"Likely will be nerfed": Community reacts to player's combo of Fortnite Magneto Gauntlets Mythic and Nitro Fists

Epic Games recently released the Fortnite Magneto Gauntlets Mythic in Chapter 5 Season 3, allowing players to harvest the powers of the master of magnetism himself. With the release of this unique new item, players have been trying to make the most out of it, pushing the Fortnite Magneto Gauntlets Mythic to its limit and seeing how to best use it for an advantage.

This is highlighted in a recent Reddit clip shared by u/majorvamu, where the player can be seen in a solo Chapter 5 Season 3 match, donning the Dire Outfit and using the Nitro Fists to gain some height. As the player reached significant height, they equipped the Fortnite Magneto Gauntlets Mythic and began raining down projectiles on an enemy, eliminating them with ease.
