The Grapple Glove was a big deal back in Chapter 4, as it was one of the best mobility items, alongside the ODM Gear and the Spider-verse Web-Shooters. Some gamers thought they would have more time with it, but it ended up being vaulted. On top of this, when Chapter 4 Season 4 came to an end, Epic Games brought back the OGFortnitemap as well as tons of Chapter 1 items and mechanics, so players didn’t expect to see it anytime soon. However, that was not the case.

The Grapple Glove is back inFortnitefor Season OG, but it is quite difficult to acquire. This guide will explain why this item has returned and how gamers can get their hands on it.

How to Get the Grapple Glove

The Grapple Glove is an extremely difficult item to find inFortniteSeason OG, as it can only be obtained through a random rift encounter.

In previous seasons, there were several NPCs on theFortnitemap. Whether they were friendly or hostile, there were some characters that would appear in the same place every match. However, there were also random encounters. These encounters were impossible to predict, as a random character would simply appear somewhere on the map -this is the case with theGrapple Glove encounter.

There were supposed to be no NPCs on the OG map, as this wasn’t part ofFortniteback in Chapter 1. However, following a recent update,a random rift encounter can occur on the Season OG map, and it will spawn in the Anarchy Agent character as well as a toolbox that contains a Grapple Glove. This is how it looks when it happens:

Players can only obtain the Grapple Glove if they come across the rift encounter or loot it from a player who has luckily found it.
