How to get the Kamehameha and Nimbus Cloud in Fortnite

How to locate the Dragon Ball-themed items.

The Kamehameha and Nimbus Cloud are back to help guide you to victory in Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 1.

Introduced as part of the August 2022 update in Fortnite, these two Dragon Ball themed items have been unvaulted during the current Dragon Ball event - allowing you to create a powerful laser beam and efficent mode of transport, respectively.

How to get a Kamehameha and Nimbus Cloud in Fortnite isn't as straightforward as other items, however, so we've got an explainer for both below.


Note this particular challenge is no longer able to be completed. What's new? Chapter 4 Season 2 has arrived! New additions include the 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 fast in Fortnite.

How to get a Kamehameha and Nimbus Cloud in Fortnite

The Kamehameha and Nimbus Cloud in Fortnite both appear throughout each match in the Battle Royale and Zero Build modes.

To get the Kamehameha and Nimbus Cloud in Fortnite, you have to either search Capsule Corp capsules that fall from the sky or purchase them from Dragon Ball vending machines.

As the Storm circle gets smaller, more Capsule Corp capsules will fall from the sky, meaning the end of each match could be a bit messy for all involved.

If you want to gaurantee getting the Kamehameha or Nimbus Cloud early on, then we recommend purchasing one from a Dragon Ball Vending Machine instead. They both cost 250 gold bars.

There will be others, but we found a Dragon Ball Vending Machine in Frenzy Fields, near Sunflower's location.


Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 1 is here! It brings a free Lego Insider skin and redemption codes with it, along with a new Victory Umbrella. We've also got pages on new features like Medallions, Weapon Mods, and how to complete a Train Heist. Meanwhile, learn what the best weapons are in the current season, how to get XP fast, and what the best PC settings are to help earn a Victory Crown.


How do Kamehameha and Nimbus Cloud in Fortnite work?

Both Dragon Ball-themed items are powerful in different ways.

To use a Kamehameha in Fortnite, first equip then aim as you would a weapon. Attack when ready, and after a few seconds with a warmup animation, a powerful beam will fire. You can slowly move this as it fires - useful if an enemy is running, or if you want to sweep it across a structure to destroy multiple objects.

This weapon is powerful, but best used when you aren't in an intense firefight due to its slow speed. It also has finite applications, and has a cooldown between each use.

To use a Nimbus Cloud in Fortnite, simply equip, use and you'll automatically start flying before slowly descending. Though you can't travel a great distance, it's one of the faster modes of transport - useful for a quick getaway.

Unlike the Kamehameha, you can use it as many times as you like - albeit also on a cooldown.
