Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 4 has finally added the Mega Man crossover in the form of a new weapon called the Mega Buster, which you can now get in a Battle Royale match. This arm cannon packs quite the punch, and it’s perfect to use if you’re tired of using traditional weapons. Having said that, here is how to get the Mega Buster in Fortnite
Where to Find the Mega Buster in Fortnite
Unlike the elusive Fortnite 1-Up Token that grants you an extra life, the Mega Buster is far more common, despite being a “Rare” rarity item. You won’t have to look too far and wide to find it. The Mega Buster item can be found in loot chests and floor loot that spawn all over the Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 4 island.
In fact, the Mega Buster is so common in Fortnite that you will be able to find it lying on the floor along hot spots and common POIs. Unlucky for you, this is one item you won’t be able to claim for free using a Fortnite Lobby Hack code.
But regardless, the Mega Buster weapon is a double-edged sword because it means opponents will also be able to obtain it easily. That said, don’t be disheartened, as this isn’t the only powerful weapon in the Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 4 loot pool.
While you’re on your way to find it, don’t forget about the new Fortnite Sprites, either. You can use them as well to shift the tide of combat in your favor. Now that you know how to find the Mega Buster in Fortnite, here’s how you can put it to use.
How to Use the Mega Buster in Fortnite
To use the Mega Buster in Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 4, you will first need to equip it in your inventory slot. When equipped, use your “Fire” button to fire an energy shot from the weapon. If you need to get a closer look at things, you can use the ADS button to aim tighter.
There’s also a special “Charge” attack which can be activated by holding down the “Fire” button and releasing once the Mega Buster is fully charged in Fortnite.
To top things off, much like the Tails Sprite in Fortnite, which can be used to move about, the Mega Buster allows you to dash-slide for a short distance. You can activate this while moving by using the “Crouch” button. And here comes the bad news.
Much like the Seven Sliders in Fortnite, the Mega Buster doesn’t have infinite charge, or in this case, ammo. It starts at 75 shots, and each shot uses one ammo. Moreover, the special charge attack from the Mega Buster consumes five ammo, which is absurd. Once the ammo is used up, the weapon becomes useless. If you want to make it last, use it sparingly.
