After years of waiting, Fortnite players can finally pilot actual Star Wars Starfighters in Chapter 6 Season 3. These iconic starships can completely change your gameplay because they give you combat advantages from above. Here is the guide on how to find X-Wing and TIE Fighter locations in Fortnite’s newest season, the Galactic Battle.
How to Find X-Wing and TIE Fighter Locations in Fortnite Galactic Battle
The battle between the First Order and the Resistance plays out across Fortnite’s island, with each faction having its own base where you can find their signature spacecraft.
TIE Fighter Location
If you are playing solo and in need to eliminate Rebel scum, you would want to hop into this iconic TIE Fighter. To find TIE Fighter, head to the First Order Base in the northeast part of the map or Vader’s Samurai’s Solitude in the southwest.
These locations are typically crowded with players rushing to get their hands on these TIE Fighters, so be prepared for early-game combat.
X-Wing Location
If you are playing in a squad and want to keep the Resistance alive, you would want to look for an X-Wing. You can find X-Wing at the Resistance Base in the northwest region of the island and the Outpost Enclave on the southeast side of the map. There are also several Resistance Outposts where you can find the X-Wings, such as Flooded Frogs, close to Brutal Boxcars, and near The Burd just south of the Resistance Base.
Like the First Order Base, expect heavy competition at both of these Rebel outposts, especially in the early minutes of a match.
