Based on the information shared, the B.E.A.S.T. Glove will likely be part of King Kong's skin itself. As seen in the image above, the character can be seen with the glove on its right arm. As of now, it is unclear if this will also be featured as an item in-game, given the many rumors surrounding it.
This also stems from the fact that it was a useable item in Call Of Duty during their collaboration with Godzilla and Kong. As such, Epic Games may follow suit and add the B.E.A.S.T. Glove to the loot pool later this week. It may be added as a melee weapon that players can use at close-range.
This would make combat more interesting and diverse, not to mention provide a solid substitute for the Kinetic Blade in Chapter 6 Season 1.
Aside from these speculations, there is also an in-game video showcasing the Emote that is related to the B.E.A.S.T. Glove. Dubbed the "Kong Emote" as of now, the glove slowly envelops the player's hand, and once fully covered, they smash it into the ground. Here's what it looks like in-game:
Based on the tentative timeline, all Godzilla and King Kong-related items/weapons/cosmetics should go live later this week. Epic Games will provide an update soon regarding the collaboration and other aspects of the crossover in detail. On that note, if leaks hold, you will be able to transform into Godzilla and terrorize the island and its inhabitants during a match.
