Updated on September 18 by Nathan Round:We have updated this guide with details on how to get War Machine’s weapons via the Stark Mobile Armory, which was added with the v31.20 update.
How To Get War Machine’s Arsenal
War Machine’s Arsenal is an item of Mythic rarity that can beobtained by capturing the Loot Island, opening Weapon Crates in Bunkers,andopening Avenger Chests.
The Loot Island will spawn at a random location once the third circle is revealed. Once players arrive at the island, they can capture it byheading to the Capture Point at the island’s centerand staying within its vicinity until the flag is fully raised. In addition to War Machine’s Arsenal, capturing the Loot Island also rewards players with Epic and Legendary items, heals, and more. However, only one team can capture the island each game, making it a highly contested POI.
For those looking to avoid the chaos on Loot Island, War Machine’s Arsenal can also befound in regular Chests, as well as Avenger’s Chests and Dr. Doom Chests— though obtaining it this way is purely down to luck.
Though all the previous methods offer players a chance to acquire War Machine’s Arsenal, there is also a guaranteed method. Players can acquire War Machine’s Arsenalby looting the War Machine Stark Mobile Armory, which will drop at one of six designated drop sites at different intervals during a match, and will be marked on the map when they appear. These drop sites can be found in the following locations:
To acquire War Machine’s Arsenalvia the Stark Mobile Armory, players simply need to head inside,locate a control panel, and interact with it. Doing so will bestow players with War Machine’s loadout: War Machine’s Arsenal, War Machine’s Auto Turret, and War Machine’s Hover Jets.
How To Use War Machine’s Arsenal
War Machine’s Arsenal features two attacks, each of which can be used to eliminate enemies with ease. These attacks includethe Arm Cannons and Rocket Salvo, both dishing out immense damage from afar. Here is a breakdown of the controls for War Machine’s Arsenal:
How To Get War Machine’s Auto Turret
Unlike War Machine’s Arsenal, War Machine’s Auto Turret is an Epic item that players can obtain randomly either as floor loot or via Chests.
The most surefire way to obtain War Machine’s Auto Turret is throughlooting Rare Chests or Dr. Doom and Avenger’s Chests, as each offers an increased chance of rewarding players with the item. This makesWeapon Bunkers a great place to lootto acquire it.
War Machine’s Auto Turret is also aguaranteed drop from the War Machine Stark Mobile Armoryand can be acquired with the rest of the War Machine weapons.
How To Use War Machine’s Auto Turret
Unlike many other items inFortnite, the War Machine’s Auto Turret has a mind of its own, requiring only that the player keeps it in their inventory to use it.
Once equipped, theAuto Turret will automatically lock onto and fire at nearby enemies, dishing out a consistent 5 damage per shot. This makes the item rather similar to the Business Turret from Chapter 4 Season 4, but with the added benefit of being attached to the player.
How To Get War Machine’s Hover Jets
Just like War Machine’s Auto Turret,War Machine’s Hover Jets can be found as floor loot or by searching Chests.Since it’s an Epic rarity item, the best way of finding it is bysearching Rare Chests, Dr. Doom Chests, and Avenger’s Chests, as each yields a higher chance of acquiring it.
Much like War Machine’s Arsenal and War Machine’s Auto Turret, War Machine’s Hover Jets are also a guaranteed item fromthe War Machine Stark Mobile Armory.
How To Use War Machine’s Hover Jets
War Machine’s Hover Jets are more of a mobility tool than a weapon, designed to help players navigate the map quickly.
Players can use the item without equipping it to their hands, allowing them to hover and fire their weapons simultaneously.To activate Hover mode, press the Jump button while in mid-air. Once in Hover mode,players can Boost, Ascend, and Cancel Hoveringas needed, provided they have enough fuel. If players find themselves running low on fuel, they should simply avoid using the Hover Jets to allow them to replenish.
