This loadout is still one of our favourites this season, so keep reading to learn the best strategies for dominating it. However, since the new update has gone live, we’ve crafted a brand-new updated Loadout as well. Be sure to check that out after this!
Why this loadout is so overpowered?
The loadout that we crafted became extremely powerful with the addition of the iron man combat kit. We will explain why and how to play strategically good with it!
Iron Man's Combat Kit
Information
- Item Grade: Mythic
- Repulsor Damage: 24
- Unibeam Damage: 90
It is one of the best mythic items that Fortnite has blessed us with in this season. It features an auto lock system at mid-range, allowing you to fire infinite energy blasts from the repulsors. In addition to that, you can also shoot a powerful Unibeam laser, piercing everyone and everything in its way. The cool down for Unibeam takes around 18 seconds to recharge but its worth the wait. In the meantime you can keep on shooting those unlimited energy blasts, giving 24 damage per hit.
Gatekeeper Shotgun
Information
- DPS: 129.2 - 156.4
- Damage: 76 - 92
- Reload Time: 2.25s
- Magazine Size: 3
Our favourit shotgun in this chapter which was introduced in season 2. We recommend it because it’s the most effective shotgun for close-range combat, outclassing others in both power and consistency.
Shuri's Black Panther Claws
Information
- Item Grade: Epic
- Damage: 35
- Structure Damage: 50
This melee weopon, introduced in the chapter 5 season 4, charges kinetic energy that boosts attacks effectiveness. The faster you run, the quicker the energy recharges. There are 2 types of attacks i-e the slash and the dash (or pounce) attack. Both deal 35 damage, but the dash allows you to quickly charge towards enemy from a distance. You can also use this technique for mobility when paired with the jet pack, which we will show you how to master it in the end.
FlowBerry Fizz
Information
- Item Grade: Rare
- Shield Heals: 100%
- Benefit: Low Grav (10s)
One of the top healing item that restores your and your teammate’s shield to 100% with one full bottle. Additionally, it grants a “Low Gravity” effect for 10 seconds, allowing for more agile movement during that time.
War Machine's Hover Jet
Information
- Item Grade: Epic
- Fuel: 100
- Max Stack: 1
The War Machine’s Hover Jet isn’t just about movement—it’s a game-changer in combat during this season. With its fuel auto-recharge feature, you’ll always have a way to reposition quickly or dodge incoming fire in the heat of battle.
How to play effectively with this Loadout?
Follow and practice these steps to master this loadout:
Step # 1 : Choose the Right Landing Spot
First, land in that location with a high chance of finding stark industries chests, such as Nitrodome and Grime Gate. These chests are likely to contain the iron man’s combat kit or flight kit. We’ve marked the exact locations where these chests frequently spawn.
Step # 2 : Warhammer’s Hover Jet vs. Iron man’s Flight Kit
Now some people will think that why we’ve chosen the War Machine’s Hover Jet over Iron Man’s Flight Kit in this loadout. So the simple reason is that you cannot use Iron Man’s repulsor (energy blast) with the flight kit. You can use only the Unibeam and it will take a lot of time to recharge. Another reason is that you have to switch to the flight kit to use it, while Hover Jet, on the other hand, can be used passively without switching, letting you use any weapon. So you can use the repulsor’s energy blast while dodging with a hover jet.
Step # 3 : Enhance Mobility with Shuri's Claws
With the shuri’s black panther claws, your mobility significantly increases when sprinting. You can also dash forward using these claws, which, combined with the jet pack, allows you to gain height while conserving fuel. From above, you can rain down destruction with Iron Man’s Repulsors. If enemies hide in a building or in their own crafted structure, you can use the Unibeam to destroy the structure and reveal their position. Now either finish them off from above using the repulsors or if they hid again in the remaining cover, drop down and finish them off with Shuri’s claws.
Step # 4 : Switch to Close-Range Combat
If the battle gets intense and the enemies get closer then switch to the gatekeeper shotgun for a quick finish. And then heal yourself and teammates with the flowBerry Fizz.
With the right combination of weapons, mobility, and strategy, this loadout is designed to dominate any match in this new season 4 update. The iron man combat kit is a must to keep in your loadout during this new season update. Master this recommended loadout, refine your playstyle, and you’ll be well on your way to securing victory after victory. We’ve also covered a specific best loadout for “No-Build” mode. Although it was created before this new update, it still remains our favorite and is still highly effective. Be sure to try it out!
