This New Fortnite Weapon Is Going To Change Your Whole Game

A new item is coming to everyone's favourite free-to-play game, Fortnite, and this one will help you reach new heights… it's a grapple!

Fortnite's latest event, High Stakes, brings a heap of new content to the fan-favourite game, including a new suit, new challenges, and a cool grapple hook, too.

Well… we say hook, but it's not really. Technically it's a grapple sucker, which allows you to stick to a load of surfaces across the map, including player-made structures. An epic rarity item (which means it's super hard to get) with 15 "shots", it can launch you across the map in seconds, helping you escape - and take out - opponents quickly.

Can we grapple other players? We're not sure yet… but we can't wait to try it and find out!

The Grappler will drop for players when High Stakes goes live this week, on Thursday 6th September. 

Fortnite - which is out on iPhone, Nintendo Switch, PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One - encompasses a Hunger Games-like battle which pitches 100 players against each other, either alone or in small teams. The team or player that survives until the end wins the match.
