Fortnitehas numerous energy weapons that have been released throughout the years, with Chapter 5 having its fair share that has come and gone with each passing week. They have ups and downs but are worth getting your hands on for their sheer damage output and unique abilities.
During Chapter 5, Season 4’s weekly and seasonal quests, you’ll also find objectives to damage enemies with specific energy weapons. Fortunately, they’re easy to find once you learn a few special locations.
Where to find and damage enemies with energy weapons in Fortnite
FortniteChapter 5, Season 4 has two energy weapons you can use for your quests:
You can purchase both fromIron Man, who roams south of Grim Gate near the armory delivery spot and windmill. You’ll need a few hundred gold to get them, but it’s quick and easy. Alternatively, you can openStark Industries chestsfor a chance at getting both items alongside Iron Man’s Flight Kit and other rare drops.
How to use Iron Man’s Combat Kit
The two best ways to get Iron Man’s Combat Kit are by opening Stark Industries chests and purchasing them from Iron Man. The kit is 600 gold, and there’s only one available per match. In other words, if someone beats you to it, you’ll have to eliminate others or open a bunch of chests.
You can also occasionally claim them from armory deliveries, but these also have a chance to drop War Machine weapons instead.
Iron Man’s Combat Kit had two abilities: Energy Repulsors and the Unibeam. Repulsors are a fancy way of saying energy blasts that shoot out of your hands, while the Unibeam is a long-range, high-power line of energy that fires after a short delay. Your Repulsor attacks also automatically lock on to enemies, while the Unibeam is a precise attack that you can easily miss if your opponent moves around a lot.
How to use Stark Industries Energy Rifles
Like the Combat Kit, you can get Stark Industries Energy Rifles by opening Stark Industries chests or purchasing them from Iron Man. It can also occasionally appear as floor loot or a drop from eliminated players, but this is by far the most consistent way to find them.
Unlike the Combat Kit, the energy rifle doesn’t have any special abilities or unique features. It’s a regular medium to long-range gun that fires fairly quickly and deals solid damage. Outside of that, you’ll mainly need it for quests requiring you to damage enemies from certain distances or any energy weapon objectives.
