Being the most powerful hero in Fortnite Chapter 6, Season 3: Super is no easy feat, especially without the right gear to harness your full potential. Acquiring Supernova Gear is essential for gaining a competitive edge in battles or completing quests effectively.
Where to Find Supernova Gear in Fortnite
The best place to score Supernova Gear is at Supernova Academy. Loot the holographic armor stands located in the northern segment of Fortnite’s map, just north of Brutal Boxcars and west of the First Order Base. Besides these stands, you can also find Supernova Gear as chest loot, floor drops, or by eliminating other players.
Exclusive equipment like Myst Gauntlets, Bass Boost, and the Tracking Visor all fall under the Supernova Gear category. However, depending on what you pick up, you might need additional weapons—typically a firearm—to deal damage required for your quests.
Here’s a quick rundown of the Supernova Gear, known as Hero Items, you can find in Fortnite:
- Killswitch Revolver
- Tracking Visitor
- Bass Boost
- Myst Gauntlets
- Surf Cube (Coming soon)
- Storm Beast’s Pom Poms (Coming soon)
Keep in mind that not all Supernova Gear is tailored for damage. For instance, while the Myst Gauntlets excel in dealing damage enough to complete quests like “damage opponents within five seconds of using Supernova Gear,” some items are more about utility. Bass Boost may have a low damage output, but its high jump capability and knockback can help you execute a strong combo if you have other weapons available. Relying solely on it won’t be sufficient for quest completion.
Your best bet for acquiring Supernova Gear is looting Academy Stands spread throughout Fortnite’s map. Supernova Academy is the primary hub, featuring secret tech labs that each contain weapon stands waiting to be claimed. However, these labs are locked based on Hero Rank; you can access only one lab at the default C-rank, with additional labs becoming available as you navigate through storm circles, eliminate enemies, and defeat henchmen.
If you reach a Hero Rank of B or higher, you gain access to Hero Caches scattered across the map. Although this method is slower than visiting Supernova Academy, it’s a viable option if you want to experiment with different gear types or if you’re nearing completion of a quest and need that extra damage output.
How can I maximize my chances of getting Supernova Gear quickly?
The quickest way to obtain Supernova Gear is by regularly visiting Supernova Academy and looting the holographic stands, as they are the most consistent sources.
Is Supernova Gear only available in Chapter 6, Season 3?
Yes, Supernova Gear is exclusive to Chapter 6, Season 3: Super, enhancing gameplay with unique abilities.
Can I combine Supernova Gear with other weapons?
Absolutely! Combining Supernova Gear with traditional firearms can significantly boost your effectiveness during battles.
What should I do if I can’t access certain tech labs in Supernova Academy?
If you’re locked out of specific labs due to your Hero Rank, focus on completing quests and eliminating players to increase your rank and unlock those setups.
