With the new quests and challenges in Chapter 6 of Fortnite, Season 3, players can once again access the iconic crossover character, Superman, and unlock his powers to dominate the island. His return comes as no surprise as Fortnite is ever famous for its crossovers and this time they went all out with the Man of Steel, giving him new styles and challenges to unlock. So for all the DC fans and new players looking to use one of the most well-known superheroes and get into some fights, this guide has all the information you need to become Superman in Fortnite this season.
There is always a lot to unlock with the quests, supers, and other details to explore, so don’t fret. If you are managing multiple Fortnite accounts, ensure you log into the one where you would like your Superman progression saved. This is important as cosmetics, XP, and battle pass rewards are tied to individual accounts.
Who Is Superman in Fortnite?
Superman is no stranger to Fortnite. He arrived in Chapter 2, Season 7 with the battle pass themed around aliens. Nonetheless, in Chapter 6, Season 3, he returns with new styles, emotes, and challenges, which make him more powerful and customizable than ever.
The theme this season revolves around chaotic elemental rifts with bits of the island consumed by different realms of power. As a beacon of justice, Superman comes in with unique powers and an overhauled design that meshes with the story of Chapter 6.
How To Unlock Superman in Chapter 6, Season 3
Superman is in the Bonus Rewards section of this season pass, so different from the battle pass skins, you will have to do a little more than just leveling up. So here’s the guide with the first steps.
1: Purchase the Battle Pass
First and foremost, make sure you own the Chapter 6, Season 3 Battle Pass. As with any season, he is not available for free, so make sure to spend those V-Bucks to unlock the premium tier.
- Completing matches
- Defeating enemies
- Visiting iconic locations
- Using exceptional items or emotes
Once you’ve made any progress on the Superman quests, you may begin working on unlocking his styles and cosmetics.
2: Complete Superman’s Hero Quests
Below, you may find the secondary quest for Superman, as well as the rewards you earn by completing it.
Quest 1: Talk to Multiversal Allies
Engage with three NPCs who belong to the Multiverse lore. They can be other DC characters, or original Fortnite heroes created in this season. Reward: Clark Kent Loading Screen
Quest 2: Complete 5 Multiversal Missions
Complete any five Battle Pass challenges related to the overarching Multiverse narrative. Reward: Superman’s Shield Back Bling
Quest 3: Eliminate 10 Opponents Using Energy Weapons
Energy weapons have returned in Chapter 6, Season 3. Use them to get eliminations. Reward: Superman Spray and Icon Emoticon
Quest 4: Glide Through Rings as Clark Kent
Find and glide through 5 floating rings while wearing the Clark Kent style. Reward: Superman Cape Glider
Quest 5: Use a Phone Booth to Suit Up
Locate one of the hidden phone booths around the Island and interact with it while wearing the Clark Kent skin. This will trigger the transformation animation into Superman. Reward: Superman Skin (Default Style)
3: Unlock Superman’s Alternate Styles
Once you’ve unlocked the base Superman skin, you can keep going and complete additional quests to unlock more styles and accessories. These include:
- Shadow Superman Style – A darker, more intimidating look.
- Fortnite Fusion Superman – A style that merges Superman with Fortnite’s Zero Point energy.
- Animated Emotes – Up, Up, and Away flying emote.
- Pickaxe & Wraps – Designed with Kryptonian glyphs.
These quests usually require more time and higher-tier Battle Pass completion, so expect to grind if you want to collect everything.
4: Use Superman’s Unique Abilities (Gameplay Tips)
While Superman doesn’t come with innate in-game superpowers like in the comics, Epic has introduced items and mechanics in Chapter 6, Season 3 that emulate his abilities:
1. The Kryptonian Gauntlets
These Mythic weapons are exclusive to Superman and can be picked up from special drop zones. They let you shoot energy blasts that deal splash damage and knockback.
2. Flight Zones
Certain parts of the map allow limited flight when wearing the Superman skin. Glide boost pads, vertical wind tunnels, and Rift Gates can give you a temporary flight-like experience.
3. Strength Boost (Limited-Time Mode)
In special LTM modes, Superman has increased melee damage and damage resistance, simulating his invulnerability.
If you’re queuing into these modes or using Superman in regular BR games, pair him with a high-mobility loadout (grapplers, shockwave grenades, or hoverboards) to wholly lean into the fantasy of being faster than a speeding bullet.
Where to Find the Superman NPC in Chapter 6, Season 3
There is a Superman NPC located at the Fortress of Solitude POI, a new landmark added this season. It’s hidden within an icy mountain near the northern edge of the map. Here, you can:
- Accept special Superman-themed quests
- Buy the Kryptonian Gauntlets (if not found through drops)
- Get lore-related dialogue and rewards
Talking to Superman also progresses some of the Multiversal storyline, giving fans a deeper connection to the character beyond just cosmetics.
Tips for Unlocking Superman Faster
If you want to get the Superman skin before your friends do, here are some pro tips to speed up the process:
- Grind Daily & Weekly Challenges – These give large amounts of XP and count toward Hero Quest progress.
- Play Team Rumble – Easier to complete eliminations and traversal challenges in this mode.
- Use XP Boosters – Activate Party Assist and play with friends to multiply your XP gain.
- Check Limited-Time Events – Events often offer Superman quest progress, especially during the mid-season updates.
What If You Missed the Original Superman Skin?
In Chapter 6, Season 3, you can now access a remastered version of Superman’s skin alongside fresh emotes and updated features. Unlike Chapter 2, Season 7, this update allows new and veteran players alike to experience the game entirely.
Players who have Superman’s older version will still keep legacy cosmetics like the original pickaxe and loading screens.
Final Thoughts
Superman in Fortnite is more of a skin. With the release of Chapter 6 Season 3, Superman’s seamless integration in the storyline allows players to experience age-appropriate game mechanics. Unlocking him is a key objective to complete with a new battlepass, providing new styles and gear.
Players can have the time of the season blasting energy beams, flexing on the victory screen, and jetpacking across the map, making the experience of becoming Superman enjoyable. So get ready, complete your missions, and let the island see what unfolds when a fierce warrior descends onto the battlefield.
