Hero items are any weapons in Fortnite that a hero like Iron Man, Shuri, or War Machine would use. Items like Iron Man’s Combat and Flight kits, War Machine’s arsenal, or Shuri’s claws are all viable options for completing this particular weekly task. You can find these weapons in Doctor Doom, Avengers, and Stark Industries chests.

Here’s a list of some hero items you’ll find during your Fortnite matches:

  • Iron Man Combat and Flight kit
  • War Machine’s Arsenal, Auto-Turret, and Hover Jets
  • Shuri’s Black Panther Claws

Your best bet for quickly collecting hero items is visiting mobile armory delivery spots and opening any Stark Industries chests you find. They’re guaranteed to drop at least one hero item, giving you an easy way to finish this quest. Alternatively, you can visit larger landmarks like Restored Reels, Reckless Railways, or Doomstadt for quick access to Doctor Doom and Avenger’s chests.

Although opening chests is a good way to get hero items, you can buy several. Iron Man, who roams around the mobile armory near Grim Gate, sells his Combat kit, which Fortnite considers a hero item. Similarly, you can𒁏 find Captain Jones near the Nitrodrome and buy the Captain America shield.

Your last option for getting hero items is waiting until mid-match to open Stark mobile armories. After around three storm circles, they’ll appear at various delivery stations, allowing you to enter them and obtain either Iron Man’s kits or War Machine’s three weapons. You can knock out several quests by visiting these, including the hero item weekly task.
