Posted by The Fortnite Team on

Drawn to Battle Royale’s wasteland, the X-Men’s Master of Magnetism is ready to lay waste to rivals wherever he goes in Fortnite. Complete Magneto’s Wrecked Battle Pass Quests to unlock the Wastelander Magneto Outfit and matching accessories!

These Quests are completable in Fortnite Battle Royale, where you can also find Magneto Gauntlets. Think you’ve got what it takes to wield omega-level power?

Test Enemy Mettle with Metal in Battle Royale

Even inanimate objects bend to the will of Magneto Gauntlets! In BR, pick these up from the ground or Chests then summon shards of metal that act as your ammunition. Launch the shards at your foes to deal devastating damage! You can also protect yourself by summoning shards to form a shield. Magneto Gauntlets are not included in prized tournaments.


Mastery Over Metal, Mastery Over Quests

Think you can live up to Asteroid M’s leader? Magneto’s Quests will challenge your mastery of his gauntlets in Fortnite Battle Royale:
