Legendary Fortnite streamer Ali "SypherPK" Hassan is back with another handy hack for the Marvel-themed Chapter 2 Season 4. Since Thor first swung his hammer onto the map on August 27, Epic Games has celebrated a boom in interest for its battle royale goliath. Even the sometimes fickle Tyler "Ninja" Blevins has been back on the map and suiting up as your favourite supes.

One of the big pulls of Season 4 has been the use of Mythic Abilities and their advantages of giving you one over the other players. Whether it's heading to crashed Quinjet sites to try and pick up the Silver Surfer's board, descending on Doom's Domain and defeating the big man himself to grab the Arcane Gauntlets, or swinging by Stark Industries to pick up Iron Man's Unibeam, POIs have been more crowded than ever. 

 

With everyone heading to the biggest Marvel POIs, landing late of the Battle Bus can lead to you being wiped out before you've even had the chance to catch a glimpse of another player, let alone try and take them on. Seriously, did someone throw Quicksilver into this season? With this in mind, SypherPK has revealed how you can land with full shields, which can be invaluable when other players have already got the jump on you. 

The trick takes some clever timing, but if you pull it off, you're onto a winner. Firstly, you'll need to find a slurp truck and slowly glide toward it. This one will undoubtedly take some practice, but the knack is landing in front of the truck. When striking it with a pickaxe, you should see your shields instantly jump up to 100. 

Obviously, you can avoid all the kerfuffle by landing at obscure spots and avoiding the big Marvel hubs. Then again, where's the fun in that? Surely, you want to get in amongst the action and grab Thor's Mjolnir Strike. Sticking with Mythic Weapons, there's a growing argument that they're simply too strong and are dominating the Fortnite meta.

Instead of the skill-based system that made you a sharp-shooter, critics have argued whoever has the Mythic Weapon is the strongest and has an unfair advantage over everyone else. Ninja and SypherPK have shown it time and time again on their recent streams. The pair are definitely better than most of us, however, with Mythic Weapons equipped, they've become a force to be reconned with. 

With so many Mythic masters knocking around, we suggest you try out SypherPK's hack while you can. Still, we don't fancy our chances against a fully shielded SypherPK blasting him with Iron Man's Repulsor Gauntlets.
