Fortnite Galactic Battle season brings Captain Phasma to the island as quite a powerful NPC boss. This chrome-armored First Order commander is worth taking down for her powerful loot. In this guide, I will help you find her and give you tips on how to defeat Captain Phasma to get the Mythic F-11D Blaster in the new Fortnite Star Wars season.
Where to Find and How to Defeat Captain Phasma in Fortnite
Captain Phasma is located at the First Order Base in the northern part of the map. You can easily spot this location on your map as it’s marked with Phasma’s medallion icon when you are still up in the Battle Bus. After you land on the First Order Base, the most efficient way to reach her is through the large hangar door at the north end. It will bring you directly to Captain Phasma’s patrol area, and you will only encounter a few Stormtroopers compared to other entrances.
You have to understand that Captain Phasma has approximately 600 health points, making her a challenging opponent in this season. Before confronting Captain Phasma, I recommend you to have at least two or three Blaster Rifles, a med kit, and a red or blue lightsaber if possible. Now, I will break down the battle strategy to beat Captain Phasma:
- Clear out the Stormtroopers first – Take out her bodyguards before engaging Phasma directly.
- Use cover effectively – The hangar has plenty of structures to hide behind.
- Watch for thermal grenades – Phasma throws explosives that deal heavy damage, so keep on moving.
- Alternate between blasters – Switch weapons when they overheat to maintain continuous fire.
- Aim for headshots – They’ll deal more damage and take her down faster.
Captain Phasma doesn’t have great aim with her blaster, but her thermal grenades hit hard if you’re too close. Keep moving, and watch out near the edges of the hangar. If you are getting blasted off, you can even get eliminated because of fall damage.

Defeating Captain Phasma grants you two valuable items. The first one is Captain Phasma’s Mythic F-11D Blaster, which combines the speed of an SMG with the power of an Assault Rifle. This blaster can deal 30 damage per hit with a fast 6.65 fire rate, and most importantly, it has unlimited ammo.
Pair it with Phasma’s Blaster Medallion for even more firepower, as the medallion reduces overheating and speeds up cooldowns for all blaster weapons. Just keep in mind that carrying it reveals your location to other players.
Captain Phasma will remain on the island until the Galactic Battle season ends on June 7th, 2025. So if you failed to eliminate her the first time, try again with this guide on how to defeat Captain Phasma, so you can master this boss fight and get her rewards.
