Shuri has made her way onto the Fortnite island in Chapter Five, season four, and she’s brought her Black Panther Claws. It’s a strong weapon powered by technologies from Wakanda you can use to destroy enemies as long—if you can find it.

Shuri’s Black Panther Claws is a rare weapon in Fortnite Chapter Five, season four. You can find it almost anywhere on the island, from floor loot and regular chests to Avenger’s chests and rare chests.

To get them quickly, you can buy Black Panther Claws from Shuri for 300 Gold. Shuri walks around a small facility to the east of Nitrodrome. Only one player per match can buy the Claws from Shuri, so if you want them, make sure to drop nearby.

Although this may not be Cap’s shield, the Black Panther Claws can make short work of the enemy if you get an element of surprise. The Claws have a regular slash attack and a pounce attack (when attacking in the air or while sprinting).

Attacking and sprinting with Black Panther Claws accumulates Kinetic Energy (purple energy bar). Once the energy bar is full, you can supercharge the Black Panther Claws to become faster and deal more damage.

It takes multiple slashes to eliminate a player, so I recommend sneaking up on them from behind to close the distance as much as possible. You can also pair Black Panther Claws with something like War Machine’s Auto-turret if sneaking isn’t your thing.
