The Chains of Hades are now available in Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 2. Will they be stronger than the Thunderbolt of Zeus? We'll show you what the Chains of Hades can do and where you can get them.
Hades' Chain has been hyped since the beginning of Chapter 5 Season 2. Now, it's been introduced with patch v29.01. Just before the release, Epic Games made the weapon even stronger! We'll show you where to find Hades' powerful new weapon.
Fortnite: What The Chains Of Hades Can Do
The "Chains of Hades" is the second god weapon we've received in Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 2. The Chain attacks in a burst of three hits. The first two attacks deal 40 damage each and hit your opponents very quickly.
The third and final strike, will have a short delay before actually hitting. However, the third hit deals 70 damage if you manage to hit the opponent.

The Chains of Hades will also include a secondary attack. The Chain's head snaps forward suddenly, reminiscent of the Harpoon from Fortnite Chapter 2. With this Hookshot you can now pull oponents and items towards you. Depending on how much you charge up, you will have a stronger pull up to 40 meters, wich also does 40 damage.

Fortnite: How To Get The Chains Of Hades
As the Fortnite leaker FNAssist discovered, the item will be found on the ground, in chests, and in supply drops. Of course, you'll also receive the chain now when you defeat Hades at The Underworld.
However, there is no information yet about whether the item can be found in the new "God Chests". Additionally, the item is only to have an epic rarity instead of mythical.
The Chains of Hades could become a feared item and will probably be a serious rival to the Thunderbolt of Zeus. However, similar to Zeus' item, you'll be unprotected during the attack phase. The attack burst is expected to be non-cancellable.
But for now, we wish you lots of fun with the new item and the new Fortnite Patch!
