Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 3 patch notes: Star Wars has arrives

by

Perfect timing for May 4th, Star Wars is invading Fortnite during Chapter 6 Season 3! This brief season, lasting only 35 days, will bring significant modifications to Fortnite, featuring updated maps, novel items and mechanisms, as well as a plethora of fresh Star Wars-themed items for your inventory over the ensuing month.

We’ll summarize the key updates from the latest news cycle, ensuring you’re well-informed when you return for your first online session.

Map Changes

Just as we usually see at the start of a new season, the Map for Chapter 6 has experienced significant alterations, introducing four fresh Points of Interest located at each corner. If you haven’t figured it out yet, these unique spots have a Star Wars theme.

The First Order Outpost is perched high upon a mountain in the northeastern region, boasting numerous entry points that facilitate simple infiltration.

As a gamer, I’ve found myself drawn to the bustling heart of smuggler activity – the Outpost Enclave nestled in the southeastern region. Here, there’s a colossal Sandcrawler waiting for me to step aboard and explore its hidden depths.

The Resistance Base in the northwest is underground, but contains a whole bunch of useful hear.

Ultimately, the solitary Samurai setting of Vader (this season’s portrayal) transforms a current Point of Interest in Chapter 6 into a distinctive stronghold exclusively for this samurai-themed version of Darth Vader.

New Battle Pass

A notable aspect of the upcoming short season is the introduction of the new Battle Pass. Since it’s a shorter duration, fewer character skins are included to ensure you have ample time to uncover them all. Consequently, the main Battle Pass offers four primary skins (each with alternative styles), and one secret skin that can be unlocked through quests within a few weeks.

Lightsabers and Force abilities

This season, Lightsabers have returned, accompanied by Force Lightning/Force Push as available weapons. Lightsabers possess immense power, capable of deflecting incoming bullets, significantly increasing speed, and rendering the user immune to fall damage, all while functioning as an exceptionally potent melee weapon.

This holiday season, the sole method of acquiring a Lightsaber involves locating a holographic image of either Rey or Emperor Palpatine. Working with Rey grants you the skill of Force Push, while learning from the Emperor allows you to master Force Lightning.

TIE Fighters and X-Wings

In Fortnite, you can engage in airborne combat similar to aerial dogfights, thanks to the addition of both TIE Fighters and X-Wings. These speedy spacecraft come equipped with built-in laser cannons, making for thrilling confrontations. However, let’s not ponder too much about how these spaceships manage to function so seamlessly within our atmosphere.

Blasters only

Currently, as a die-hard Fortnite fan, I’m excited to share that while we eagerly await the arrival of unique weapons this season, for now, all the standard guns in the game have been swapped out for blaster variants. Here’s the complete rundown of the available weaponry right now:

1. Pumpkin Blaster
2. Sparkle Blaster
3. Bumblebee Blaster
4. Candy Corn Blaster
5. Ghost Trap Blaster
6. Boogie Bomb Blaster
7. Scarecrow Scythe
8. Shadow Bomb
9. Pumpkin Launcher
10. Boom Sickles (Harvesting Tool)
