Spider-Man Web Shooters are back in Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 3 after three years away, returning with the v41.30 update alongside the Spider-Man: Brand New Day collaboration. The Mythic mobility item that defined Chapter 3 is once again scattered across the island, letting you swing between buildings, escape fights, and cross the map faster than almost anything else in the game.
Here is exactly how to get them, how they work, and the event where you can use them without limits.
Where to Get Spider-Man Web Shooters
There are two ways to get Spider-Man Web Shooters in Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 3. One is a random find while looting, and the other is a guaranteed purchase if you have the Gold Bars. Both put the same Mythic item in your hands, so use whichever fits your drop spot and playstyle.
The random route is finding Spider-Man’s Backpacks webbed up around the map. The guaranteed route is buying the Web Shooters directly from the Spider-Man NPC. Here is how each works.
Method 1: Spider-Man Backpacks
Spider-Man’s Backpacks are the main way to find the Web Shooters as you play a match. They are a nod to how Peter Parker stashes his suit in the Marvel universe, and they are tucked into hard-to-reach spots across the island.
- Drop into a match and look for Spider-Man’s Backpacks webbed onto walls, cliffs, and other high-up surfaces around the map
- Watch for the cobwebs marking their location. Backpacks are usually surrounded by webbing, which makes them easier to spot from a distance
- If a backpack is out of reach, jump on the nearby cobwebs to bounce up and close the gap
- Walk up to the backpack and interact with it to claim the Web Shooters
- The Web Shooters equip as an inventory item, ready to use immediately
Backpacks spawn at random locations across the island rather than fixed points, and each has a high chance of containing the Web Shooters. Because the spawns are random, checking several webbed spots in a match improves your odds of finding one.
Method 2: Buy From the Spider-Man NPC
If you would rather not rely on random backpack spawns, there is a guaranteed source. The Spider-Man NPC sells the Web Shooters directly for Gold Bars.
- Head to The Battlewoods POI, where the Spider-Man NPC spawns reliably every match
- Make sure you have at least 2,000 Gold Bars, the cost of the Web Shooters
- Approach the Spider-Man NPC and open their service menu
- Purchase the Spider-Man Web Shooters for 2,000 Gold Bars
- The Web Shooters are added straight to your inventory
This is the more dependable method if you have banked enough Gold Bars, since the NPC is a guaranteed spawn while backpacks are not. It is also the faster route if you land near The Battlewoods, letting you gear up for mobility right away rather than hunting webbed spots.
How Spider-Man Web Shooters Work
Once equipped, the Web Shooters let you swing through the air by firing a web at a surface and swinging toward it. When the web breaks off the surface, your character launches into the air, and you can immediately fire another web at the next surface to keep your momentum going.
A few details make them as strong as their reputation:
You take no fall damage while using the Web Shooters, so you can drop from any height safely as long as you are swinging. When you come close to the ground, your character runs along it to keep momentum rather than stopping dead. And beyond mobility, the Web Shooters can pull in items from a distance, working a little like a Harpoon Gun for grabbing loot.
The practical upshot is the fastest, most flexible traversal in the game. Aim for tall buildings, cliffs, and high objects to get the most distance out of each swing, and chain swings together to cross huge sections of the map in seconds. They are equally strong for rushing a fight and for escaping one.
Uses, Ammo, and Where You Can Use Them
For this Spider-Man: Brand New Day return, the Web Shooters come with infinite ammo. Because they are a Mythic item, you can keep swinging for the entire match without the Web Shooters running out, so there is no use counter to manage. (When the item first launched back in Chapter 3, it shipped with a capped number of uses, but the current version lets you swing freely.)
One restriction is worth knowing before you go looking for them: the Web Shooters are only available in unranked Battle Royale playlists. They do not appear in Ranked, so competitive players will not run into swinging opponents in ranked matches, and you will not be able to use them there yourself.
Even with infinite ammo, there is a natural rhythm to swinging. Short, controlled swings let you chain movement smoothly, while committing to one huge long-distance swing leaves you more exposed mid-air. Aim for tall buildings, cliffs, and high objects to get the most distance out of each swing.
Unlimited Web Shooters Power Hour
If 80 uses does not sound like enough, Epic has a treat lined up. A dedicated Web Shooters Power Hour event on August 1, 2026 gives players unlimited Web Shooters for a limited time, letting you swing around the map without worrying about uses running out.
Power Hours are short windows, typically a couple of hours, so check the in-game news tab for the exact timing on the day. If you want to experience the Web Shooters at their most fun, with no cap on how much you swing, that event is the time to jump in. It is also the best window to complete any Spider-Man collaboration challenges that involve using the Web Shooters, since you will never run dry mid-quest.
Unlimited Web Shooters Power Hour
Epic is also running a dedicated Web Shooters Power Hour event on August 1, 2026, built entirely around the swinging item. During the event, Web Shooters are dialed up for a limited window so the whole lobby is swinging around the map at once, turning it into a pure mobility playground.
Power Hours are short windows, typically a couple of hours, so check the in-game news tab for the exact timing on the day. It is the most fun time to jump in if you want a match built around the Web Shooters rather than just carrying a set into a normal game, and it is a great window to knock out any Spider-Man collaboration challenges that involve swinging.
