Epic GamesWhere to find Lightsabers in Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 4
The only way to get a Lightsaber in Fortnite right now is to find Ashoka Tano’s character on the map and speak to her. When you do this, you’ll enter a Rift Gate to complete the Jedi training and exit with a white Jedi Training Lightsaber, as well as some pretty cool Force abilities to try out, that will last till the end of the match.
In previous Star Wars crossovers, it was possible to find Lightsabers as floor loot, but it doesn’t seem like that’s the case this time around. Of course, you can also get a Lightsaber by eliminating another player who has one and then taking it for yourself.
How to use a Lightsaber in Fortnite
Lightsabers are a melee weapon in Fortnite, which means you need to get up close and personal with your opponents to deal any damage – so we’d recommend always having a gun as a backup option.
You can use the ‘shoot’ button (R2 on PS5) to swing the Lightsaber, stringing hits together for a combo, or use the ‘aim’ button (L2 on PS5) to block incoming attacks, whether that’s melee damage or bullets.
If you got a Lightsaber by entering a Rift Gate, you’ll also be able to use the Force to pull, push, or throw depending on which character you spoke to.
How to block shots using a Lightsaber in Fortnite
In order to block hits using a Lightsaber, you’ll simply need to use the ‘aim’ button on your controller or keyboard when an opponent is attacking you. The Lightsaber can block both bullets and melee attacks.
Some quests require you to ‘block shots using a Lightsaber’, which can be a bit tricky, but as long as you get the timing right you’ll complete it in no time.
Which Star Wars Lightsabers are available in Fortnite?
There are four Lightsabers available in Fortnite: Ahsoka Tano’s white Jedi Training Lightsaber, Obi-Wan Kenobi’s green Jedi Padawan Lightsaber, Anakin Skywalker’s blue Jedi Padawan Lightsaber, and Darth Maul’s red Sith Apprentice Lightsaber.
You’ll get each Lightsaber after speaking to the character that owns them on the map. However, currently in Chapter 4 Season 4, only Ahsoka Tano is available, with others expected to be available soon after the other three lightsabers were revealed to be unvaulted.
So if you want to head to join the rebel fight with a white Jedi Training Lightsaber, you’ll need to speak to Ahsoka Tano.
