The current edition of Fortnite adds “unstable” weapons, which are more powerful than the usual legendary or mythic pieces, giving you an advantage in the heat of battle.
With a limited number of three units available (for now), their rarity is notable, but their value is undeniable for those who manage to acquire one.
How to get Fortnite Unstable Weapons
Given the rarity of this weaponry, finding them in chests is nearly impossible. The route to obtaining these creations involves venturing into some of the most dangerous locations in the world. However, there are ways to locate these rare weaponry:
The Overlord’s Spires are a starting point:
Dismantling these structures increases your chances of obtaining one of these weapons.
Spires appear randomly at different points of interest and are identified on the game’s Supermap by white markers.
Once taken down, the Spire will grant you a random unstable weapon.
Another option is S-Rank Hero Caches:
These are obtained by reaching S-Rank in a match and are found after raising your ranking in the game. They contain unstable rare items.
Finally, the Academy Tech Labs keeps a Hero Cache in the basement of Supernova Academy. If your rank is right, you can open it. Occasionally, this basement also houses a loot area where these weapons are found.
Unstable Weapon Features
To get the most out of these weapons in Fortnite, you should know that all unstable weapons require sharpness, fine aim, and clever placement.
Using them is fairly straightforward: simply shoot as you normally would, and the special abilities will activate automatically.
Among the unstable rare weapons available, we find the Unstable Yoink Shotgun, which, with the first shot from a full magazine, pulls an opponent towards you, making it ideal for executing close-range combos.
Then there’s the Unstable Voltage Burst Pistol, which emits bursts of shockwaves with the first and last shots of each magazine, making it useful for controlling groups of opponents or clearing out tight situations.
Finally, the Unstable Coldfire Shotgun alternates between increasing your speed and decreasing the enemy’s, making it perfect for players with keen aim.
The three unstable weapons offered in Fortnite are truly amazing. However, it’s wise to choose the ones that best suit your playstyle.
The Unstable Coldfire Shotgun is currently considered the most powerful of all, offering great mobility and pairing well with hero items like the Mystic Gauntlets.
For those who prefer not to play at close range, the Unstable Voltage Burst Pistol is a solid choice, allowing you to fight from a distance.
And if you want to add a touch of fun to the game, you can search for the unstable Yoink shotgun and make it difficult for your opponents to find their way around.
