Fortnite Chapter 6, Season 3 has morphed from a nitro-fueled wasteland into a superpowered sandbox, introducing a wave of mythic gauntlets, exotic companions, scanner tech, and chaotic combo weapons that are rewriting the rules of the game.
Whether you’re grinding ranked, dominating Zero Build, or meme-running with dual revolvers, this is the season where your loadout defines your legend.
Let’s take a high-octane ride through every major item currently shaping the meta.
🔥 THE BIG FIVE: Superpowers & Hero Items
🎧 Bass Boost
A shockwave item with style. Slam the ground to launch yourself and nearby enemies, breaking builds and causing total disarray. Bonus: it has rhythm.
- Perfect for disengaging, pushing from high ground, or interrupting heals
- Recharges over time — no ammo, just timing
Meta Use: High-tier mobility disruption tool, perfect for Zero Build storm edge chaos.
🌀 Myst Gauntlets
Inspired by Morgan Myst, these gauntlets fire rapid arcane blasts and offer an aerial dash for quick repositioning.
- Excellent mid-range DPS
- Hover-evade makes you slippery to track
- Combos well with speed perks and stamina boosts
Meta Use: Ideal for high-skill slayers who master movement and target-switching.
🌌 Ascended Myst Gauntlets
The evolved form of Myst’s power. Rarer, deadlier, and infused with healing-on-elim, faster fire rate, and double dashes.
- Hard to acquire — think endgame boss loot or rift events
- Reward aggressive playstyles
Meta Use: Best solo carry item this season.
🔍 Flowberry Scanner
A throwable scanner that reveals enemies behind walls and inside bushes. Portable wallhacks? Not quite. But close.
- Marks players and builds for several seconds
- Amazing for duo/trio coordination
Meta Use: Must-have in high-stakes fights, particularly in the endgame.
🦸♂️ Tracking Visor
Another scan tool—but this one’s personal. Equip it and activate to track footsteps and pings of nearby players.
- Great for hunting bush campers and rotating safely
- Low profile, high value
Meta Use: A quiet intel beast for roamers and solo grinders.
🧪 UNSTABLE EXOTICS: Tech Gone Rogue
Found via Tech Labs or Rank‑S caches, these exotics pack insane mechanics:
🚀 Unstable Yoink Shotgun
First shot pulls enemies toward you. Every shot after is devastating.
- Insane for 1v1 control
- Time your shots right, and you delete builds and players
⚡ Voltage Burst Pistol
Creates shockwaves on the first and last shot of each mag. Crowd control with flair.
- Great for tight fights or knocking players off ledges
❄️ Frostfire Shotgun
Alternates between speed buffs and slow debuffs depending on hit timing.
- High ceiling for smart plays
- Insane when paired with movement perks
💥 NEW HERO WEAPONS & COMPANIONS
🐕 Krypto Companion
Yes, Superman’s dog is here.
- Throw a treat — Krypto dive-bombs your enemies
- Guaranteed splash damage
- Rarest among current mythics
Meta Use: A high-risk, high-flair finishing move. Style points: 11/10.
🔫 Killswitch Revolvers
Dual-wield pistols that build aerial momentum and offer bonus accuracy mid-air.
- Good for flashy eliminations
- Pairs well with hover/dash mechanics
🧲 Robin’s Grapnel Gun
Like the Batman classic, but smoother.
- Long-range grapple
- Low cooldown
- Combo with Bass Boost for gravity-defying escape plays
🔫 ROTATING RANGED DOMINANCE
🔥 Spire Rifle (Mythic LMG)
- Large mag
- High structure damage
- Good spread control with tap-fire
🎯 Deadeye DMR
- Best for long-range anchoring
- Tight bullet travel
- Scoped and deadly
⚡ Hyperburst Pistol
- Fires in 3-round bursts
- Great backup for tracking and tag-fighting
🔧 BACK IN THE POOL (Rebalanced or Returning)
- Sentinel Pump Shotgun – Slow fire, high damage
- Fury Assault Rifle – Reliable auto rifle
- Veiled Precision SMG – Quick, accurate burst fire
- Outlaw & Twinfire Shotguns – Close-range clutch weapons
- Surgefire SMG – Great pairing with Bass Boost or Dash mechanics
🧠 STRATEGIC SYNERGIES: Best Loadout Combos
🎯 Ascended Myst + Tracking Visor + SMG
Elite rotation + scan + close burst = aggressive map control
🌀 Bass Boost + Flowberry Scanner + Shotgun
Perfect Zero Build disruptor kit — enter with scanner, slam with bass, finish clean
🐶 Krypto + Spire Rifle + Grapnel
Style flex — pressure from mid-range, then let the dog finish the job
🚨 GAMEPLAY CHANGES DRIVEN BY THESE ITEMS
- Verticality matters again. Bass Boost and gauntlet dashes reward elevation play.
- Scan tools dominate endgame. Flowberry and Tracking Visor are nearly mandatory.
- 1v1 clutch potential is higher. Healing-on-elim and displacement tools let you outplay full squads.
- Loadout creativity is king. No one “meta” rules — you can go loud, stealthy, or full meme.
