It’s finally here! The galaxy far, far away has crashed into Fortnite with the brand new Galactic Battle season launching May 2nd, 2025. This Star Wars-themed update brings lightsabers, Force powers, iconic locations, and a full Star Wars Battle Pass to the game. Here is the detailed breakdown of everything coming into Fortnite Galactic Battle.

New Map Locations in Fortnite Galactic Battle

The battle between good and evil is playing out across the Battle Royale island with four new major points of interest:

First Order Base

This stronghold sits high on a mountain and holds damaged TIE fighters. There are five ways in, but the utility shaft is the best for sneaking around unnoticed. Captain Phasma is on patrol, and you need to beat her to get her Mythic F-11D Blaster and a medallion that helps your blaster stay cool longer.

Outpost Enclave

A busy smuggler hub where fights often break out, so stay alert. Don’t skip the nearby sandcrawler because it’s packed with useful gear that can give you an early advantage in the game.

Resistance Base

Hidden underground and covered by trees, this is the main Resistance hideout. You’ll find X-wings and gear to fight the First Order. The entrance is hard to see, so watch for small signs of movement nearby.

Vader Samurai’s Solitude

Vader Samurai controls this castle-like fortress, which mixes old Japanese design with Star Wars tech. You’ll need to defeat Stormtrooper Samurai before reaching him. If you win, you get his red lightsaber and a Force ability that lets you throw it.

Lightsabers and Force Powers: Become a Jedi or Sith

Lightsabers aren’t just cool, but they also provide significant gameplay advantages:

  • Sprint faster
  • Jump twice as high
  • Immunity to fall damage
  • Ability to deflect blaster bolts back at enemies

Lightsaber in Fortnite

To get a lightsaber and Force power, you need to train with Star Wars hologram NPCs spread around the map:

TrainerLightsaber ColorForce AbilityEffect
Hologram Rey Blue Force Push Shoves everything in front of you
Hologram Emperor Palpatine Red Force Lightning Deals shocking damage to opponents
Darth Vader Samurai Red Force Saber Throw Throws your lightsaber like a boomerang
Hologram Mace Windu (May 8) Purple Force Pull Pulls objects and players toward you
Hologram Darth Maul (May 8) Red Force Throw Pick up and throw objects as projectiles

Important tip: Force Abilities stay with you, not the lightsaber. If another player takes your lightsaber, they won’t get your Force power. Likewise, if you find a lightsaber on the ground or loot one from a defeated player, you’ll need your own Force training to use the abilities.

The Galactic Battle introduces an all-blaster meta. Here’s what you’ll find in the loot pool:

Starfighter Combat

For the first time, Fortnite is introducing proper space combat with two iconic Star Wars ships:

Imperial TIE Fighter

A fast, single-seat ship with strong blasters. It’s quicker than the X-wing but breaks more easily, making it best for hit-and-run attacks. Found at the First Order Base.

X-Wing

A tough and balanced ship with laser cannons. Not as fast as the TIE Fighter, but it can take more hits. Found at the Resistance Base. Use the throttle to move fast and battle enemy pilots.
