All Lightsabers Added in Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 3

Fortnite added lightsabers to their battle royale – acquiring these melee weapons through the proper means allow players to utilize extra mobility alongside wield the force. But to wield them properly, the player cannot simply pick up a lightsaber; doing so only allows the basic combos with no access to extra mobility or the force.

 Lightsaber Spawn Locations

Lightsabers spawn around five minutes into the game; they are indicated on the mini map by a badge with a lightsaber icon. They spawn in random locations every match, but both instructors have been frequently sighted standing out in the open rather than in buildings. 

There are two instructors: Rey and Palpatine. No ammo is needed and players cannot run out of lightsaber charge. 

• Interact with Darth Sideous (Palpatine) for a Red Lightsaber
  • Grants Force Lightning (hold block and attack simultaneously)
• Interact with Rey for a Blue Lightsaber
  • Grants Force Push (hold block and attack simultaneously)

Unless players have personally talked to an instructor, they cannot wield a lightsaber to the fullest extent possible. 

The only other way to become a Jedi and wield a lightsaber is to defeat Darth Vader. Darth Vader spawns at Samurai’s Solitude. Defeating him grants the player an exclusive lightsaber with the ability: Force Saber Throw. 

Other Jedi instructors slated to join the game are Mace Windu and Darth Maul, who release on May 8. 

Fortnite begins its Star Wars collaboration celebrations with a premiere of Tales of the Underworld, a highly anticipated Star Wars animation. The first two episodes are being shown in-game on May 2 at 10 am ET, with an exclusive reward for those who watch both episodes. Players can watch them on the standalone Star Wars Watch Party Island.
