Epic Games added two new Mythic items to this new Fortnite x Dragon Ball Z collaboration. The first is the Kamehameha—a famous finishing attack from the anime series. This maneuver is Goku's signature, and in Fortnite, it allows players to send the energy wave attack and deal significant damage.

Secondly, we have the Nimbus Cloud item—a mode of transportation in the Dragon Ball universe. From a Fortnite perspective, the Mythic Nimbus Cloud gadget functions similarly to the Witch's Broom or Silver Surfer's Surfboard. Essentially, the Nimbus Cloud launches you into the air upon activation and grants you a glider redeploy. You can purchase both items from the Bulma NPC at the Kame House for 250 gold.

Dragon Ball Super Episode Festival

You might have noticed some of the quests above reference the Dragon Ball Super Episode Festival. To expand on that, Fortnite x Dragon Ball Super allows players to watch episodes from the Dragon Ball Super series in-game. From August 16 until September 17, you can watch six episodes by visiting the Dragon Ball Super Episode Festival in the in-game 'Discover' menu. Soon, you will also have the chance to select individual episodes.
