In Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 3, there are some mythical weapons that you can get by dueling certain NPCs across the map. Cerebus’ Gatekeeper Shotgun is one of the most powerful weapons available this season, so here’s how to get this gun in the game.
Where to find Cerebus’ Gatekeeper Shotgun in Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 3
The mythical Cerebus’ Gatekeeper Shotgun can be obtained by dueling against Cerebus at the Grim Gate POI. In the previous season, you could also get the Medallion of Cerebus. However, it was removed from the game in Chapter 5, Season 3.
Cerebus is located southwest of the high altar at Grim Gatecheck the map image below to see the exact location of this NPC.
Earlier, players had to interact with the boss to change to start the battle, but that mechanic was removed this season; and the boss was moved to a different place.
However, the fighting style of this boss remains similar to the previous season, where it uses the shotgun to deal damage. Additionally, Cerebus teleports around the arena to perform a close-range melee attack. Try to jump or slide away from the boss during this attack as it can reduce HP quickly.
The best idea to fight Cerebus is to shoot from a distance using an Assault Rifle or SMG. Step on the green water around the boss battle arena to get the underworld racing skill. This dash allows you to move a short distance quickly, but it only has three charges. Once you have the ability, move around the arena, surrounding the boss and shooting from a distance to deal damage.
Be careful as several players tend to land at this location to obtain this mythical weapon. My suggestion would be to get weapons and shields first before engaging the boss. Before starting the boss fight, Interact with the NPC to get a free consumable item, and choose the a duel option to occupy the character.
In Chapter 5 Season 3, you will find new bosses like Ringmaster Scarr, The Machinistand Megalo Don, and defeating them rewards you with the new Medallions. In addition to these three main bosses, there are a number of recurring NPCs available around the map that you can obtain special weapons from. Cerebus is one of the bosses players encountered during Chapter 5 Season 2, and this character is still available in-game along with their signature weapon.
Cerebus’ Gatekeeper Shotgun stands out as the most powerful melee weapon in-game. Basically, you can knock down and take out enemies with a single headshot with this mythical weapon.
