Fortnite has been foremost when it comes to introducing new and engaging content for the players. Although the current season in the game was off to a rocky start, the devs at Epic Games were able to bring things back to speed with the 16.10 update patch. This one introduced some major tweaks in the gameplay that the community has been asking for quite a while now. This is one of the things that has ensured that the game still has a loyal fanbase, although Fortnite is one of the oldest titles of its kind.
Epic Games has managed to keep the game relevant by bringing fans from various pop-culture fandoms under the umbrella of Fortnite. Recently, the game roped in the iconic video game character Lara Croft as an NPC. As you may already know, every NPC comes to the game accompanied by a Mythical weapon. In this case, it is the Mythical Grappler Bow.
This weapon has turned heads in the community with the power it wields. Now that we have piqued your interest in this weapon, here is a complete guide to the Grappler Bow in Fortnite.

The all-new Grappler Bow might just break Fortnite, so try it out before devs nerf it!
Like we already mentioned, the Grappler Bow can only be found in the inventory of Lara Croft. Now, the Lara Croft NPC lives at the Stealthy Stronghold. You can trade this weapon from her for 500 Gold Bars. However, this does not indefinitely grant you this weapon. If you want it, you will have to buy it from her again in the next match.
Now, why are people calling this weapon broken? The reason is that this bow deals a count of 89 damage or hit. However, it only takes a second to reload. This damage to reload speed ratio makes this one of the deadliest weapons in the game right now.

But the more interesting power lies in the “Grappler” portion of its abilities. Once an arrow from this bow hits a target, it will pull you towards it, like a grappling gun. So, you can use it to easily scale buildings, builds, and more!
From the looks of it, it will soon become the gameplay meta. If you want to enjoy its glory days, try it out now, before devs attempt to nerf it!
