With the Greek Pantheon making their appearance inFortnite, it only makes sense that they would bring some impressive weapons with them. One of which is the Chains of Hades, which works as a grappling hook that can pull in enemies before you defeat them with some up-close strikes.
The item was added alongside the return of Midas, so if you played at the start of the season, you haven’t had a chance to use the item yet. Thankfully, you can find the item in different places across the island, ensuring you can get closer to your enemies when the need arises.
How To Get The Chains Of Hades
As with the Zeus mythic added at the start of this season,you may find the Chains of Hades in the golden Greek-themed cheststhat can be found around the new POIs likeThe Underworld,Grim Gate,Mount Olympus, andBrawler’s Battlegrounds.
It can also be found as chest and floor loot, butthese chests have a much higher chanceof spawning the seasonal items.
You can alsoget the Chains of Hades weapon if you’re able to defeat Hadesafter summoning him to The Underworld. You’ll need to topple his statue, defeat his minions, and thendefeat the boss himselfto earn his Aspect of the Gods andthe Chains of Hades.
If you need a guaranteed spawn quickly, thentaking on Hades is likely your best opportunity. However,searching for enough golden chestscan also eventually give the item.
How To Use The Chains Of Hades
The Chains of Hades is one of the better weapons in Fortnite, working as a decent projectile and a melee weapon against enemies and structures alike. To use it, you can eitherattack using it as a melee weapon with the standard ‘Fire’ buttonorprepare it for a throw with the ‘Aim’ button.
Unlike other items added this season, the Chains of Hades haveno other limitations besides the swinginganimations. To counter it, you’ll need to be able tokeep your range and dodge itwhen thrown.
It can work as agreat counter to the Wings of IcarusandThunderbolts of Zeusthat lift the enemy high into the air.
Once thrown with the ‘Fire’ button, it can beused to pull in enemy players from a considerable distance. This canwork great if your enemy has the high groundor isstanding on structuresthat you need to get rid of quickly.
