What is Supernova Gear in Fortnite and how to unlock It fast
Image via Epic Games Epic Games has unleashed a new set of powerful tools in Fortnite Chapter 6, Season 3 - and they're already reshaping the battle royale meta. Dubbed Supernova Gear, this special loot set offers a mix of high-impact weapons and useful utilities, all tied into the ongoing quests and Hero Rank system. So what exactly is Supernova Gear, and where can players find it? What is Supernova Gear? Supernova Gear refers to a range of superhero-style equipment introduced in the "Super" themed season. These items are essential for completing specific in-game quests and give players a tactical edge, if they know how to use them. The current list of Supernova Gear includes: Killswitch Revolvers - High-damage pistols ideal for aggressive plays Myst Gauntlets - Energy gloves that deal solid damage and trigger certain quest conditions Tracking Visor - A utility tool that reveals enemy locations, but doesn't inflict damage Bass Boost - An item more suited for movement and structure control than fighting More gear, like the Surf Cube and Storm Beast's Pom Poms, are expected to be added as the season progresses. How to unlock Supernova Gear The most reliable way to collect Supernova Gear is by heading to the Supernova Academy, a new Point of Interest (POI) located in the northern half of the island. Inside, players will find Academy Stands and Hero Caches that dispense Supernova items. Fortnite Complete Supernova Academy Quests - How to EASILY Complete The Trials of Morgan Myst Quests For those at C-Rank or higher, the secret tech labs hidden in the basement of the Academy unlock, offering guaranteed access to more powerful gear. As players increase their Hero Rank by eliminating opponents and surviving storm circles, additional labs and Hero Caches become available across the map. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Play Chess on Your PC, Free Play Classic Chess Install Now Undo Supernova Gear can also appear as regular loot - in chests, on the ground, or after eliminating other players. Some NPCs even sell gear in exchange for gold bars, though this is less reliable. While items like the Myst Gauntlets are excellent for dealing damage, others such as the Tracking Visor and Bass Boost serve more supportive roles. To complete quests that require "damaging opponents within five seconds of using Supernova Gear," players can trigger a utility item first - like activating the Visor or using Bass Boost to close distance, and then quickly follow up with conventional weapons or damage-focused Supernova items. Timing is crucial, and combining gear effectively is the key to mastering this season's challenge-focused gameplay. Whether you're chasing wins or climbing ranks, Supernova Gear is a must-have this season. Also Read: How to find and defeat Kor in Fortnite

After clocking a solid opening week with Rs 9.9 crore, the film's collections have noticeably slowed down. By the end of Day 19, its total earnings have reached Rs 17.37 crore—a decent figure, though the signs of fatigue are showing. Strong opening, followed by a drop According to the Sacnilk website, the film opened with a respectable Rs 1.65 crore on its first Friday, followed by a significant upward trend through the weekend—Rs 1.85 crore on Saturday and Rs 2.25 crore on Sunday. However, from the first Monday onward, the collections saw a predictable weekday decline, settling at Rs 85 lakhs on Thursday. The first-week total gave the film a solid Rs 9.9 crore foundation. Second week trends show waning momentum Week 2 brought a sharper dip in earnings. Starting with Rs 75 lakhs on its second Friday, the film briefly picked up steam over the weekend with Rs 1.1 crore and Rs 1.4 crore on Saturday and Sunday respectively.

As the weekdays began, the numbers dropped sharply—Rs 29 lakh on Monday and just Rs 20 lakh on Tuesday, marking the film's lowest daily figure so far.

The film has quietly stayed in the game for nearly three weeks—even with massive releases like 'Thug Life' and Mohanlal's 'Chotta Mumbai' re-release eating up screen space.
