In fact, you use Magneto Power to unlock the X-Men outfit by completing Magneto quests.<\/p>\n<p>Aside from that, though, Magneto Power is pretty darn cool (and strong). You\u2019ll definitely want to get hold of it.<\/p>\n<p>Read on to have the Fortnite Magneto Power explained. Discover how to get it and what it does below.<\/p> <h2><b>How to get Magneto Power in Fortnite<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><b>To get Magneto Power in Fortnite, you need to find and equip the Magneto Gauntlets item<\/b>.<\/p>\n<p>As the Magneto Gauntlets and Powers are so powerful, however, the new item is a rare drop. You can find Magneto Gauntlets as a random drop as floor loot or within chests, supply drops and supply drones but it is a rare enough item to find this way.<\/p>\n<p>If you have the coin, perhaps the easiest way to get Magneto Power in Fortnite is to <b>purchase the Magneto Gauntlets from the Wastelander Magneto NPC in Brawler\u2019s Battleground<\/b>.<\/p>\n<p>The Magneto NPC sells his Gauntlets for 400 Gold.<\/p>\n<p>If you can\u2019t afford that, just keep your fingers crossed that you pick up Magneto Gauntlets as a random rare drop.<\/p>\n<script src=\"https:\/\/cdn.greenvideo.io\/players\/gv.js\" data-license-key=\"f0cf5e3e9068d9a4affa36d5c8962eaf1a0662ba\"\/> <div style=\"width:50%;min-height:100vh;overflow:hidden;aspect-ratio:16\/9;position:relative;\"> <style><![CDATA[ .gvtext1, .gvtext2 { animation-duration: 5s; animation-iteration-count: infinite; animation-direction: alternate; width:100%; } .gvtext1 { animation-name: gvtext1; } .gvtext2 { animation-name: gvtext2; } @keyframes gvtext1 { 0% { opacity: 1 } 47% { opacity: 1 } 50% { opacity: 0 } 100% { opacity: 0 } } @keyframes gvtext2 { 0% { opacity: 0 } 50% { opacity: 0 } 53% { opacity: 1 } 100% { opacity: 1 } } ]]><\/style> <div style=\"font-family:arial;font-size:smaller;position:absolute;height:100%;width:100%;background:rgb(208, 208, 208);border-radius:30px;display:flex;text-align:center;align-items:center;\"> <div class=\"gvtext2\" style=\"position:absolute;\"> Green Video Post Element <br\/>Video ID: \"7f8d6229f7f4ff05c70b544d77291ca04de7c5a6\" <br\/>Mix ID: \"\" <br\/>Player ID: \"Tw3-XowQ\" <\/div> <div class=\"gvtext1\" style=\"padding: 10px;\"> If the player doesn't appear here within a few seconds, the Player ID or Licence Key (set via IM Green Video settings) might be invalid. <\/div> <\/div> <green-video embed-id=\"Tw3-XowQ\" content-id=\"7f8d6229f7f4ff05c70b544d77291ca04de7c5a6\" mix-id=\"\"\/>\n<\/div> <h2><b>What does Magneto Power do in Fortnite?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>Magneto Power allows you to <b>summon and shoot shards of metal at your opponents for massive damage<\/b>. With the Magneto Gauntlets equipped, you can also defend yourself with a powerful shield made up of those same metal shards.<\/p>\n<p>Especially powerful against vehicles \u2013 perfect for Chapter 5 Season 3 \u2013 Magneto Power is stupidly strong. The item does carry a 7.5 second recharge time and has a magazine size of just five charges.<\/p>\n<p>Defending with Magneto Power in Fortnite is just as strong as attacking with it. Your Magneto Power shield has 400 health, blocks bullets and vehicles and will knock back any vehicle that hits it with an impulse attack.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, with Magneto Power, you can make the most of low gravity \u2013 you\u2019ll jump higher and take no fall damage with the Magneto Gauntlets equipped.
