Where to find Darth Vader in Fortnite
Darth Vader will appear in a random place on the Fortnite map at the start of every match, but you can easily track him, waiting in the battle bus until the big spaceship passes you.
Once this happens, leave the battle bus and follow it to the ground. The spaceship will not be marked on the map, but you will be able to spot it from a distance as it will emit blue glow.
Be careful when you land as Darth Vader will also be accompanied by two stormtroopers who will also attack you on the spot, so this time there are three enemies to worry about.
How to beat Darth Vader in Fortnite
As with all boss fights in Fortnite, defeating Darth Vader will not be easy. He has two huge health bars to deplete them, as well as intense attack patterns up his sleeve, including using force to stop you and your flight.
The best approach is to land nearby, find a weapon, and then stealthily use it, to destroy the stormtroopers. Then you can steal them E-11 Blaster Rifle, which is a powerful laser cannon with unlimited ammo.
It's the perfect weapon to take down Darth Vader, especially since you don't have to worry about running out of ammo. Aim for the head and also make sure you have cover nearby if you feel like you need a breather.
It was easier for us to defeat Darth Vader when he was already distracted by another player. This meant we had free rein to aim bullets at him, lower his health, and then quickly take his lightsaber.
How to Use Darth Vader's Mythical Lightsaber in Fortnite
Once you defeat Darth Vader, he will drop his lightsaber. This weapon works similarly to regular lightsabers in the game, allowing you to deal melee damage as well as block incoming bullets.
The big difference is that you can also throw Darth Vader's lightsaber at other players by aiming and pressing the "shoot" button, which gives you the opportunity to deal not bad damage at a long distance.
