The Grab-itron comes a week after the Legendary Plasma Cannon was added. Defensive items like the Inflatable Bull were also brought to Fortnite this 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 to land near an Abductor to 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 an alien Hologram Pad to complete an Epic quest if they haven’t done so already.

Mothership

It can be a little time-consuming to get abducted by the Mothership in Fortnite, 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, a Fortnite mini-game will 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.

Fortnite is available now on PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S.
