How to find Storm Beast Pom Poms in Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 3
Image via Epic Games Fortnite's ever-evolving arsenal has just welcomed a flashy new addition: the Storm Beast Pom Poms. Introduced with Chapter 6 Season 3's latest update, these mythic items allow players to transform into the powerful Storm Beast - a form packed with explosive melee attacks and enhanced mobility. The Storm Beast Pom Poms are already making waves in casual lobbies, but their sudden removal from ranked play has sparked discussion in the community. What are the Storm Beast Pom Poms? A part of the hero-themed Supernova Academy update, the Storm Beast Pom Poms are a Hero Item of Epic rarity. They enable players to transform into a beastly avatar with its own health bar and powerful melee attacks. Once transformed, players lose access to their weapons but gain three unique abilities: Melee Swipes: Consecutive attacks increase in power. Storm Slam: A powerful ground slam that can be charged for greater impact. Super Jump: An enhanced leap for better mobility or evasive action. Once the Storm Beast's special health bar is depleted or the transformation is cancelled manually, the Pom Poms enter a cooldown and slowly lose durability. How to get the Pom Poms Players can obtain the Storm Beast Pom Poms through several methods. While floor loot and standard chests might yield them, the best chances lie in Academy Tech Labs, B-rank (or higher) Hero Loot Caches, and Rare Chests. Alternatively, players can purchase them from the NPC Haylee Skye near Pumped Power for 400 Gold Bars. Their introduction also ties into a weekly quest, which tasks players with eliminating five opponents as the Storm Beast - a challenge that's pushed demand for the item even higher. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Memperdagangkan CFD Emas dengan salah satu spread terendah? IC Markets Mendaftar Undo Storm Beast's strength raises fair play concerns Despite the excitement, Epic Games made the decision to remove the Pom Poms from ranked playlists shortly after release. The transformation's strength, including mobility boosts and heavy melee power - likely posed balancing issues for competitive players. As of now, the item remains exclusive to unranked modes, where its impact is already reshaping the meta. This isn't the first time Fortnite has temporarily pulled mythic items from ranked to address balance issues. A similar fate befell the Krypto Treats earlier in the season. For now, casual players can enjoy the chaotic fun of turning into a Storm Beast, while ranked players will have to wait and see if a rebalanced version makes its way back into competitive matches. With Fortnite leaning heavily into its superhero theme this season, items like the Storm Beast Pom Poms prove that the game is still pushing boundaries - even if not every addition sticks the landing.
