Fortnite Supernova Gear: What is it and where to get it

Fortnite Supernova Gear is a collective description for the various weapons and items linked to superhero powers in the battle royale, though that name itself isn't used within the game so it can cause confusion when trying to identify exactly what it relates to. Players are looking for it as Supernova Gear features in an increasing number of Fortnite quests, so it pays to know what you should be using for those assignments. To help you on your way, here's everything you need to know about Supernova Gear in Fortnite and where to get it.

What is Supernova Gear in Fortnite?

Supernova Gear in Fortnite is comprised of some of the fresh guns and items that were added for Season 3, as part of the Fortnite new weapons drop. Specifically, this gear consists of the superhero equipment that includes:

• Bass Boost
• Killswitch Revolvers
• Myst Form
• Myst Gauntlets
• Storm Beast’s Pom Poms
• Surf Cube
• Tracking Visor

Naturally, for quests that involve dealing damage specifically with Supernova Gear, the Bass Boost isn't much help due to its low damage output and the Surf Cube or Tracking Visor have no damage output at all. However, for other assignments they can be used to prime yourself before switching to regular weapons to deal the necessary damage within a certain amount of time.

Where to get Fortnite Supernova Gear

Fortnite Supernova Gear can generally be found around the island, as both floor loot or in Chests and Hero Caches, as well as purchased from certain Fortnite characters in exchange for gold bars. However, the easiest way to get it is to head to the Supernova Academy POI, found to the north of the island, and search around the buildings. Not only are there Academy Stands that will deposit Supernova Gear when interacted with, but as your Hero Rank increases you can also unlock the secret tech labs in the basement that have even more Supernova Gear for you to claim.
