Strap in Starfighter, Star Wars is Taking Over in Fortnite: GALACTIC BATTLE!
A galactic reckoning is coming… Imperial Star Destroyers exit hyperspace in formation around the Death Star, which looms with its superlaser array fixed on the BR map. Heroes from across eras are ready to strike back against the assault led by Emperor Palpatine from the shadows, and the Island’s fate hangs in the balance. Draw your lightsaber and ready your blaster May 2 in Fortnite: GALACTIC BATTLE!
An Imperial Takeover
Driving back the Imperial invasion will take every blaster and ship at your disposal, unless you feel a strong pull to the dark side… Either way, touch down at one of these new locations:
First Order Base
The First Order has claimed a mountaintop to house its imposing base of operations, which includes a hangar for repairing damaged First Order TIE fighters. There are five entrances, but its utility shaft is its main point of weakness and where you’ll find it easiest to sneak in.
Outpost Enclave
There’s an element of danger to the Outpost Enclave, a boisterous hub of smuggler activity where tensions are known to run high. While you’re in the area, check out the interior of the parked sandcrawler nearby.
Vader Samurai’s Solitude
Darth Vader Samurai has seized Shogun’s Solitude and turned it into his own personal fortress. Deal with his stormtrooper samurai guards and you may get the chance to challenge the Sith Lord himself…
The Preferred Weapon of Force Users Everywhere
An elegant weapon for a more civilized age, the use of a lightsaber is the mark of a Jedi though it’s used by their sworn enemies, the Sith, as well. It’s handy for deflecting blaster bolts, and you’ll sprint faster and can double jump with fall damage immunity while brandishing one. Lightsabers are not found but earned — you must train in the Force or, you know, just loot it off another player.
So Anyway, Start Blasting
As far as non-lightsaber weapons go, it’s blasters-only on day one! You’ve got your:
-
Reliable DL-44 Blaster Pistol
-
Heavy CR-2 Blaster (an SMG!)
-
Close-range ACP Scatter Blaster and BARM-ST12 Scatter Blaster
-
Close-to-medium range DLT-19 Blaster Rifle
