Fortnite Chapter 6, Season 3 has reintroduced Lightsabers, offering players three ways to acquire them. Aligning with the Jedi or Sith at Rift locations grants a Lightsaber and Force ability. Alternatively, players can loot them from defeated opponents or challenge Darth Vader at his fortress for his unique Lightsaber with a Force Saber Throw.

Fortnite Chapter 6, Season 3 has brought back Star Wars madness—and yes, that means Lightsabers are back in the spotlight. If you're wondering how to get your hands on one and dominate the battlefield, then this guide is for you!

How to Get a Lightsaber in Fortnite Chapter 6, Season 3?

There are three main ways to get your hands on a Lightsaber in the new season:

1. Choose a Side: Jedi or Sith

The fastest (and arguably coolest) way to get a Lightsaber? Align with the Force.
During a match, keep an eye out for blue or red Rift icons on your map. These mark locations where you can interact with holograms of Rey (Jedi) or Darth Sidious (Sith). Step into the Rift, make your choice, and BOOM—you’re handed a Lightsaber plus a Force ability.

Jedi = Blue Lightsaber + Force Push
Sith = Red Lightsaber + Force Lightning

This isn’t just cosmetic—your Force ability can seriously shift the fight in your favor. Force Push can fling enemies off cliffs, while Lightning zaps them with style.

2. Loot It Off Other Players

If someone’s swinging a Lightsaber around, consider it an open invitation to take them down and yoink their weapon. You won’t always find one this way, but hey—Fortnite’s about taking chances. Just third-party an ongoing duel or sneak up on someone distracted by the glow of their own blade.

3. Defeat Darth Vader

Feel like proving your worth in battle? Darth Vader’s back and holding court at Vader’s Fortress (check your map for a Vader-shaped icon). Take him out, and you’ll be rewarded with his special Lightsaber—complete with a Force Saber Throw move. It’s aggressive, flashy, and perfect for chaotic fights. But beware: other players will be heading there too.

What Can You Do With a Lightsaber?

Once you’ve got one, here’s what you can pull off:

Quick combos: Rapid melee swings.
Block attacks: Just aim or right-click.
Force Jump: Hit jump again while in the air for a boost.
Special Force Ability: Depending on the Lightsaber (Push, Lightning, or Saber Throw).

These aren’t just for show—Lightsabers are deadly in close-range combat, especially if you're aggressive and agile.
Whether you’re channeling your inner Jedi or embracing the dark side, Fortnite’s Lightsabers make every match feel like a Star Wars duel. Just remember: the Force may be with you, but so is the Storm.
