Fortnite Chapter 3 has finally been unveiled for players, allowing new mechanics and environments to be explored. Along with the new gameplay features in Chapter 3 comes new mythic weapons built around the new season theme.
Mythic weapons in Fortnite are special because they often require some challenge to get, and only one player can have them each match. Mythic weapons are also highly sought after for better perks, such as faster fire rate and maneuverability options.
Sadly, these weapons are popular and can be hard to get, as was mentioned earlier. So for Fortnite fans who want a leg up on the rest of the competition, here is how to quickly get the Mythic weapons for chapter 3 that are currently available.
The Foundation's MK-Seven Assault Rifle
The first mythic weapon can only be earned after defeating The Foundation NPC in Fortnite. The Foundation will be wandering around the Sanctuary compound in the eastern portion of the map.
The best weapon choices against The Foundation will be SMGs and Assault Rifles, due to his large health pool. Another good strategy is to take out the other Sentries nearby him first since they will immediately come to his aide once he is hit. However, just be warned that The Foundation will also rush to help sentries if they are also shot.
Once players are ready to engage The Foundation, the best fighting strategy is to fire at him from a higher elevation, such as a building or a ramp top, while standing still. Believe it or not, the AI is mainly programmed to target enemies swerving left and right and will easily knock players out, so standing still slightly confuses it. Additionally, be sure to duck behind cover once The Foundation charges his rock-throwing move, as it will deal great damage and blow up walls.
Once defeated, he will drop the weapon for players to use. This mythic assault rifle boasts a 2.5 higher fire rate than the ranger assault weapon, faster reload, greater damage, and a first-person point of view when aiming.
Spider-Man Web-Shooters
The second Mythic weapon that can be found is the Spider-Man Mythic web-shooters. The web-shooters weren't meant to be entirely out in the game until December 11th. However, some fans have found ways to buy them from NPCs and try them out. After collecting 400 gold, visit the Guaco Fortnite NPC at Greasy Grove in an Arena match to buy it from him.
For players looking for the best way to farm gold in Fortnite, be sure to break down beds, chairs, washing machines, and couches that will drop plenty of gold. However, once December 11th comes around, there will most likely be a more straightforward method to find the web-shooters in the Daily Bugle location that doesn't involve gold. This method is simply for fans who want to get an early taste of what it feels like to be Spider-Man.
Fortnite is currently free-to-play on PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S. The mobile version of Fortnite is still currently unavailable on both the App Store and Google Play Store.
