Based on Greek Mythology, the Thunderbolt of Zeus and Wings of Icarus are new Mythics added in Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 2. Both items have their own unique properties and are extremely powerful. However, knowing how to use them effectively is as important as finding them. Now let’s take a look at how to use and where to find these two items brought to Fortnite by the Greek Gods.
How To Get Wings of Icarus Mythic in Fortnite
The best mobility item in Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 2 is clearly Wings of Icarus. While this item won’t give you the fast and quick escape from combat like Spider-Verse Web Shooters, Kinetic Blade, or ODM Gear, it’s sure to be one of the best items of this season.
Wings of Icarus has a total of 300 uses and is an item that shortens the path you will take a lot. In Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 2, you can find Wings of Icarus as ground loot and from chests. However, there is also a very high chance that you can get it from the Olympus Chests. This is because there is always a Mythic item in Olympus Chests.
How To Use Wings of Icarus in Fortnite
Wings of Icarus offers you two uses. The first is to glide calmly, allowing you to travel from one point of the map to another very quickly and effortlessly. The second use is aggressive offensive use. Wing of Icarus also allows you to damage your opponents and push them away.
To use Wings of Icarus on a PC, follow these steps:
- Press LMB (Left Mouse Button) to fly. This will launch you into the air.
- When you are in the air, you can use the Space key to Ascend.
- You can use Boost by pressing Left Shift or LMB.
- You can perform sudden Dodges with the Q and R keys.
- Finally, you can use RMB (Left Mouse Button) to attack and push your enemies. When you use this move, you perform a superhero landing, dealing damage to enemies in the area.
To use Wings of Icarus on the Controller, follow these steps:
- Use R1 to launch yourself into the air.
- You can use Boost with the R2 button.
- You can Ascend with the X key.
- The L1 and R1 buttons allow you to Dodge.
- Finally, with the L2 key, you can use the Dive Bomb ability, which is the ability to hit the ground quickly.
Pro Tip: When an enemy is shooting at you, don’t try to escape using Wings of Icarus unless there is cover in front of you. This is because this item is not as fast as many other mobility items. When you try to use it while someone is shooting at you, you will enter an animation for a few seconds, during which time your opponent can easily kill you.
How To Get Thunderbolt of Zeus Mythic in Fortnite
There are two ways to get the Thunderbolt of Zeus in Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 2. The first and easiest one is to open Olympus Chests. Either Wings of Icarus or Thunderbolt of Zeus will come out of these chests. The second and definitive option is to defeat the Zeus boss in Mount Olympus.
How To Use Thunderbolt of Zeus Fortnite
In Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 2, the Thunderbolt of Zeus Mythic is the perfect way to deal extra damage to your enemies and leave them helpless. Starting the fight with Thunderbolt of Zeus is a great option, especially if your enemy doesn’t see you yet and your opponent is in the open field.
This is because as soon as players get hit by the lightning bolt, they panic and start running around but have no means to retaliate. Thunderbolt of Zeus has a total of 3 uses, but you can shoot a total of 3 lightning bolts each time you use it.
To use Thunderbolt of Zeus, follow these steps:
- To use Thunderbolt of Zeus on a PC, press LMB and for the Controller use R1.
- Then your character will rise into the air, after which you can shoot 3 lightning bolts using your fire button.
Pro Tip: Avoid using the Thunderbolt of Zeus in Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 2 in indoor areas as much as possible (unless your goal is to destroy structures around you). Indoors, the bolt is easy to dodge. When throwing lightning bolts at enemies in an open area, make sure you throw the next one in the direction they’re fleeing.
