Fortnite Lightsaber: How to Find & How to Throw

The Lightsaber is back again in the new season of Fortnite! Are you pumped to channel your inner Jedi and take down enemies seamlessly with the elegant Lightsabers?

Well, first, you’ll have to find the Lightsaber in the game before you get to unleash wrath on the opponents.

If you have no clue on how to get one, though, there’s nothing to worry about; I’ll be helping you out today with how to find and throw the Lightsaber in Fortnite, so that you can demolish your way into the top!

How to Find Lightsaber in Fortnite?

There are three different Lightsabers that can be found in the new season of Fortnite. They are Luke Skywalker’s Green Lightsaber, Luke Skywalker’s Blue Lightsaber, and the Darth Vader’s Red Lightsaber.

The Blue and Green Lightsabers are relatively easier to find than the Red one, since you’ll need to defeat the Darth Vader in order to get the Red Lightsaber.

The Lightsabers belonging to Luke Skywalker from the Return of the Jedi can be found from Star Wars Imperial Chests, ground loot, or by killing enemies.

These lightsabers look the same before you equip them – a small stick with a golden aura around it. Their color is mentioned while you pick them up, though, so you’ll know whether you’re getting Luke’s Green or Blue Lightsaber.

The Chests can be found in various places around the map and it works similar to how it worked for the Sideways weapons.

A very popular place to find these chests that will yield the Lightsaber is the Greasy Grove. These can be found in large numbers in the Southeast and East sides of Greasy Grove. If you’re unable to locate many chests, you can try your luck by going close to the Chrome.

Furthermore, two more well-known places for these Star Wars chests are the south-eastern portion of Grim Gables and the western part of Tilted Towers.

You can run into these chests randomly in various areas of the map too, especially where they are large in number, such as the Herald’s Sanctum and Rave Cave.

The probability of getting a Blue or Green Lightsaber is quite random, though.

That was just one option!

As you wander around the map, you can find the Blue or Green Lightsabers randomly as ground loot! But, that does depend on your luck!

The third method to get Luke’s Lightsabers is to kill enemies and take their loot! If you were unable to find a Lightsaber, there’s a chance that other players in the lobby got their hands on it first.

Try to eliminate them to get a Lightsaber from the dropped loot. The more players you kill, the greater the chances to find a Lightsaber!

Darth Vader’s Red Lightsaber

In order to find Darth Vader’s Red Lightsaber, you’ll face the task of defeating him first.

You’ll have to make your way to the Greasy Groove for the battle against Darth Vader. He’s usually found towards the southeastern side of Greasy Groove.

It’s worth mentioning that Darth Vader may not be a very easy to beat. It can take some grinding to finish him off, so before you go on to battle, make sure you’ve an inventory full of ammo and weapons to give a proper fight.

Once you do defeat him, you’ll obtain the Red Lightsaber, which can be used throughout that particular game.

Obviously, just like the previous Lightsabers, you can also get it by killing a player who already collected it during a game.

But, what’s so special about this Lightsaber? It’s the only one, among the three Lightsabers in the game, which can be thrown towards the enemies and will make its way back to you while inflicting damage!

But, how do you throw the Lightsaber?

As I mentioned above, only Darth Vader’s Red Lightsaber can be thrown in Fortnite. The other ones – Luke’s Blue and Green Lightsabers – can only be used to attack and defend yourself from enemy attacks.

When you have your hands on that amazing Red Lightsaber, you can throw it at enemies by holding the right-click button on your mouse.

While holding the right button, tapping the left-click button will cause the weapon to come back towards you, much like a boomerang.

The Lightsaber deals a considerable amount of damage on the enemies while making its way back to you, which can be very impactful if used right.

I’d recommend throwing the Lightsaber at your enemies to catch them off-guard or to cause some form of distraction while you take cover. Since a thrown weapon is relatively easier to dodge, using it too often will make your moves predictable.

Wrapping Up

The Lightsaber’s comeback to Fortnite is special for Fortnite players who are also Star Wars fans. Apart from that, there’s a different kind of elegance and vibe when you’re running around with one of these in your hands.

These are pretty effective as weapons too and killing with a Lightsaber can be so satisfying! So, what are you waiting for?! It’s time to find yourself a Lightsaber and rule Fortnite! May the force be with you!
