War Machine’s Arsenal is a Mythic item you can primarily find by opening Avenger’s chests or rare chests. It can technically be found in any chest you come across, but the odds of it spawning in any type of chest outside of these two are super low, which means your best bet is to seek out one of these two to find it.

While some Mythic items like Doctor Doom’s Arcane Gauntlets can only be acquired by one player in each match, War Machine’s Arsenal can be looted by any player at any point. This means there’s a good chance that lots of players will be running around the lobby with this item.

When searching for War Machine’s Arsenal, it’s a good idea to also try to grab his other weaponry to pair with it. Obtaining all three for the first time lets you complete the collect War Machine’s Arsenal, War Machine’s Auto-turret, and War Machine’s Hover Jets quest.

How to use War Machine’s Arsenal in Fortnite

War Machine’s Arsenal has two functions by itself that you can use to deal damage against opponents. These functions are:

  • Arm Cannons is the basic attack function on this weapon and allows you to fire simple shots at enemies. It’s essentially like a very quick gun and requires you to collect light bullets to use as ammo.
  • Rocket Salvo is the more powerful move on this weapon and fires mighty rockets that deal heavy damage against your opponents. You only have eight rockets available to use at a time before you have to wait for it to recharge.

The exact controls you need to use both options vary by platform, but when you have War Machine’s Arsenal equipped, the controls are always displayed to make using it easier. You can find the controls for your platform near the left edge of the screen, slightly above your health bar.

Now that you know how to use this powerful weapon, you can get to work completing the destroy objects or damage opponents with War Machine’s Arsenal quest. And once you’re done with that, you might consider working on some story quests to earn XP, like eliminating opponents from over 30 meters and collecting a control chip by hitting a headshot on Doom’s henchmen.
