The Fortnite x Futurama crossover has arrived in-game, and players can take full advantage by using Bender’s trusty Raygun to eliminate enemies. Here’s how to get Bender’s Shiny Metal Raygun in Fortnite.

Fortnite has become well-known for its crossovers, and Chapter 4 Season 3 alone has brought plenty of iconic characters to the island. Optimus Prime arrived in the Battle Pass, while Ciri and Yennefer dropped later as bundles.

The 25.20 update introduced a Futurama collaboration, adding Bender, Fry, and Leela to the game. Fans of the cartoon can also pick up Bender’s Shiny Metal Raygun, a powerful new weapon that can lay waste to enemy teams.

So, here’s how to get Bender’s Shiny Metal Raygun in Fortnite.

Where to find Bender’s Shiny Metal Raygun in Fortnite

Bender’s Shiny Metal Raygun can be found as regular ground loot in Fortnite, meaning players can get hold of it by finding it lying around or by opening Chests. We recommend landing at a major POI full of Chets to improve your chances.

Alternatively, the only to guarantee Bender’s Shiny Metal Raygun is by purchasing it from the robot himself. Following the 25.20 update, Bender is roaming the map as an NPC, and players can buy his signature weapon using Gold Bars.

It isn’t clear at the time of writing if Bender spawns in set locations around the map or will randomly appear in different spots from match to match. We’ll be sure to update this page as soon as we know more.

Bender’s Shiny Metal Raygun comes with an “infinite supply of plasma,” meaning players won’t have to worry about ammo while wielding the weapon. However, it does work on a cooldown and can overheat if fired too much in one spell.

Don’t be surprised to see Bender’s Shiny Metal Raygun dominating matches for the next couple of weeks, before it is vaulted in the 25.30 update, which is expected to arrive around Tuesday, August 8, 2023.
