Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 3 has unleashed a game-changer that's got everyone flying high — literally. The Superman mythic has landed, transforming lucky players into the Man of Steel himself. If you've been dreaming of zipping across the Battle Royale map with laser vision and super strength, buckle up because we've got the ultimate guide to mastering Superman in Fortnite.
How to Become Superman
First things first: not every round will let you channel Clark Kent’s powers. The Superman mythic spawns randomly during the first storm phase with about a 50% chance
. A notification pops up if it’s dropping in your match, and the location is marked permanently on your map and compass. Just head over to the glowing Superman symbol, step into it, and watch your character blast into the sky with iconic Superman abilities unlocked. Fun fact: only one player per match can claim the Superman mantle — so gear up and race to that spot!Superpowers You’ll Unlock
- Flight: Soar over enemies, buildings, and the storm like a true hero, giving you unparalleled map control.
- Heat Vision: Zap foes with destructive laser beams — perfect for softening builds or picking off careless enemies.
- Super Strength Ground Pound: Divebomb from the sky to unleash a powerful shockwave that damages and knocks back opponents, reminiscent of the classic crypto slam.
Top Tips to Dominate as Superman
- Hug the Edge of the Storm Circle: Use your flight to stay at the storm's edge, controlling sightlines while your teammates flank unsuspecting enemies from other angles. Staying mobile is key — Superman’s powers thrive on agility and position.
- Knock Enemies Off Ledges and Builds: Use your ground pound to physically shove opponents off cliffs or high ground. It’s not just damage; it's psychological warfare — nothing like sending someone flying to shake their confidence.
- Use Heat Vision Wisely: Don’t waste laser blasts on fully built forts — pick apart weak walls and targets who don't expect your sudden pop-off.
- Be Mindful of Cooldowns: Superman’s powers are mighty but limited. Time your abilities strategically, especially the ground pound, to maximize impact and avoid being vulnerable mid-air.
- Keep Your Distance When Needed: While Superman is beefy, you're not invincible. Use flight to disengage if overwhelmed and regroup with your squad for coordinated attacks.
Bonus: Getting the Superman Skin
If hero cosplay is your jam, you’ll want to unlock the Superman skin through the Season 3 Battle Pass. Specifically, you need to hit level 12 in the Battle Pass to grab this iconic look. Pair it with your mythic powers, and you’ll be the most feared—or admired—player on the island.
Why Superman Changes the Game
The addition of Superman to Fortnite isn’t just a new skin or gimmick; it’s a strategic pivot that adds verticality, crowd control, and raw power to the table. The mythic’s ability to fly and deal explosive damage reshapes combat dynamics, making positioning and timing more crucial than ever.
In a season full of superheroes, Superman reigns supreme by mixing classic DC flair with Fortnite’s chaotic fun. So next time you drop into Chapter 6, keep an eye out for that glowing emblem — you might just get to be the last hero standing, flying high above the rest.
