Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 3: “Super!” is out now!

Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 3 is here, and it’s going super.

Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 3 is here, and it’s going super. Titled “Super”, this season delivers a full-on superhero experience — complete with new powers, exotic weapons, futuristic POIs, and iconic characters like Superman and Robin. Whether you're in it for the loot, lore, or chaos, there's something for everyone.

Here’s your full breakdown of everything new in Chapter 6 Season 3.

New POI's and Map Changes

A full map overhaul brings multiple new named locations and landmarks to the island. These locations are now active in-game:

Utopia City

Standing as a shining beacon of hope, life is (or was) but a dream against the sleek and serene horizon of Utopia City. Here you’ll find ultra-polished office parks, neatly manicured landscaping, and plenty of loot to fight over.

Supernova Academy

Square one for hero training and hub for the extraordinarily gifted, Supernova Academy is the best place to study how to settle the score with supervillains.

Demon’s Domain

Danger is in the air at Mask Maker Daigo's citadel, Demon’s Domain, where Daigo is plotting to orchestrate a hostile takeover of the academy and Utopia City. His blighted stronghold is the perfect place to refine your technique and practice your supernatural powers!

Hero System

The all-new Hero Rank system allows you to evolve from Rank C → B → A → S → S+ within a match. Ranking up boosts your Effective Health and unlocks powerful Hero Caches. Here are some heroic deeds that'll help you:

  • Eliminating enemy players
  • Surviving Storm phases
  • Taking a Sprite to a Shrine
  • Eliminating henchmen

The tiers go as follows:

Rank C Hero Cache (accessible right away!)

  • Uncommon-rarity weapon
  • Uncommon-rarity consumable
  • Possibly a Boon!

Rank B Hero Cache

  • Rare-rarity weapon
  • Rare-rarity consumable
  • High chance of a Boon
  • Hero Item (more on these later!)

Rank A Hero Cache

  • Epic-rarity weapon
  • Epic-rarity consumable
  • Guaranteed Boon
  • Hero Item

Rank S Hero Cache

  • Legendary-rarity weapon
  • Legendary-rarity consumable
  • Guaranteed Boon
  • Hero Item

If you’re looking for Hero Items, head to the Academy Tech Lab at Supernova Academy. There, you’ll find rooms accessible based on your Hero Rank, containing Hero Items. You’ll also find goods available for purchase with Bars. More Academy Tech Labs will open around the map later this Season!

New Weapons & Items

The loot pool this season is packed with new mythics, gadgets, and unreleased item files found in the game.

Myst Gauntlets fire a cone of damaging shadow energy in front of you. Hero Items aren’t tied to Outfits — they’re loot you can find in Hero Caches and elsewhere around the Island.

Fortnite Myst Gauntlets
  • 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 (coming later this Season): A Cube-matter surf board that’ll get you where you’re going in a jiff.
  • Storm Beast’s Pom Poms (coming later this Season): Transforms you into a rampaging Storm Beast with high-damage attacks and a leaping, highly-disruptive Storm Slam ability.
  • Myst Form (coming later this Season): Briefly transforms you into an invulnerable flock of shadowy ravens that can maneuver a short distance.
    • Fuses together with Myst Gauntlets to become Ascended Myst, which has higher damage and longer-lasting invulnerability.

Here are some more new items!

  • Krypto Treat
  • Superman Sprite
  • Wingshot Grappler
  • Deadeye DMR
  • Killswitch Revolvers
  • Hyperburst Pistol
  • Kor’s Deadeye DMR
  • Enhanced Spire Rifle
  • Myst Gauntlets
  • Spire Rifle
  • Tracking Visor
  • Robin’s Grapnel Gun

Alongside the new gear, several legacy items are making a return this season.

  • Pulse Rifle – Medium-range rifle with tight bloom
  • Nimbus Cloud (Dragon Ball) – High-mobility movement item
  • Kamehameha (Dragon Ball) – Chargeable high-damage energy beam

While the Dragon Ball mythics are not currently active, they are confirmed in the game files and expected to return during a future update or limited-time mode.

Unstable Exotic Weapons

Unstable Exotics are available exclusively from Rank S Hero Caches and Academy Tech Labs:

  • Unstable Yoink Shotgun: Whoever it hits with the first shot from a full clip, they’ll 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, it’ll cycle between giving you a Pepper effect or the target a slowdown effect.

Boons & Sprites!

Every Boon needs a hero. Find new Boons in Chests around the Island or buy them at Academy Tech Labs. This Season, your Boons will grow in power as your Hero Rank increases.

  • Storm Caller Boon: Replenishes Shield while in the Storm, with the amount replenished going up with each Hero Rank. Gives Storm Forecast at Rank S.
  • Speed Healer Boon: Sprint while using healing items and gain Slap afterwards, with the duration of Slap increasing with each Hero Rank. Gain Slap immediately when using a healing item at Rank S.
  • Combat Acrobat Boon: Parkour (mantling, etc.) partially reloads your equipped weapon, and the amount reloaded goes up with each Hero Rank. Reloads all your weapons at Rank S.
  • Heightened Senses Boon: Players who attack you are marked, and the duration they’re marked increases with each Hero Rank. Its cooldown is lowered at Rank S.

The Dash Sprite and Superman Sprite have replaced the Air and Water Sprites on the map. Like a smol elemental genie, the Dash Sprite grants three Dash charges over time to anyone standing in its area of effect. Meanwhile, the Superman Sprite lays waste to everything in front of it with its righteous laser beam gaze — it will melt through any fort with a smile on its face.

More Mythics and Bosses

Daigo the Mask Maker has returned from the spirit realm wholly corrupted by dark magic, growing in power as he drains the Island using his Spires. You’ll want to be well-looted before challenging him at Demon’s Domain. 

Take out Daigo and you’ll get the Mythic Enhanced Spire Rifle and the Infernal Defenses Medallion, which increases reload speed and regenerates Shield every second, up to 50 Shield. Just remember — a Medallion doesn’t mask you! Medallions make you visible on opponents’ mini-map, and the more Medallions you have, the more precise the radius of your exact location.

Fortnite Battle Royale Mask Maker Diago

Daigo's lieutenant, Kor, can be found where Shogun X once stood. She jumps around quickly, putting distance between herself and players so she can rattle off a shot with her powerful Deadeye DMR. (Which stings something fierce!) Defeat Kor and you’ll be rewarded with the Mythic Kor’s Deadeye DMR and the Shrouded Striker Medallion, which gives invisibility when you sprint jump. It also makes the sprint jump send you farther, faster, and higher.
