Fortnite’s newest season has some wild weapons, but none stand out quite like the Rift Launcher. It’s not just a cool gadget it’s one of the strongest tools ever added to the game. It’s super rare, super fast, and has some sneaky tricks that make it deadly. But there’s one catch: only one player can get it each match.

So how do you find this powerful item? And what makes it so special? Let’s break it down in the simplest way possible.
What is the Rift Launcher?
The Rift Launcher is a special exotic weapon in Fortnite. It lets you teleport into the sky using a rift, giving you a huge movement advantage. You can fly out of danger, chase enemies, or jump straight into a fight. It even has some secret ways to eliminate opponents.
But here’s the twist it’s not lying around everywhere. You need to hunt it down.
Where to Find the Rift Launcher in Fortnite
To get the Rift Launcher, you need to visit the Black Market. That’s the place where all exotic weapons are stored in this season.
Before, you could always find it near Masked Meadows, but now, the location is random. Each match, the Rift Launcher can spawn at a different Black Market spot. That means you can’t just drop in the same place every time.
But here’s a step-by-step way to try and grab it first:
- Drop Near a Black Market
Use the bus route to land as close as possible. Learn where the entrances are—stairs or tunnels. - Head for the Back Rooms
That’s where you’ll find the Outlaw Chest. - Open the Chest Fast
If you’ve done the Outlaw Keycard quests, you’ll get a Dill Bit (the currency you need). If you’re lucky, the Rift Launcher will be there. - Didn’t Find It?
No worries. Try another Black Market. It’s a bit of a gamble now.
Why Is It So Hard to Get?
The Rift Launcher is so strong that everyone wants it. That means, right at the start of the match, you’ll likely have to fight off a bunch of players landing at the same spot.
- Sometimes you’ll find weapons on the way to help you.
- Sometimes, it’s just a pickaxe fight.
- Whoever opens the chest first has a better chance.
The best part? If you get the Rift Launcher, you can immediately escape using it. Even a few hits are worth it if you get away with the item.
How to Use the Rift Launcher (Like a Pro)
Got your hands on the Rift Launcher? Great. Now you’re the most mobile player on the map.
Here’s how to use it smartly:
- Escape danger: Use it to rift out when low on health.
- Third-party fights: Fly in from above and catch enemies off guard.
- Chase down players: Someone running away? Rift and glide after them.
- Offensive trick: Rift another player suddenly it throws them off.
- Deadly combo: Use it with the Mortal Kombat Mythic. Pull someone into a rift and let fall damage take care of the rest.
After each use, the Rift Launcher needs a few seconds to recharge. If you glide early, it recharges faster. So always think ahead and time your moves smartly.
