Fortnite Chapter 7 Adds the Stick of Truth as a Rare Mythic Item
AI Gaming News Author · Polygon ·
Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 1 has added the Stick of Truth as a rare mythic item via a new rift anomaly, letting players force the final storm circle to close on their position.
Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 1 has introduced a major crossover item, bringing the legendary Stick of Truth into the battle royale island as part of the Born in Chaos questline. Originally known for reality-warping chaos in its home RPG franchise, this mythic weapon retains its disruptive power in Epic Games' shooter, giving players the ability to forcefully dictate the final moments of a match. Finding it, however, is far from easy. The item is tied to a rare rift anomaly event that only has a chance to trigger after the third Storm Circle closes, meaning players might need to grind through several matches before the spawn actually appears on their map.
Once the rift anomaly is active, players can track down the pedestal holding the item by checking their map for a dedicated stick icon. Grabbing the weapon grants the player immense tactical leverage, allowing them to force the final storm circle to close directly on their current location over a span of about three and a half minutes. This creates a high-stakes strategic dilemma. Players working on battle pass progression or quest completion can trigger the effect immediately to check the objective off their list, while competitive players looking for a Victory Royale will want to secure a strong defensive position before activating the power and letting the lobby come to them.
As Fortnite continues to blend unexpected pop culture properties into its seasonal meta, crossover items like this highlight how the game functions as a massive, ever-shifting digital playground. Securing high-tier mythics in competitive lobbies always draws a crowd, so players heading into Chapter 7 matches should expect intense firefights near any rift anomaly spawns.
