How to get Darth Vader’s Mythic Lightsaber in Fortnite

You can obtain the Mythic Lightsaber in Fortnite after defeating Darth Vader in combat. This deadly melee weapon allows you to slice through your enemies and deflect attacks, making it ideal for close-range combat.

The main difference between this Lightsaber and the others is that it can also be thrown at other players by simply aiming it and pressing the ‘shoot’ button. So, it also comes in handy when battling enemies from a distance.

Where to find Darth Vader in Fortnite

Darth Vader can be found on Piney Lane, the island located north of Lavish Lair in Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 2. The Star Wars villain will land there in every match, and many players will try to defeat him, so make sure you get there after looting.

How to defeat Darth Vader in Fortnite

To defeat Darth Vader in Fortnite, we recommend landing somewhere near the ship and searching for an E-11 Blaster Rifle or the Wookie Bowcaster. These weapons will come in handy as you’ll want to keep your distance from the Sith lord.

Vader himself puts up quite the fight. He can throw his Lightsaber at you and pull you towards him by using the Force. He’s able to deflect your shots with his Lightsaber, so keep that in mind and try to flank him. He also has stormtroopers guarding him, and it’s recommended to take them out first.

That’s all you need to know to find and defeat Darth Vader in Chapter 5 Season 2. For more Fortnite content, check some of the following guides:
