Every Lightsaber location in Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 3
You can get Lightsabers by training with holograms, defeating Darth Vader or killing players who already have one.
Train with Holograms
Look for holograms marked on your in-game map – blue for Rey and red for Emperor Palpatine.
- Rey (Blue Lightsaber): Interact with her hologram to receive the blue lightsaber and unlock Force Push, which knocks back enemies and objects.
- Emperor Palpatine (Red Lightsaber): Speak with his hologram to get the red lightsaber and Force Lightning, which damages nearby foes with electricity.
- Mace Windu (Purple Lightsaber): Speak with his hologram to get the purple Lightsaber and Force Pull to draw enemies and objects toward you.
- Darth Maul (Red Lightsaber): Interact with his hologram to get the Red Lightsaber and unlocks Force Throw, allowing you to launch items as powerful weapons.
Defeat Darth Vader Samurai
Head to Vader Samurai’s Solitude and defeat this boss to earn a unique red lightsaber. This weapon comes with Force Saber Throw, letting you throw the saber like a boomerang.
All Lightsaber Powers
- Force Push (Rey): Blast enemies and obstacles away with a wave of energy.
- Force Pull (Mace Windu): Draw enemies or loot toward you, great for closing gaps or stealing gear.
- Force Lightning (Palpatine): Zap all nearby enemies with electricity.
- Saber Throw (Darth Vader Samurai): Launch your lightsaber and hit targets at range.
- Force Throw (Darth Maul): Use the Force to hurl objects as deadly projectiles.
No matter which lightsaber you use, you’ll get faster sprint speed and double jump, no fall damage, and the ability to deflect incoming blaster shots.
