While many of the weapons within Fortnite Wrecked's loot pool are carried over from last season, and include a few unvaulted weapons from Fortnite's past, more recent additions, such as the Boom Bolt and Nitro Fists have appeared. While the Boom Bolt is a superb-ranged weapon, the Nitro Fists are something completely different, and this guide will show players how to find them and use them to take down their enemies.

How to Get Nitro Fists

where to find the Nitro Fists in Fortnite

Nitro Fists are a weapon unique to Chapter 5 Season 3. Though coming in Epic-rarity, securing the base version of these wacky gauntlets is actually pretty easy, as they are fairly common around the Fortnite Island. Players can acquire Nitro Fists in Fortnite as regular ground loot or via opening Chests and Rare Chests.

Once players have found a pair of Nitro Fists, they can simply pick them up to secure them in their inventory. Gamers can also acquire a buffed Mythic variant of the Nitro Fists by defeating Megalo Don, an NPC boss that will either spawn at Brutal Beachhead or cruise around the map.

How to Use Nitro Fists

Nitro Fists differ from many other weapons in the current Fortnite loot pool, offering players the ability to perform a variety of moves. While players can perform a three-punch combo by simply pressing the Shoot button, there are also two additional moves that players can perform, each of which consumes a single charge. These are as follows:

Punch - Shoot button
Uppercut - Aim button
Air Punch - Jump + Shoot button

Epic-rarity Nitro Fists have four charges in total, whereas Megalo Don's Mythic Nitro Fists boasts five. Once a charge has been consumed, the Nitro Fists will replenish it within 11 seconds.
