AsLego Fortnitelooks to expand into a galaxy far, far away, new items from Star Wars have made their way into the survival crafting mode. Those who’ve proven themselves to be allies to the Rebel Alliance can earn a Lightsaber that deals devastating damage in the game mode, at the cost of a long recharge.

There are many steps before you can earn the weapon, but it’s worth it for the level of damage it deals. To start, you’ll need to ensure the Star Wars crossover has begun in your world with the Empire and Rebel forces appearing through a rift in the sky of your Lego world.

How To Get The Lightsaber

To get the Lightsaber in Fortnite, you’ll first need tofind the Rebel Alliance baseand then help them rebuild their village to at least level six. After Myrna shows up,speak to Captain Bravaraand she’ll give you a lightsaber.

To start with these steps, you’ll need to make sure that the Star Wars event has kicked off on your Lego island. To do this, you’ll need towait for a large blue rift to break through your world’s sky, followed by a collection of Lego Star Wars ships fighting in midair.

Soon after, Captain Bravara will appear,give you a pair of Macrobinoculars,and instruct you to find the Star Wars Lego Island. Using the Macrobinoculars, look for a Rebel symbol nearby that will take you toa cave with Rebel insignias.

Go into the cave and pass through the clear path into the other exit, which willtake you to the Lego Star Wars islandwhere you can help rebuild. Use Macrobinoculars on the new island to find the base and thenupgrade it as you wouldwith your bases on the main island.

Due to its power, the Lightsaber will need to recharge for a period of time after you’ve used all of its energy.

Captain Bravara will appear and instruct you on what steps you need to take at times, but you shouldmainly consult the Village’s totemto upgrade. You’ll unlock the lightsaber after you’vebrought Myrna back to village level six, with Captain Bravara giving you a Lightsaber as a reward.
