What are the Chains of Hades in Fortnite? Answered
The Chains of Hades in Fortnite is a new Mythic weapon that allows players to deal close-range damage to opponents. The Chains of Hades pull players or objects closer, and then when they are in striking distance, players use the chains to inflict damage.
The Mythic weapon functions similarly to the Grapple Blade, but without the mobility.
How to Get Chains of Hades in Fortnite
To get the Chains of Hades in Fortnite, you must find the new item in floor loot, Chests, or Supply Drops. You can also defeat Hades in The Underworld to receive the Mythic weapon.
If you do not want to risk venturing into The Underworld, then you will have to rely on RNG to come across the Mythic. The best way to secure the Chains of Hades, though, is to challenge the Hades NPC and eliminate him before anyone else does in your match. Then, you will automatically get the Mythic weapon.
