Headshotting opponents with a thermal weapon is a challenge you can complete in Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 2 to help unlock the Prowler skin.
Although part of the Battle Pass, this Marvel character is not unlocked by spending Battle Stars. Instead, you must complete three unique challenges, one of which involves locating a thermal weapon.
This guide will detail all the methods on how to find a thermal weapon in Fortnite, where to find Huntmaster Sabre, and explain what exactly a thermal weapon is.

Please note that this particular challenge can no longer be completed. What’s new? Chapter 4 Season 2 has arrived! New additions include Grind Rails and Kinetic Blades, along with the new Battle Pass, character collection, and Eren Jaeger skin. It’s a good idea to know how to get XP quickly in Fortnite.
What is a thermal weapon in Fortnite?
A thermal weapon allows you to see heat signatures when you aim the scope. This makes it easier to spot an enemy in the distance. You can only see the heat signatures when you zoom in, so having the thermal weapon in your inventory won’t be enough to activate the effect. There is currently only one thermal weapon in Fortnite, the thermal scoped assault rifle.
If you like the thermal effect, but not the range, consuming a thermal fish displays heat signatures without the need to equip any weapons. However, this effect doesn’t last long, so be sure to stock up on thermal fish if you plan to use it frequently.
Where to find thermal weapons in Fortnite
There are three ways to find thermal weapons in Fortnite:
- Searching for chests and floor loot.
- Defeat Master Hunter Saber
- Defeat an IO Hunter

There’s also a new Victory Umbrella! In the meantime, learn what the best weapons are, the current boosts, how to get XP quickly, how to use the best PC builds, and earn a crown of victory.
Where to find Huntmaster Saber and get thermal weapon
Huntmaster Saber will drop a Legendary Thermal Scoped Assault Rifle when defeated. He can currently be found in The Collider area.
You can find Huntmaster Saber in The Collider.
Huntmaster Saber is easy to find, but he is a fairly difficult opponent to defeat, due to his speed and the amount of damage he deals. We recommend facing him with full health, shields, and a decent weapon loadout.
If the Huntmaster Saber is proving too tough, you can try taking down an IO Hunter, which takes a little longer to find, but is much easier to kill.
Where to find IO Hunter and get thermal weapon
An IO Hunter will appear during the last wave of the fight between The Seven and IO. The two sides are not currently fighting, but we will update this page if they resume fighting.
If the IO Hunter returns, get a weapon you’re safe with and a good amount of ammo, then take out any IO Guards you encounter in the combat area. Once the third wave is reached, the IO Hunter will appear. It’s the enemy with the dual health bar above his head.
Once the IO Hunter dies, he will drop an Epic Thermal Scoped Assault Rifle.
