Where to find lightsabers in the game
Lightsabers can be found all around the island as floor loot, so you’ll need to keep an eye on the ground for small, glowing sticks with a golden light.
Dexerto stated that their players managed to find one of the iconic weapons inside a destroyed building at Tilted Towers, but you should be able to find them at most Points Of Interest if searching around long enough.
The best way to find one of the Star Wars weapons is to go to an area with a lot of loot. Euro Gamer suggests that named locations like The Daily Bugle, Tilted Towers and Command Cavern contain a lot of chests and floor loot, but you should be careful as these are also popular landing areas.
You should find all of the lightsabers at random and they each have the same performance as each other.
How to use the wicked weapons
Lightsabers are a melee weapon in Fortnite, meaning you will need to get up close with your opponents to deal any damage.
Dexerto recommends players should always carry a gun as a backup option.
Use the ‘shoot’ button (R2 on PS5) to swing the lightsaber, stringing hits together for a combo.
The ‘ai’ button (L2 on PS5) can be used to block incoming attacks, both bullets and melee.
One of the game’s May the 4th challenges requires players to ‘block hits using a Lightsaber’ at least ten times. As long as you get the timing right, you should be able to complete this easily.
