Unleash your true power in Fortnite Battle Royale: Super!

While Mask Maker Daigo siphons energy from beneath the Island’s bedrock, the next generation of heroes rise up at Supernova Academy. Brimming with unbridled power, these brave recruits must master their abilities to deny Daigo’s drain. So, lock in! Train. Give it everything you’ve got. Reach your prime. It’s time for a superhero crash course in Fortnite BR Chapter 6 Season 3: Super!

From zero to hero

The objective is simple enough: put your powers to the test against the dreaded Mask Maker Daigo and his minions. And you know, the other 99 players in the match. Here’s where the day needs saving:

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.

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.

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!

Rise through the Hero Ranks

So you wanna be a hero? You’ll need to earn your stripes first! Every time you perform a heroic deed in each match, you’ll progress towards raising your Hero Rank. All players will start each match with C rank, and can rise through the ranks of B, A, S, and S+. Your Hero Rank is shared among members in your party. Here are some heroic deeds that’ll help you:

  • Eliminating enemy players

  • Surviving Storm phases

  • Taking a Sprite to a Shrine

  • Eliminating henchmen

Every time you rank up, you’ll gain 100 Effective Health. You’ll then gain access to a Hero Cache chock-full of powerful loot. There is no Hero Cache for S+. Instead, when you hit S+, you’ll reach your final form and receive all the Boons you were missing—watch out for this power spike!

Defy the odds with Hero Items

Notable heroes at Supernova Academy have signature powers you can wield as your own! Take, for instance, Morgan Myst. Her 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.

Here are the other Hero Items that’ll help you save the day and your grade:

  • Killswitch Revolvers

  • Tracking Visor

  • Bass Boost

  • Surf Cube (coming later this Season)

  • Storm Beast’s Pom Poms(coming later this Season)

  • Myst Form (coming later this Season)

Extracurricular equipment

There’s a lot more power at your disposal outside of Hero Items. Toss out a Krypto Treat, and Superman’s furry canine companion will dive bomb from the cosmos to retrieve it, dealing serious damage to anyone or anything nearby!

Other items include:

  • Robin’s Grapnel Gun

  • Spire Rifle

  • Hyperburst Pistol

  • Deadeye DMR

  • Unstable Exotics (exclusive to Rank S)

Bolster your abilities with Boons

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

  • Speed Healer Boon

  • Combat Acrobat Boon

  • Heightened Senses Boon

Sprites, the best sidekicks

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.

Bad guys and losing, name a better combo

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.

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.

Change it up with Fortnite on Nintendo Switch 2

Fortnite on Nintendo Switch™ 2 has arrived just in time for Super! To celebrate, anyone who logs into Fortnite on this new console by March 31, 2026, will receive the Wishing Star Emote. (Wish for the good guys to win against Daigo.)

There’s a hero in all of us. Fortnite Super runs from now to August 8!
