Fortnite players are quick to adjust to the latest season\u2019s loot pool. Within a few days of Chapter 5, Season 2\u2019s launch, some players have already found different strategies to get the upper hand and secure a Victory Royale. One of those strategies involves trapping enemies in a weapon bunker using a car and then obliterating them with the Thunderbolt of Zeus, which looks pretty ruthless in action. And as it turns out, this newly added Mythic weapon can be even more useful and powerful when used with the right item. As you can see, Thunderbolt of Zeus\u2019 key weakness is locking you in a certain animation for a few seconds when using it. This makes it challenging to use out in the open when potential snipers are around, as they can just tap you in the head. However, combining with Cerberus\u2019 medallion allows you to dash into the sky as you zap enemies on the ground. This strategy was showcased in a TikTok clip where a player managed to outplay the enemy by dodging their shots in the sky and hurling lightning bolts at them. They explained, \u201cYou aren\u2019t just a sitting duck when you use the Zeus bolts; if you have Cerberus\u2019 medallion, you are a literal God in the sky.\u201d When discussing the viability of Thunderbolt of Zeus in a Reddit thread, some players argued that this strategy is the sole reason that it\u2019s \u201cbusted.\u201d \u201cThat thing is busted with it. I had someone keep dodging all of my shots after they started using it. I may hit them for a 100 too,\u201d one person wrote. For the uninitiated, the Cerberus medallion in Fortnite gives you the Underworld river buff, regardless of where you are on the map. You get three charges that recharge after a few seconds, allowing you to zip around the map quickly \u2014 similar to how Tracer\u2019s blink works in Overwatch. The \u2018blinks\u2019 also work when you\u2019re holding the Thunderbolt of Zeus in the sky. The only tradeoff for this strategy is that you\u2019ll be exposing your location to other players since you\u2019re holding a medallion, though it generally shouldn\u2019t matter as long as you can hit your shots.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This Fortnite Thunderbolt of Zeus trick turns you into a \u201cliteral God\u201d FortniteThanks to this trick, players won\u2019t have to be a \u201csitting duck\u201d when using the Thunderbolt of Zeus in Fortnite Chapter 5, Season 2.
