If there’s anything absolutely unique about Fortnite Season 2 Chapter 8, it is the fact that it presents players with a tremendous assortment of weapons. Each new patch and update have come with an exciting weapon to boost players’ arsenal and this time around, the legendary grapplers return with the Fortnite 18.30 Patch.

This weapon features a suction cup that players can use to fling themselves across different points on the map. This version, unlike the previous ones, is an Icy Grappler with a slight twist from the former ones. In recent times, Epic Games have gradually added new content every week. New weapons have been made available in different chests, and new characters have sprouted up all around the map.

Players voted for the Icy Grappler

Players have been allowed to vote for the addition of different items, and according to the result of the votes, new items and gaming elements have been added to the game during each weekly update. Consequent to this, the Icy Grapplers has now been added to the game based on popular demand.

What’s so Awesome about the Icy Grapplers?

The Icy Grapplers are special battlefield items designed to help you escape dangerous situations, flee from the battlefield when you sense that you’re about to get “cooked,” or to catch up with a fleeing enemy. Grapplers aren’t new to Fortnite. They’ve been around for a while before they were removed from the game.

This time around, they’ve returned with a little twist- an icy effect. This new feature makes the Grapplers more fun and adventurous, and even adds a little more mobility when you land on a smooth or sliding surface.

How to use the Icy Grappler?

Just like the old kinds of grapplers, this exotic weapon helps players to transverse the map, flinging themselves swiftly to different locations. It is a mixture of both the classic Grappler and a Freeze Trap. Just like Peter Parker’s web sling, you will have to shoot the Icy Grappler to a specific spot, it will fling you right there.

And once you land, a mass of ice will encase your legs and cause you to slide for a few seconds before it comes to a halt. With this added effect, players will find it difficult to stop on a dime, but it would, however, be useful if you’re trying to escape from an enemy or close a ring.

How to get the Icy Grappler

The new Icy Grapplers are available for purchase from Fabio Sparklemane for 400 gold bars. Fabio Sparklemane is located at the Apres Ski resort at the southwestern plane of Misty Meadows, just around the disco dance floor. All you have to do is hand over the gold bars and the Icy Grappler is yours. At the moment, players cannot use the Grapplers for competitive play– probably due to the unfair advantage it confers on players. Hence, you can only use the Icy Grappler for standard playlists.
