Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 3 puts Star Wars center-stage. The influx of content includes Lightsabers, and if you want to chop down your foes with Kyber crystals in cyber combat, we’ve got everything you need to know.
Few fictional weapons in history are as iconic as the Lightsaber. You don’t get much cooler than a laser sword, so including Lightsabers in Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 3 is a no-brainer.
In the same way players are desperate to find X-Wings and Tie Fighters, the community is eager to start swinging away with Lightsabers too.
Every Lightsaber in Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 3
Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 3 has four different Lightsabers to obtain throughout the season: Rey’s Blue Lightsaber, Emperor Palpatine’s Red Lightsaber (later Darth Maul too), Samurai Vader’s Red Lightsaber, and Mace Windu’s Purple Lightsaber (arriving midseason).
It’s a bit disappointing that there’s no green saber, as I’m partial to Luke’s Green Lightsaber in Return of the Jedi. But beggars can’t be choosers!
If you’re a fan of the Red Lightsaber, boy, are you in for a treat. Some people might even say you’ll be a force to be reckoned with in Fortnite.
How to Get All Lightsabers in Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 3
To get Lightsabers in Fortnite, you need to eliminate another player who has one and take theirs, train with legendary Star Wars mentors, or defeat a certain NPC to get one.
Each Lightsaber has a different owner, some have different colors, but each one has a different Force Ability. This is why you need to seek them out and try them.
To make this nice and easy for you, here’s a quick table showing you the types of Lightsabers and the conventional way to obtain them.
| Lightsaber Color | Lightsaber Owner | How to Get it | Force Ability |
|---|---|---|---|
| Blue | Rey | Find and train with Rey’s Hologram | Force Push |
| Red | Emperor Palpatine | Find and train with Emperor Palpatine’s Hologram | Force Lightning |
| Red | Darth Maul | Find and train with Darth Maul’s Hologram from May 8 | Force Throw |
| Red | Samurai Vader | Defeat them | Force Saber Throw |
| Purple | Mace Windu | Find and train with Mace Windu’s Hologram from May 8 | Force Pull |
