Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 3: General Grievous location guide

The Galactic Battle update of Fortnite introduces General Grievous, the feared Specialist General. As a menacing Separatist leader, the cyborg warlord offers unique services to the Dark Side followers. While he might not be available immediately to the players, the arrival of the general brings in some unique challenges and rewards. Here is how to locate him, unlock the arsenal, and dominate the battlefield.

General Grievous can be found northwest of Seaport City, near vibrant Rainbow Fields. The area is marked with the scattered Imperial structures and the clear vantage point that is perfect for the strategic mastermind. Land at the nearby landmarks like the Rebel Outposts or the Brutal Boxcars could provide quicker access to the weapons before confronting him.
Being the Dark Side aligned NPC, General Grievous offers some exclusive services. Trade the shields for health (requires a high Dark Side alignment)—ideal for the aggressive players or just purchase the Shield Bubble Juniors, 120 Bars each, for fortifying the defenses. Make sure to approach with caution, as the hilltop perch attracts rival players who are eager to claim the loot.


Grievous will become available on May 15, 2025, for the Galactic Battle Pass owners. To unlock the skin, complete the faction-specific quests after the release. The missions likely include wielding lightsabers, scavenging the rare tech, or eliminating the foes in the First Order territories— aligning with the story as the Jedi hunter.
The cosmetic set includes 14 items like themed back bling and emotes echoing the sinister laugh. While the LEGO design of the General is not classic, it retains the iconic four-arm silhouette.
Pro tip: Stockpile the Bars and XP boost to expedite the quest progress and secure the rewards on day one.

To access all the services, complete the Dark Side Alignment quests first. It includes eliminating the players at the Vader Samurai’s Solitude or collecting the Bars at the Imperial outposts.
His shield exchange is crucial in the late-game scenarios. Trade health when you are stocked on the medkits but are in need of instant protection. The Shield Bubbles offer mobile cover to push the enemies or to revive the teammates.
Remember, while Grievous will not attack you, the other players will certainly do. So, approach with complete caution. Consider bringing backup. This is not the Jedi Temple, but the danger here is just as real.
Remember that General Grievous is not just the skin but a strategic asset. So, secure his location early on for the shield trades and then grind the quests for wielding the legacy. Whether you are the Sith loyalist or just a collector, the cyborg general is the fine addition to either locker.
