Looking for an elegant weapon for a more civilized age? Unleash your inner Jedi (or Sith) with Lightsabers in LEGO Fortnite! This guide details how to find and equip your very own Lightsaber to aid the Rebels in Survival mode or get your creative juices flowing in Sandbox.
How to find and equip Lightsaber in LEGO Fortnite Survival
To get a Lightsaber in LEGO Fortnite, you must level your Rebel Village to Level 6. Captain Bravara will hand you a Blue Lightsaber to destroy Outpost doors previously locked by a Clearance Code.
Featuring their original and iconic sound effects, Lightsabers are powerful melee weapons that can cut down enemies and structures with ease. Just keep in mind that Lightsabers destroy the materials of anything they break. Don’t go swinging that thing around like a Bantha in a cantina.
How to get Green and Red Lightsabers in LEGO Fortnite
If one Lightsaber isn’t enough for you, you can get your fingerless hands on Red and Green Lightsabers by opening the Chest found at the end of an Empire Bunker. The color of the Lightsaber you receive appears to be random.
Empire Bunkers are guarded by extremely deadly AWR troopers, so make sure you’re well-stocked up on healing items and Charms before charging in.
Can you craft Lightsabers in LEGO Fortnite?
Unlike most weapons in LEGO Fortnite, you cannot craft Lightsabers. They can only be unlocked through the method detailed above. The good news is that Lightsabers don’t break! Instead, they need recharging after heavy use.
How to get Lightsabers in LEGO Fortnite Sandbox
If Survival isn’t your thing or you’re only looking to complete the Equip a Lightsaber quest, you can do this in a Sandbox World in just a few seconds.
To equip a Lightsaber in a LEGO Fortnite Sandbox world, follow these steps:
- Click Select World above Play from the LEGO Fortnite menu, then choose a Sandbox World.
- If you don’t have a Sandbox world already, click Create New World and then Create
- Choose any slot and click New World Slot.
- Change Game Mode to Sandbox and select Start.
- Open your Inventory (Tab on PC or Up on the D-Pad for console).
- Select All Items and scroll to the bottom.
- Under the Star Wars category, select any Lightsaber.
- Select Add to add it to your inventory.
- If your Quickbar has an open slot, the Lightsaber will be automatically equipped.
- If your Quickbar is full, drag the Lightsaber to the bottom of your Inventory to equip it.
If ranged weapons are more your style, you can also craft Bowcasters, Blasters, and Detonators using Star Wars materials like Durasteel.
