Getting Magneto Power in Fortnite isn’t too tricky but you’ll need to know where to look. Here are your options:

  1. Buy from Wastelander Magneto: The easiest way to get Magneto Power is to head to Brawler’s Battleground. There you’ll find Wastelander Magneto hanging out. He’s selling the Magneto Power gauntlets for 400 Gold. But watch out! He only has one in stock so you’ll need to be quick.
  2. Find it as loot: If you’re feeling lucky you can try to find Magneto Power as floor loot or in chests scattered around the map. You might also spot it in supply drones or supply drops.

Remember Magneto Power is a Rare rarity item, not a Mythic as some expected. This means it might be a bit easier to find than you thought!

Once you’ve got your hands on Magneto Power it’s time to put it to use. Here’s what you can do:

  1. Metal Shard Attack: Use your primary fire button to hurl metal shards at enemies. Each hit deals 95 damage to players and a whopping 415 damage to vehicles. You’ve got 5 charges that recharge every 8 seconds.
  2. Magnetic Shield: Your secondary fire creates a shield of metal shards to protect you from incoming fire. It’s not indestructible though so use it wisely!
  3. Fall Damage Immunity: While equipped with Magneto Power you won’t take any fall damage. Plus you’ll notice a cool low-gravity effect when jumping and falling.
  4. Infinite Ammo: Don’t worry about running out of metal shards – this power comes with infinite ammo!
