With the introduction of Spider-Man to the Chapter 3 Battle Pass, the appearance of The Daily Bugle on the Fortnite map isn’t the only addition brought by our friendly neighborhood spider.
This page explains how to web swing in Fortnite, the web swinging release time and where to find web-shooters to start practicing your web swinging abilities.

As per usual, be prepared for any of the aforementioned times to change closer to date - and do make sure to have your game up to date with the latest patch beforehand.
It’s worth noting that web swinging did not release at launch. According to the official site, web swinging in Fortnite will become available on December 11. If you were looking for a way to do it and couldn’t find how, this is why.
That being said, there is footage available online showcasing how this will work. While we don’t know the exact controls, you can web swing in Fortnite by using Spider-Man’s web-shooters, which is an equippable item.
You can see an example of this below (thanks to Kanga on YouTube):
According to the YouTube user, the item was available for a short time by accident and they were able to test it out before they were removed.
It seems that as long as you have a surface nearby to aim at, the web will get attached to it and you’ll be free to swing around it. There is also a cooldown of around 15 seconds (this may change once the item is available on an official capacity) which is worth keeping in mind.
In addition, it seems the swinging can offer variations depending on where you’re aiming at - web surfing being one of them:
We’re yet to see everything web swinging has to offer, and it’s only a matter of time until the Fortnite community is able to experiment with it.
Fortnite Chapter 4 Chapter 1 is here, complete with a new augments system, the coming arrival of Geralt and the Ageless Champion to beat! We’ve also got a present list for Winterfest and Cozy Lodge and pizza slice locations.
Meanwhile, learn how to get XP fast, earn the Victory Umbrella, find character locations and earn a Victory Crown.
While we continue to wait until the official release to verify ourselves on the (digital) ground, the video above showcases one possible location for the item.
The NPC over at Greasy Grove seems to have web-shooters on sale, although it will cost you 400 gold.
There is no guarantee that this will be maintained as is for the official release, but at the very least this serves as a starting point ahead of time. Considering this is an item, you may be able to grab it from fallen enemies as well.
We’re yet to see everything that web swinging has to offer as players. But in the meantime, you can learn all about the new Victory Umbrella, the new Fortnite map and all Chapter 3 Battle Pass skins.
