There is a new addition to the ever-changing arsenal of weapons inFortnite,the Grab-itron. Described as a “UFO in your hands," the unique weapon lets the user pick up an object and throw it at whoever, or whatever, they like. The bigger the object, the more damage the weapon will do. A held object can also act as a shield until it breaks.
The Grab-itron comes a week after theLegendary Plasma Cannonwas added. Defensive items like the Inflatable Bull were also brought toFortnitethis season. These updates are great for trying out new strategies, loadouts, and having fun with friends. Players wanting both an attack and defensive advantage should try out the Grab-itron as soon as they can. However, it is not available in competitive playlists.

Where to find the Grab-itron in Fortnite
There are a few possible locations that players can find the Grab-itron at, but some are more likely to spawn the alien weapon than others.
Chests
The Grab-itron can be found as random loot in chests all over the map, and the chances of receiving a Grab-itron will go up the more chests a player lands near to. With so many potential items that can be found in a chest, however, it would be better toland near an Abductorto begin the search.
Abductors
Abductors are the purple-grey circle icons found on the map that suck players up when they jump under them. Random loot is scattered about the top of the floating structure. While here, players can use analien Hologram Padto complete an Epic quest if they haven’t done so already.
Mothership
It can be a little time-consuming toget abducted by the Mothership inFortnite, but if a Grab-itron can’t be found on an Abductor, players may as well try to get on the Mothership anyway. A player needs to be in an area under an Abductor to get beamed up to the main ship.
When onboard, aFortnitemini-gamewill soon start that has players competing in a low-gravity area to collect Vault Orbs. Collect 5 for the best possible loot, and when the timer reaches Zero, players will be transported to an area filled with chests. Open as many as possible before the time runs out until a Grab-itron is found.
Best location to get the Grab-itron in Fortnite
A good strategy for finding the Grab-itron as soon as possible would be to land on an Abductor near a big loot area. Check the Abductor, and if no weapon is found, head to land and start searching as many chests as possible. While searching, players might get abducted by the Mothership, where they have the best chance of finding the Grab-itron.
Fortniteis available now on PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S.
