The gods of Olympus come toFortnitewith Chapter 5 Season 2, bringing forth godly powers and mythical abilities. The Myths & Monsters season ofFortniteprovides a bounty of rewards and powerful items to aid in the eternal fight to be the last one standing among 99 other players, and the Thunderbolt of Zeus might help to make things a little easier when it comes to thinning the herd. Besides, becoming Zeus by controlling the lightning islike being the King of Godshimself, providing intense power and glory.
Players can get their hands on the Thunderbolt of Zeus, and even carry multiple of them, so it’s best to know just how that’s possible, and where players can pick them up, to ensure a shocking time for any that oppose the player who wields the very lightningharnessed by Zeus himselfinFortnite’s Battle Royale.
Where To Get The Thunderbolt Of Zeus
For such a powerful Mythic item, it’s certainly easier to obtain than others. Players will be able to find themselves the Thunderbolt of Zeus in a few different ways, but the most efficient and guaranteed way is toeliminate Zeus, found in Mount Olympus. Upon his elimination, he will drop a Thunderbolt of Zeus. Alternatively, a much safer option, but limited to spawn rates, is tolocate an Olympus Chest or an Underworld Chest, which can be found at Mount Olympus and The Underworld in random chest spawning locations. Upon opening these chests, players might be lucky to guarantee a Thunderbolt of Zeus. The third and final way is toopen Rare and normal Chests. Although this is the rarest method of obtaining the weapon, it’s still fairly safe to not get eliminated andstill get XP.
How To Use The Thunderbolt Of Zeus
The Thunderbolt of Zeus is one of themost unique Mythic weapons inFortniteand certainly brings a lot of charm and power. Players will need toequip the Thunderbolt of Zeusin order to use it, and uponpressing the fire button (R2/Right-Click), the player willleap into the air and charge up a Thunderbolt,hurling two in rapid succession, and thenfinishing off with a charged third. These blasts can be aimed, and they will impact the ground, creating an area of effect that deals 40 damage per target hit. This candeal up to 120 damage. Players arelimited to 3 charges, and these charges do not refresh, meaning they canfire 9 thunderbolts in totalbefore they need to search for another.
It’s worth noting thatplayers are in a vulnerable state whilst using this weapon, as theycan be attacked whilst in the air throwing thunderbolts. It’s best to use this weapon when opponents are in a cluster, as the area of effect damage can injure them all, and perhaps even eliminate them. In a 1v1 situation, it’s best to keep these thunderbolts holstered, as they shoot out fairly slow, and players that are quick on the draw might be able to easily immobilize and even eliminate the player wielding the Thunderbolt of Zeus.
