When the update was released, gamers found out that they could acquire some of their favorite characters asFortniteskins, and they would also be able to use Bender’s Shiny Metal Raygun to take down enemies in-game. This guide will show players how they can acquire this new weapon and how it works.
How to Get Bender’s Shiny Metal Raygun
Until v25.30 drops,Fortniteplayers can expect to findBender’s Shiny Metal Raygunin the Battle Royale mode since the game is teaming up withFuturama. Considering that updates usually drop on Tuesdays and v25.20 was released on July 26, the raygun should be around for two weeks total, meaningit should be available until August 8.
There are only two ways to obtain Bender’s Shiny Metal Raygun inFortnite:players can find it as floor loot or purchase it from Bender directly.
Since this is a Mythic rarity weapon and the game’s weapon pool is quite vast at the moment, gamers will most likely have a hard time obtaining it as floor loot. Thankfully, they can buy it from the cranky robot himself for 600 gold bars.Bender can be found near the docks, in thesouthern area of Mega City, just by the launch pad.
How Bender’s Shiny Metal Raygun Works
Bender’s Shiny Metal Raygun works very much like thenow-vaulted Kymera Raygun, but it’s slightly more powerful. To fire Bender’s Shiny Metal Raygun, gamers have to press and hold down the shoot button just for a few moments.It fires a beam, so it doesn’t require any sort of ammo; instead, it simply overheats if it’s fired for too long.
Since it shoots out in a continuous burst, it’s quite easy to take down an enemy player before they even realize it.Bender’s Shiny Metal Raygun can shoot for about five seconds straight while dealing a decent amount of damage, and it only takes around two seconds for it to cool down. Once it has cooled down, gamers can use it again without having to reload it.
Fortniteis available now on Mobile, PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
