How to find Supernova Gear in Fortnite Chapter 6, Season 3

Being the most powerful hero in Fortnite Chapter 6, Season 3: Super is a challenge, especially if you don’t have the tools to utilize your strength. Getting your hands on Supernova Gear is the way to go if you’re trying to get an edge in battle or complete quests.

Where to find Supernova Gear in Fortnite

The easiest way to find Supernova Gear is to visit Supernova Academy and loot its holographic armor stands. You’ll find Supernova Academy in the northern half of Fortnite’s map above Brutal Boxcars and west of the First Order Base. You can also find Supernova Gear as chest loot, floor drops, or player eliminations.

Any new equipment that’s exclusive to Chapter 6, Season 3: Super, such as Myst Gauntlets, Bass Boost, or the Tracking Visor, is viable for this. Depending on the gear type you pick up, you may need another weapon, most likely a gun of some kind, to inflict damage for your quests.

Here’s a list of every Supernova Gear, also known as a Hero Item, available in Fortnite:

• Killswitch Revolver
• Tracking Vistor
• Bass Boost
• Myst Gauntlets
• Surf Cube (Coming soon)
• Storm Beast’s Pom Poms (Coming soon)

Not all Supernova Gear is ideal for dealing damage. While Myst Gauntlets are fantastic for this, with them alone being enough to complete quests like “damage opponents within five seconds of using Supernova Gear,” others are utility items that help you survive. For example, Bass Boost has low damage output, but its high jump ability and knockback can help you get a strong combo off if you have other weapons to help you. Without additional damage-dealing gear, it won’t quite be enough to complete this objective.

The best way to get Supernova Gear is to loot Academy Stands around Fortnite’s map. Supernova Academy is the go-to place for these, with its secret tech labs each having a weapon stand for you to claim. However, these rooms are locked behind Hero Rank, with only one lab available at the default C-rank and more opening as you survive storm circles, eliminate players, and defeat henchmen.

If your Hero Rank is B or higher, you can open Hero Caches around the map for these items. Although this is slower than visiting Supernova Academy and claiming a weapon stand, it’s a great alternative if you want to try out different types or are close to finishing the quest and need a bit more damage output.
