Fortnite: How to Find and Use a Lightsaber, Pickaxe Lightsaber?
Butcher79
We're going to look at ways to get a lightsaber in Fortnite Star Wars along with a hint that we might be able to get a lightsaber pickaxe.
Lightsabers have just been added to the game right after the live Star Wars event, which showcased the flight of a spaceship right in the game, as well as an exclusive video clip from the movie. It was a fun event, even with huge communication and server issues that kept thousands of people out of the game. Now that the event has ended, you can find yourself a lightsaber that you can grab and slash your opponent to pieces with. Not only that, you can block incoming damage, making it quite a formidable weapon once you get your hands on it!
HOW TO GET THE LIGHTSABER
If you want to complete multiple Star Wars challenges that involve a lightsaber, you will need to search for a specific chest. You can get a lightsaber by opening a glowing blue chest that can be found all over the map where treasure chests usually spawn. They are quite hard to find, so keep an eye out for the blue glow as you dig around.
All four different types of lightsabers drop from the chest, so you can choose the color you want (options shown below).
HOW TO USE A LIGHTSABER
They are pretty easy to use, you just press the attack button to slash. If you keep swinging it, on the third swing you'll do a slam attack that does 150 damage if you catch someone with it! You can also block damage with the aim button (usually right click or left trigger). As long as you are facing your opponent when they fire bullets at you, you will block those projectiles. Notice I said bullets! That's because you can't block a rocket, so don't get caught trying to do it!
There is one more thing you can do and that is the combat roll. To do this, you need to press the lock and then press the jump key. You will roll in the direction you were heading, which means you can roll forward, left, right, or backward. You can even jump throw if you do it in the air!
LIGHTSABER OPTIONS
There are currently four variants of lightsabers in the game that you can find and use on the battlefield. You have blue Rey, purple Mace Windu, green Luke, and Kylo Ren's red lightsabers to choose from. Each one is visually different, but they all work the same way!
HOW TO GET A LIGHTSABER IN CREATIVE MODE
If you're looking for a lightsaber in creative right now, then you're out of luck, unfortunately. You cannot add them to the game or find them in the playground. Hopefully we'll get access to them in the near future, but since this is part of a special event, it may only be for a limited time. We'll update this post with any information we find out if this happens!
PICKAXE LIGHTSABER
I know that everyone is very worried about whether the Kirk, which is the Lightsaber, will appear, but at the moment it is not clear if this will happen. Due to their being in the game as weapons, it makes me think they won't end up being a purchasable harvesting tool.
