Fortnite accidentally brings a Chapter 3 weapon into play 5 days early – use it at your own risk

Fortnite has had many new weapons since the start of Chapter 3. However, one of them should not be in the game yet and appear at a later date. We at MeinMMO will show you how you can get hold of the Spider-Man gloves earlier.

What kind of weapon is that? Fortnite presented the new Chapter 3 on December 5th after a blatant live event. It was noted in the patch notes that a new mythical weapon will set foot on the island: Spider-Man’s net shooter.

However, this weapon should not have appeared in the game yet and should not have been offered for sale until a later date. We’ll show you a method how to get this new gadget – but at your own risk.

How do you get the gun? The weapon was originally intended to be offered for sale at a later date. So it cannot be found in the usual Battle Royal mode. However, there is a bug in arena mode that allows you to use the superhero’s gloves earlier.

Der Twitter-User GlitchKing15 shows a gameplay in advance how this gadget works on the map:

GlitchKing15 could only buy the item from a dealer in Greasy Grove. There he had to spend 400 gold bars.

Is there an obstacle? The problem with the arena mode is that you rarely get hold of gold bars. That means you have to try to get gold on your own. Either by finding cash registers, killing enemies or destroying furnishings such as washing machines or beds.

When should the gun come? Epic wrote in their patch notes that the gloves won’t go on sale to all players until December 11th. Therefore one could assume that this is not wanted and that it is a bug.

Use it at your own risk: Since this is probably a bug and Fortnite never lets it stand that way, it will certainly be deactivated again after a hotfix. So use this bug at your own risk, as such exploits can result in account bans.

The gloves are definitely worth the money when they officially launch on December 11th.
