Fortnite's v18.30 update brings the Icy Grappler, a game-changing Exotic weapon that lets players swing across the map and glide into battle. Launched alongside another new weapon after Season 8's kickoff, this grappling hook elevates mobility like never before.

From Epic Games' blockbuster battle royale, Fortnite commands one of the world's largest player communities. The v18.30 patch amps up the action with war-themed changes, introducing two fresh weapons as detailed in the official blog—the Icy Grappler included.
This Exotic tool supercharges traversal, enabling superhero-style swings without dealing damage. Landings get tricky, though: your feet encase in ice, turning movement slippery. Time it right, and full-speed slides become a tactical edge.
Scoop it up from NPC Fabio Sparklemane for 300 Gold Bars at the Apres Ski hut—top of the mountain southwest of Misty Meadows. Head to the cabin, interact, select the Icy Grappler, and buy.
Use it to cross the map or claim high ground, but master the icy slip for peak performance.
