How to get Magneto from the X-Men in Fortnite and when he will be available
We tell you how to get Magneto from the X-Men in Fortnite and the day you can get him by completing his quests.
Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 3 is here, and as part of the usual new features, we have lots of new outfits. The most striking of the new Battle Pass is certainly Magneto from Marvel’s X-Men, who arrives in Epic Games’ battle royale with a new outfit called Wastelander Magneto. On this page of our complete guide to the game, we tell you how to get Magneto and when he will be available:
When will Magneto from the X-Men be available in Fortnite and how can I get his outfit?
The Wastelander Magneto outfit is exclusive to the Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 3 Battle Pass. Therefore, the first step is to get the Battle Pass for this season, which costs 950 V-Bucks (about $9.99). Another option is to subscribe to the Fortnite Club ($11.99 per month), as this service includes the Battle Pass for the current season.
After that, we will have to wait until Tuesday, July 2, 2024, when the Wastelander Magneto quests will be available in Fortnite. This means that we will not get Wastelander Magneto automatically, but we will get both his outfit and accessories by completing the yet-to-be-revealed quests that will be coming soon. We will be updating this guide in detail so that you know what to do when the time comes.
The fact that it is called “Wastelander” suggests that a standard Magneto variant is likely to appear in the future, as has happened with other Marvel outfits such as Wolverine. This “Wastelander Magneto” has somehow arrived on the Fortnite island, which has now been taken over by hordes of thugs and savages from a post-apocalyptic Mad Max-style world.
It also looks like it will be coming as part of a mini-event where we will be able to use a Mythic weapon to mimic the use of its magnetic powers, allowing us to use metal as a shield to avoid damage and also throw it as a damaging projectile.
The Wastelander Magneto is an outfit that is not just obtained, but we have to complete its quests to get it. This is something quite common with the secret outfits of each Fortnite season. For example, in the previous season, we had to complete Korra’s quests to get this outfit from Avatar: The Legend of Korra. And before that, you had to do the same to get Solid Snake from the Metal Gear franchise.
The fact that Epic Games decided to add Magneto from the X-Men at this time is probably related to the premiere date of the first season of ‘X-Men 97′ on Disney+, as the dates almost coincide. This animated series has been a success for Marvel, and its last episode aired on May 16th, so we are convinced that the Magneto collaboration has the premiere of this series as its reason.
