Prowler, a Spider-Man villain first introduced in Marvel’s comic books is now available as an unlockable skin in .

To unlock Prowler, you’ll need to buy the current Battle Pass. However, the skin has to be unlocked by completing certain tasks during the current season. Once the season is over, the skin will no longer be available.

The battle pass in Chapter 3, Season 2 features Marvel’s Doctor Strange and Prowler, a character that hasn’t appeared in the live action movies yet but has been both an ally and villain in the comics and the game.

As Prowler only requires the battle pass to be bought, you can tackle the tasks in any order you like, with each one giving you some progress towards the different cosmetics and the skin itself.

How to unlock the Prowler skin

The Prowler skin only needs three of the eight available quests to be completed and all quests will reward you with a particular extra cosmetic.

Prowler’s specific quests, that you’ll need to beat, are as follows:

  • Headshot three opponents with a thermal weapon – Mark of the Prowler weapon wrap
  • Search seven chests before taking any damage in a match – Sky Prowler glider
  • Use one spray at The Daily Bugle – Prowler tag spray
  • Mod two vehicles and drive them 500 meters in a match – Prowler’s Grasp emoticon
  • Collect 300 bars – Prowler themed loading screen
  • Damage opponents while crouched or sliding – Energy Claw harvesting tool
  • Complete seven Prowler quests – ‘Slash and Smash’ emote

Where to find thermal weapons in Fortnite

One of the biggest struggles with the Prowler quests is that there’s such a variety, so getting them all done in a single match just won’t be feasible.

However, the one that is causing most issues amongst the community is the location of the thermal weapons to headshot enemies with. Not only do you have to hunt these elusive guns down, but you then have to shoot another player right in the noggin.

There’s currently only one thermal weapon as of right now and the thermal scoped assault rifle can only be found by doing the following:

  • Loot chests or find them on the floor
  • Kill other players that have the gun
  • Defeat Huntmaster Saber
  • Defeat an IO Hunter

Fortnite’s bosses patrol certain areas of the map, with Huntmaster Saber being an especially difficult fight.

He can deal 20 damage per hit with a spinning slash or dole out tonnes of damage with the thermal rifle you’re after.

However, if you’re quick and can get to him first in the match, you should be able to reliably get a thermal rifle off him for the quest.

To find Huntmaster Saber, you’ll want to head to the Command Cavern Airship which can be found in the snowy area of the map, as indicated below.
