Hades is getting his Mythic! We're all aware of the Greek Mythology theme in Fortnite, which really made Chapter 5 Season 2 stand out. In this update, we'll get the weapon that belongs to the God of the Underworld.

The Chains of Hades are a very dangerous melee weapon, fused with the power of the Underworld. A long-ranged hookshot will allow you to do some damage at a greater distance. You can "rip" enemies into range and finish them off with a combo.

Chains of Hades immediately got a hotfix after the release, making it stronger:

  • Hit 1 damage: - 35 ➥ 40
  • Hit 2 damage: - 35 ➥ 40
  • Hit 3 damage: - 60 ➥ 70
