Fortnite Lightsabers Guide

05/08/2025 Action

Want to add some epic lightsaber action to your Fortnite gameplay? These iconic Star Wars weapons are more than just cool; they're powerful tools that can quickly turn the tide of battle. But finding them isn't always easy.

Multiple Ways to Acquire Lightsabers

There are several ways to get your hands on a Lightsaber. You might get lucky and find one as a drop from defeated opponents. However, more reliable methods exist. You can locate specific NPC holograms scattered across the map. These Training Rift Gate NPCs represent various Star Wars characters, each aligned with either the Jedi or Sith factions.

Interacting with these holograms lets you choose a side and receive the corresponding Lightsaber. The location and availability of these NPCs are random, so exploration is key. Look for faction icons on your map; they appear after the first storm phase. Each icon displays a lightsaber, with the color indicating the faction and character.

Another path is to take on the ultimate challenge: defeating Darth Vader. This formidable foe drops a unique Lightsaber boasting the special Force Saber Throw ability. However, be warned: this is a highly contested location, so prepare for a fight.

Lightsaber Abilities

Each Lightsaber offers unique abilities beyond standard attacks and blocking. All share Force Jump, but their special Force abilities vary depending on the faction and character. Jedi Lightsabers offer Force Push or Force Pull, while Sith Lightsabers offer Force Lightning or Force Throw.

Darth Vader's Lightsaber stands apart with its distinctive Force Saber Throw, adding a tactical element to combat. Choose your side and choose your power!
