Explosive power is back on the island as TNTina’s Mythic Ka-Boom Bow returns, offering massive damage and fiery flair to those bold enough to claim it. Here’s how players can find, wield, and dominate with this fan-favorite weapon in Fortnite.
Where to Find TNTina in Fortnite Chapter 2 Remix
TNTina appears at a new POI called Boom Basin in Fortnite Chapter 2 Remix. This area is located near the eastern shore, easily spotted by its red-and-yellow explosive decorations and large fuel tanks. Players can find TNTina patrolling the central yard surrounded by boxes of explosives and her henchmen. Defeating her rewards you with TNTina’s Mythic Ka-Boom Bow along with a vault keycard, giving access to high-tier loot inside the nearby underground vault.
Your journey begins at The Rig, located in the southwestern corner of the map near Slurpy Swamp. This isolated oil platform might seem peaceful from a distance, but don’t be fooled – it’s heavily guarded by SHADOW Henchmen and the explosive expert herself, Dynamo TNTina.
This isolated location means you’ll need to plan your landing carefully – dropping directly from the Battle Bus is your best bet to avoid swimming across open water. TNTina can be found patrolling the top floor of the central building. You can check the exact location above.
How to Get TNTina’s Mythic Ka-Boom Bow in Fortnite
TNTina’s Mythic Ka-Boom Bow can be obtained by defeating TNTina, a powerful NPC boss currently found at specific spawn locations on the island. She typically carries the bow and guards it fiercely with explosive attacks, so approaching her with strong weapons and good cover is key. After eliminating her, the bow drops as loot and can then be collected by any player nearby. This weapon deals massive explosive damage, making it one of the most sought-after items in the match.
TNTina is harder to defeat compared to other NPCs like Snoop Dogg and Meowdas. Therefore, we recommend you have a plan before you challenge her. First, consider using the phone booth disguise strategy – these booths are scattered around The Rig and will make SHADOW Henchmen and TNTina temporarily neutral to you.
When engaging TNTina, remember she’s no ordinary opponent. Take advantage of The Rig’s structures. There are numerous covers and if you use them properly during the fight you shouldn’t have any trouble talking her down. However, be careful since many other players also hunt for Mythic weapons and might catch you off-guard. Once defeated, TNTina drops the Mythic Ka-Boom Bow and a vault keycard.
Mythic Ka-Boom Bow Stats
TNTina’s Mythic Ka-Boom Bow packs explosive power, firing arrows that detonate on impact for massive area damage. It deals heavy splash damage to both structures and players, making it especially strong in close to mid-range fights. The bow uses special explosive arrows instead of standard ammo, and its fire rate and draw speed are slightly faster than the standard Boom Bow. Its precision and explosive radius allow skilled players to control the battlefield and apply constant pressure on opponents.

The bow requires charging for maximum effectiveness, but when fully charged, it delivers both direct hit damage and explosive splash damage.
How to Access the Vault in Rig
The Vault at The Rig is located beneath the main building guarded by henchmen. To access it, defeat TNTina to obtain her Keycard, which drops after she’s eliminated. Use the Keycard to open the Vault security terminal nearby. Keep an eye out for traps and enemy players while entering, as the Vault area often attracts attention. Inside, you’ll find high-tier loot, ammunition, and healing items to prepare for the next fight.
After securing the keycard, head to the base of The Rig. Look for a destructible wall in one of the support pillars You’ll know it’s the right one when your indicator points toward it. Break through with your pickaxe to reveal the vault entrance. Inside, you’ll find six chests that will give you high-tier loot.
Best weapons to pair with Ka-Boom Bow
The Ka-Boom Bow excels at long-range combat and structure destruction, so pairing it with weapons that handle close to mid-range encounters will create a balanced loadout.
Close-Range Options
Since the Ka-Boom Bow requires charging time and uses shotgun shells, you’ll want a rapid-fire weapon for immediate threats. SMGs are ideal for close-quarters combat, allowing you to quickly switch when enemies push you after avoiding your explosive arrows. Shotguns also work well for burst damage when opponents close the distance, though they share the same ammo type as the Ka-Boom Bow.
Mid-Range Weapons
An assault rifle provides consistent mid-range pressure and complements the bow’s explosive capabilities perfectly. When enemies build defensive structures, you can break them with the Ka-Boom Bow’s splash damage, then finish with precise AR shots. This combination allows you to control fights at multiple distances without committing all your shotgun shells to the bow.
Utility Items
Boogie Bombs synergize extremely well with the Ka-Boom Bow-they immobilize opponents, making it easier to land charged explosive shots on stationary targets. Shields and healing items are essential since you’ll often engage from range where you can be exposed to counter-fire while charging shots.
Recommended Loadout Structure

Slot 1: Ka-Boom Bow (long-range/structure damage)
