The Cloak Gauntlets is a Utility Item in Fortnite: Battle Royale, that was added to the game in Chapter 4: Season 3.

The Cloak Gauntlets have a Mythic version called Wildguard Relik's Cloak Gauntlets.

Functionality

Functionality[]

The Cloak Gauntlets allow the player to go nearly invisible. In this state, the player takes on a nearly transparent model, and only a vague outline is visible when moving. The effect is cancelled if the player swaps away from the Cloak Gauntlets, spents into Mud or gets hit by an EMP blast.

The Cloak Gauntlets last for a total of 30 seconds and go on a 30 second cooldown when invisibility expires. Picking up a different set of Cloak Gauntlets will transfer the cooldown.

Calculated - Emote - Fortnite This section outlines a strategy.
Feel free to add tips, tricks and general advice about the topic.
  • The Cloak Gauntlets possess unlimited charges, you can cloak yourself again and again!
  • Though you're unable to attack while using Cloak Gauntlets to cover yourself, you can end your cover early by unequipping the gauntlets or swapping to another item in your inventory.
    • Keep in mind that this will force your character into a 1 second animation, making you vulnerable to enemy attacks.
  • Cloak Gauntlets can be used to effectively reposition yourself in the final set of storm circles. If the enemy players cannot see where you are positioning, you may be able to get the jump on them.
  • The following situations effectively reveal a cloaked player, or at least their presence:
    • Moving without crouching (Visualized Sound and Dust Effect on the ground)
    • Gliding (the Glider is visible and makes Visualized Sound)
    • Slap & Low Gravity visual effects
    • Using Zip Lines (Visualized Sound and Low Gravity effect)
    • Footprints on Mud and Snow.
    • In water (small splash) or Swimming (Visualized Sound and Splashes)
    • Any kind of Scanning item
    • EMP blasts fully disable invisibility (Shield Breaker EMP, EMP Stealth Camo, War Bus's horn, etc)
    • Stepping into Mud disables the effect
    • Seen via Thermal Vision (Thermal DMR, Thermal Fish, etc.)
    • Using Emotes that have light effects or spawn other objects.
  • As long as the invisibility of the Cloak Gauntlets is active, its user is immune to the targeting mechanic of lock-on weapons. This includes the Lock On Pistol, Lock On Assault Rifle, Kinetic Boomerang and Fire Oni Mask.
