The new superhero chapter of Fortnite brings even more chaos thanks to various gadgets and abilities introduced with the update. However, the Myst Gauntlets definitely deserve the most attention among everything.

This powerful weapon allows you to unleash a flock of dark ravens that tear enemies apart at close range. But it's not that simple, as you first need to find this item. In this guide, you'll learn how to get Myst Gauntlets in Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 3, and how to use them.

Where to Find Myst Gauntlets in Fortnite

The most reliable place to obtain the Myst Gauntlets is the Supernova Academy location. This point of interest (POI) is located closer to the northern center of the island. Inside the academy, you should head to the Tech Lab — the basement level of the building filled with valuable loot. If your Hero Rank is not lower than level C, you can open the vault. Hero Caches — special chests where Myst Gauntlets can be found — are often located there.

If your rank isn't high enough to access the vault, you'll need to play a few matches or defeat higher-ranked players to increase your Hero Rank. Until then, your chances of finding the gauntlets will be limited by this condition and the vault's restriction, but you can still search outside of it.

While Supernova Academy is the best way to obtain Myst Gauntlets Fortnite, it's not the only place. Myst Gauntlets can also randomly appear in other locations or regular chests, although this is a much less reliable method.

Flying tech stations are also scattered across the island. You can purchase Myst Gauntlets directly for gold bars at these stations:

• Approach the station;
• Press the interaction button;
• Spend 300 gold to receive the reward.

What do Myst Gauntlets do in Fortnite?

Once you obtain the gauntlets, you can equip and use them to gain an advantage in battle. Myst Gauntlets release a cone of shadow ravens that deal damage to everything in front of them. It's a quick, hard burst of damage, perfect for indoor fights or narrow passages where enemies can't escape. So, it's a great weapon for ambushes.

Since Myst Gauntlets don't require reloading and have infinite ammo, you can continuously pressure enemies if you aim correctly. No resources are needed — just pure attack.

How to Use Myst Gauntlets in Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 3

To activate the gauntlets, you need to switch to them first and hold the fire button (on PC — Left Click, and on gamepad — R2). Precision isn't critical since the strike has a wide area, but you need to be close enough for the ravens to hit the target. Your positioning and movement play a role here.

Myst Gauntlets Strategic Tips

• Myst Gauntlets work best when you have the advantage of a surprise attack or when enemies are forced to fight in confined spaces. Stairs, rooms, narrow corridors — these are your allies. As mentioned, this weapon is ideal for ambush strategies in such areas. In open areas, enemies can more easily dodge the strike or take you down before you get close.
• Myst Gauntlets show maximum effectiveness when combined with various mobility tools. Use jump pads, stealth gadgets, or vehicles to quickly close the distance and approach enemies. If you get up close, a full raven strike can break shields and swiftly end the fight in your favor.
• Another effective tactic for Myst Gauntlets is to engage in third-party fights. Due to the area damage effect, Myst Gauntlets can hit multiple opponents simultaneously, turning a chaotic shootout into an easy double victory.

Why Myst Gauntlets Are Important This Season

It's safe to say that Myst Gauntlets have become part of the new combat meta in Fortnite this season. With the updated movement system, hazardous zones like Supernova Academy, and superhero mechanics, the gauntlets are perfectly suited for an aggressive, dynamic playstyle and securing match victories.
