- Location: You’ll find Supernova Academy situated in the northern half of Fortnite’s map, specifically located above Brutal Boxcars and to the west of the First Order Base.
- Academy Stands: Supernova Academy is renowned for its secret tech labs, each containing a weapon stand where you can claim a piece of Supernova Gear.
- Hero Rank Requirement: Access to these tech labs is tied to your Hero Rank.
- At the default C-rank, only one lab will be accessible.
- More labs will open as you increase your Hero Rank by performing various in-game actions such as surviving storm circles, eliminating players, and defeating henchmen.
Alternative Acquisition Methods:
Beyond Supernova Academy, Supernova Gear can also be found through general looting:
- Chest Loot: Keep an eye out for them when opening chests.
- Floor Drops: They can occasionally be found as random floor loot.
- Player Eliminations: Eliminating other players who possess Supernova Gear is another way to acquire it.
Secondary Acquisition Method: Hero Caches
- If your Hero Rank is B or higher, you gain the ability to open Hero Caches located around the map.
- While opening Hero Caches might be a slower method compared to directly looting Academy Stands in Supernova Academy, it serves as an excellent alternative if you’re looking to try out different types of Supernova Gear or need a quick boost to complete a quest that requires specific damage output.
List of All Supernova Gear (Hero Items) in Fortnite Chapter 6, Season 3
The Supernova Gear currently available in Chapter 6, Season 3: Super offers a mix of offensive and utility items. Any new equipment exclusive to this season, such as the Myst Gauntlets, Bass Boost, or Tracking Visor, is viable for quests requiring Supernova Gear.

Utilizing Supernova Gear for Quests and Combat
Not all Supernova Gear is designed purely for dealing direct damage. While some are excellent for offense, others provide crucial utility:
- Myst Gauntlets: These are highly effective for dealing damage and can often be sufficient on their own to complete quests like «damage opponents within five seconds of using Supernova Gear.»
- Bass Boost: While its direct damage output is low, the Bass Boost offers valuable utility with its high jump ability and knockback effect. This can be leveraged to initiate powerful combos if you have other weapons to follow up with. However, relying solely on Bass Boost for damage-dealing quests might not be enough; you’ll likely need an additional weapon (most likely a gun) to inflict sufficient damage for quest completion.
By understanding where and how to acquire Supernova Gear, and by strategically utilizing each item’s unique strengths, you’ll be well-equipped to dominate the battlefield and complete all your heroic quests in Fortnite Chapter 6, Season 3: Super.
