The Batman Grapnel Gun is back in Fortnite for Chapter 7 Season 3, riding in with the DC Hot Bat Summer event. It’s a Mythic mobility item that yanks you toward a target and pops open the Bat Cape so you can glide the rest of the way down. Getting one comes down to two paths, and one of them is close to guaranteed if you have the Gold Bars.
Quick answer: Buy the Batman Grapnel Gun from the Beach Bod Batman NPC for 2,000 Gold Bars on the island north of Golden Grove, or search Chests and Rare Chests to find one as loot.
Buy it from Beach Bod Batman for 2,000 Gold Bars
The fastest, most reliable way to secure the Grapnel Gun is to buy it. The Beach Bod Batman NPC sells it outright for 2,000 Gold Bars, so there’s no luck involved once you can afford it.
You’ll find Beach Bod Batman on the small island to the north of the Golden Grove POI. Land there, walk up to him, and pick the Grapnel Gun from his stock. The only real hurdle is grinding out enough Gold Bars, which usually means opening chests, eliminating opponents, and completing bounties earlier in the match.
Find it in Chests and Rare Chests
The Batman Grapnel Gun also spawns as floor loot inside Chests and Rare Chests across the Chapter 7 Season 3 map. Because it’s a Mythic, the drop rate is low, so don’t expect one from the first chest you crack open.
To improve your odds, drop into POIs marked with blue names during a match. Those locations tend to spawn more Rare Chests, and Rare Chests are where higher-tier loot like the Grapnel Gun is most likely to appear.
| Method | Cost or condition | Reliability |
|---|---|---|
| Beach Bod Batman NPC | 2,000 Gold Bars | Guaranteed once you can pay |
| Rare Chests (blue-name POIs) | Search and open | Higher chance than normal Chests |
| Standard Chests | Search and open | Low, RNG-based |
How to use the Batman Grapnel Gun
The Grapnel Gun works much like the standard Grappler. It fires a line at a surface, reels you toward it, and then automatically deploys the Bat Cape so you drift safely to the ground. It’s built for fast traversal and for grabbing the high ground in a fight.
Charges and limits to know
The Grapnel Gun does not come with unlimited use. You get 27 shots before it runs dry and vanishes from your inventory, so there’s no way to refill it once the charges are gone.
Because of that limit, save the tool for moments that matter, like closing distance on the zone or rushing an opponent for the high ground. If you burn through it early on casual rotations, you’ll be stuck without it when a fight breaks out. With Gotham City’s summer takeover in full swing, the Grapnel Gun is one of the cleaner ways to move around the island in the Dark Knight’s style.
