Fortnite’s v41.30 update landed on July 30, 2026, with servers going down around 4 AM ET for maintenance and the island back online roughly two hours later. Tucked inside that patch is the Spider-Man: Brand New Day collaboration, and with it, the long-requested return of Spider-Man’s Web Shooters, one of the most popular Mythic items the game has ever added.
The timing isn’t a coincidence. Epic is tying the crossover to the theatrical release of Spider-Man: Brand New Day, and alongside new Outfits for Spider-Man and The Punisher, the Web Shooters are back in the loot pool on Chapter 7 Season 3’s map. Given how quickly the item vanished after its Chapter 3 Season 1 debut, players have been asking for its return for years, and the current rollout suggests it isn’t going anywhere for a while.
Below, you’ll find exactly where to find the Web Shooters right now, how the swinging mechanic actually works, and what changes once the dedicated Power Hour event kicks in on August 1.
What Are Spider-Man’s Web Shooters in Fortnite?
Spider-Man’s Web Shooters are a Mythic mobility item that lets players fire webs at nearby objects and swing across the map much like Spider-Man in Insomniac’s PlayStation games.
After attaching a web to a solid surface, you’re pulled forward while maintaining momentum, allowing you to travel long distances quickly and chain together multiple swings.
The Web Shooters first debuted during Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 1 in 2021 before being removed from the loot pool once the season ended.
Since then, Epic has occasionally brought them back during Spider-Man-themed events, but the Brand New Day collaboration is their most significant return since the original release.
Unlike many Mythic items that only drop from specific bosses or NPCs, Spider-Man’s Web Shooters currently appear as:
- Floor loot
- Loot found inside Spider-Man Chests
That makes them considerably more accessible, allowing players to experience the collaboration without having to defeat a powerful boss first.
How to Get Spider-Man’s Web Shooters
- Drop into any match on the current Chapter 7 Season 3 map and loot normally. Web Shooters spawn as regular floor loot alongside weapons and materials, so there’s no special drop location to memorize.
- Prioritize opening Spider-Man chests. These are visually distinct from standard chests and have a noticeably higher chance of containing the item during the collab window.
- Check named locations and POIs first. High-loot-density areas tend to spawn more chests overall, which indirectly improves your odds of a Web Shooters pull.
- If you strike out in a match, don’t force it. The item is currently in general rotation, meaning it’ll show up again in your next drop rather than being a one-time event reward.
Because the Web Shooters are floor loot rather than a quest reward, there’s no XP grind standing between you and a pair. That’s a break from how Epic has handled most other Chapter 7 Season 3 unlockables, where locations and golden fishing spots often gate the best loot behind extra steps.
Web-Shooter Power Hour: Unlimited Swinging on August 1
Epic has also scheduled a dedicated Web-Shooter Power Hour for August 1, 2026, with sessions expected around 2 PM ET and 9 PM ET (unconfirmed by Epic, so treat as an estimate). During these windows, Web Shooters carry unlimited charges, more Spider-Man chests spawn across the map, and Cube Sprite spawn rates get a bump as a secondary bonus tied to the same event window.
This mirrors how Epic has run other themed Power Hours this season, similar to the Sprite Power Hour schedule that’s been rotating through Chapter 7 Season 3. If you’ve wanted to test the Web Shooters without worrying about running dry mid-swing, this is the session to log in for.
How to Use Spider-Man’s Web Shooters
Using the Web Shooters is simple, but mastering them takes practice.
After equipping the Mythic item, you’ll notice a four-segment targeting reticle appear on your screen.
Aim at any solid object, including:
- Buildings
- Trees
- Cliffs
- Vehicles
- Large environmental objects
Fire the web, and your character will immediately latch onto the target before swinging forward with momentum.
The key to covering long distances is chaining multiple swings together.
As you approach the end of one swing, fire another web toward the next object to maintain your speed and continue moving across the map with minimal interruption.
Once you land on the ground, the Web Shooters automatically begin recharging.
A full recharge typically takes around five seconds, allowing you to quickly return to swinging.
Historically, Epic has released two versions of the item:
- A version with unlimited charges
- A limited version with approximately 80 uses
So don’t assume every pair you pick up behaves exactly the same.
One of the biggest advantages of Spider-Man’s Web Shooters is that they prevent fall damage after swinging.
That makes them far more than a fun traversal tool—they’re incredibly effective for escaping fights, rotating into safe zones, avoiding third parties, and quickly repositioning during the final storm circles.
Will Spider-Man’s Web Shooters Stay After the Brand New Day Collaboration?
At the moment, Epic hasn’t announced when Spider-Man’s Web Shooters will leave the game.
However, several Fortnite dataminers believe the Mythic item will remain available throughout Chapter 7 Season 3 rather than disappearing immediately after the Brand New Day movie promotion ends.
It’s worth stressing that this remains community speculation.
Epic has yet to confirm an official vault date, so players should enjoy the Web Shooters while they’re available rather than assuming they’ll stick around indefinitely.
Given how popular the item has been since its original debut, there’s certainly a possibility Epic keeps it in the loot pool longer than previous Spider-Man collaborations.
Wrapping Up
Spider-Man’s Web Shooters have returned in one of the most player-friendly ways possible.
Instead of hiding them behind difficult boss fights or lengthy questlines, Epic has made the Mythic item available through regular floor loot and themed Spider-Man Chests, allowing virtually everyone to experience one of Fortnite’s most iconic mobility tools.
Whether the Web Shooters remain in Chapter 7 Season 3 after the Brand New Day collaboration ends is still unknown. But for now, they’re easier to find than ever, making this the perfect time to jump back into Fortnite and start swinging across the island.
Spider-Man’s Web Shooters are a Mythic mobility item that lets players swing across the map by attaching webs to nearby objects. They originally debuted in Chapter 3 Season 1 and returned with the Spider-Man: Brand New Day collaboration in Chapter 7 Season 3.
Historically, Fortnite has featured both unlimited-charge and limited-charge versions of the Web Shooters, with the latter offering roughly 80 uses. During the expected August 1 Web-Shooter Power Hour, all Web Shooters are expected to have unlimited charges.
Yes. As of July 30, 2026, Spider-Man’s Web Shooters can be found as floor loot and inside Spider-Man Chests throughout the Chapter 7 Season 3 map.
Yes. Landing after a web swing doesn’t cause fall damage, making the item extremely useful for fast rotations and escaping dangerous situations.
