Speaking of weapons, a few returning favorites have made a comeback, including the E-11 Blaster and the Lightsaber. However, the Lightsaber’s return is a bit more limited than in previous collaborations with Star Wars.

How to get a Lightsaber in Fortnite

You can get your hands on a Lightsaber from Darth Vader by defeating him. You can also nab Vader’s saber from fallen players, but that might be easier said than done.

However, it’s important to note that Vader’s Lightsaber is the only one available in the game. In previous Star Wars crossovers, it was possible to find Lightsabers as floor loot or by speaking to their respective wielders, each boasting their iconic colorways and power schemes. That isn’t the case this time around, as Vader is the only wielder of this powerful weapon on the map.

Using the Lightsaber is still as powerful as ever, and you may need it if you want to save Chewbacca from captivity or defeat Wookie Bowcaster users. With Star Wars weapons being stronger than normal ones, getting your hands on them is a must if you want to take home that victory royale.

LEGO Fortnite players can also get their hands on Lightsabers with the Star Wars update, and they’ll need it as well if they want to help rebuild the Rebel’s forces.
