The Fortnite Wrecker Revolver is one of the weapons getting a new acquisition route in the September 3 update, with the revolver joining the refreshed Chapter 7 Season 4 Loot Hack pool. The weapon is already available in Mythic form from The Hive, but the September 3 changes should make the Fortnite Wrecker Revolver much easier to encounter without relying entirely on a boss fight.
The Fortnite Wrecker Revolver is a hard-hitting handgun designed around accurate, high-damage shots rather than spraying bullets. Its Mythic Enhanced version is currently one of the boss rewards available in Chapter 7 Season 4, while the September 3 update adds another way to access the weapon through Loot Hacks.

How to get Fortnite Wrecker Revolver
There are expected to be two main ways to get the Fortnite Wrecker Revolver after the September 3 update.
The first is through the new Loot Hack system, with the Wrecker Revolver being added to the refreshed weapon pool on September 3. Loot Hacks allow players to influence the items they receive from Chests, making them one of the more reliable ways to target specific weapons during Override.
The second route is already live and involves defeating the Queen at The Hive.
Epic confirms that defeating this boss rewards the Mythic Enhanced Wrecker Revolver alongside the Surge Medallion.
That means players who specifically want the strongest version of the weapon can still head directly to The Hive, while the September 3 Loot Hack route should provide another option for finding a Wrecker Revolver during normal matches.
Where to find Fortnite Wrecker Revolver
The most reliable current location for the Fortnite Wrecker Revolver is The Hive.
A Queen boss can be found at this location, and defeating her drops the Mythic Enhanced Wrecker Revolver.
The boss also drops the Surge Medallion, which increases movement speed and provides an additional burst of speed when sliding.
Because Mythic boss weapons are guaranteed rewards when the boss is successfully defeated, The Hive remains the best route if you specifically want the Enhanced Wrecker Revolver rather than simply hoping to encounter another rarity.
After September 3, players should also be able to target the revolver through the new Loot Hack pool.
Is Wrecker Revolver new in the September 3 update?
No. The Fortnite Wrecker Revolver itself is not a completely new weapon.
It has already been available during Chapter 7 Season 4, including the Mythic Enhanced Wrecker Revolver dropped by the Queen at The Hive.
What changes on September 3 is its availability.
Fresh update information says the Wrecker Revolver joins the refreshed Loot Hack weapon pool, giving players another route to obtain it.
That distinction matters because players may see the weapon described as part of the September 3 weapon update and assume it is making its Fortnite debut.
What is the Enhanced Wrecker Revolver?
The Enhanced Wrecker Revolver is the Mythic version of the weapon.
It is obtained by defeating the Queen at The Hive and is currently tied directly to that boss encounter.
As a Mythic weapon, it sits above the normal rarity versions and is intended to be one of the stronger revolver options available during Chapter 7 Season 4.
Because the Mythic is tied to a named boss, it also gives players a reliable objective if they want to build a loadout around the Wrecker Revolver rather than simply waiting to find one.
How do you get Mythic Wrecker Revolver in Fortnite?
To get the Mythic Wrecker Revolver in Fortnite, travel to The Hive and defeat the Queen boss located there.
The Queen drops two major rewards:
| Boss reward | Effect |
|---|---|
| Mythic Enhanced Wrecker Revolver | Mythic version of the Wrecker Revolver |
| Surge Medallion | Increased movement speed and a burst of speed while sliding |
Epic confirms both rewards as part of The Hive boss encounter.
Other players can obviously take the weapon after eliminating whoever is carrying it, so the Mythic may also change hands multiple times during a match.
Is Wrecker Revolver part of Loot Hacks?
Yes. The Fortnite Wrecker Revolver is expected to join the Loot Hack weapon pool with the September 3 update.
This is particularly useful because Loot Hacks can give players more control over the items they receive from Chests.
Rather than travelling directly to The Hive and competing for the Mythic every match, players should have another opportunity to obtain a Wrecker Revolver through the Override system.
Was Striker Burst supposed to return instead?
There has been some confusion around this part of the September 3 update because early information referenced a different weapon.
The current update coverage lists the Wrecker Revolver as part of the refreshed Loot Hack pool.
Players should therefore expect the Wrecker Revolver rather than relying on older pre-update lists that may show another weapon in its place.
Is the Wrecker Revolver worth using?
The Fortnite Wrecker Revolver is best suited to players who are comfortable landing accurate individual shots.
Revolvers generally punish missed shots more heavily than automatic weapons, but they reward accuracy with much stronger damage per hit.
The Mythic Enhanced Wrecker Revolver is particularly attractive because it gives players access to the strongest version of the weapon while also putting the Surge Medallion into the same boss route.
That makes The Hive one of the more valuable locations to contest if you like revolvers and aggressive mobility.
Does the Wrecker Revolver use the same ammo as other handguns?
The exact September 3 Loot Hack version should be checked once the update is live, particularly if Epic adjusts weapon stats or ammo behaviour as part of the refresh.
The existing Wrecker Revolver is already part of Chapter 7 Season 4, so the update is primarily changing how players can obtain it rather than introducing an entirely new weapon class.
When does the Wrecker Revolver Loot Hack become available?
The new Fortnite Wrecker Revolver Loot Hack is expected to arrive with the September 3 update.
The update also introduces new Sprites, additional Match Overrides and several other Loot Hack items, making the Wrecker Revolver part of a broader mid-season refresh rather than a standalone weapon release.
Until then, players can already get the Mythic Enhanced Wrecker Revolver by defeating the Queen at The Hive.
