How to get the Wingshot Grappler in Fortnite Chapter 6, season 3

Fortnite's Super season is packed with plenty of powerful superhero loot you can find around the island. Many of these items are singular and tricky to locate, as is the case with the Wingshot Grappler.

This powerful item is required for certain quests and is a great tool to pick up whenever you have the means to acquire it. It's not easy to find, though, so you may need to know how to get the Wingshot Grappler in Fortnite.

Where to find the Wingshot Grappler in Fortnite

The Mythic Wingshot Grappler can be purchased from the Robin NPC in Fortnite. He hangs out inside a small gas station northeast of Demon's Domain, close to the colorful flower fields. This is the same gas station that previously had a black market underneath it in Chapter Six, season two.

It costs 600 gold bars to purchase this item from Robin. It's quite costly, and he only has one for sale in each match, so you have to stock up on gold bars and act quickly to add it to your collection. Most other weapons you can find around the island have a few different rarity variants, but there's only a singular Mythic version of this one.

Robin is also a hireable character, so there's a chance he won't be there when you arrive if another player has already chatted with him. If he's not there, you're out of luck for that match and have to wait for the next one. It's best to head to his location straight from the battle bus if you want to make sure you get the Wingshot Grappler.

You can also earn this item if you manage to find and defeat the player who claimed it before you. This method ultimately comes down to sheer luck, though, since there's no map marker to highlight their location.

How to use the Wingshot Grappler in Fortnite

The Wingshot Grappler has 20 charges and is primarily used to travel around faster. You can shoot it (just like any other weapon) to launch a grappling hook that attaches to any item in its path. You're then pulled towards it rapidly so you can swing forward in style.

How to travel distance using the Wingshot Grappler in Fortnite

To complete the travel distance using the Wingshot Grappler quest for Robin's Training, you need to traverse a total of 500 distance using this tool. This is quite a lot of distance to cover, so it might take a bit of time to get it done. You also only have a limited number of charges, so precision and careful planning are crucial for getting this one done.

To navigate through this task as efficiently as possible, try to aim for objects that are high and decently far away. Aim for tall buildings, rocks, or trees situated up high on mountains to gain distance quickly. The higher and further away the items you attach to are, the greater the distance you'll travel.
