What are the new map and weapon loot pool changes in Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 3?

Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 3, officially titled “Galactic Battle,” is here with new POIs, weapons, mechanics, and more!

With a Star Wars theme, Chapter 6 Season 3 introduces lightsabers and Force powers, among a whole bunch of other weapons that should’ve been in the game a long time ago (and come from a galaxy far, far away). You can also get a free First Order Stormtrooper outfit.

Here’s everything new in Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 3, including the map, weapons, and more.

Lightsabers are the big addition. When equipped, you’ll sprint faster, be immune to fall damage, and jump twice as high. And if you get a Sith Lightsaber — earned by defeating Darth Vader Samurai — you’ll be able to perform a Force saber throw.

Beyond the lightsaber, though, the following weapons have been added to the Chapter 6 Season 3 loot pool:

What else is new in Chapter 6 Season 3?

Force powers are the single biggest new mechanic in Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 3. By finding holograms of Star Wars characters, you’ll be able to “train” in these abilities — and will also receive a lightsaber. You’ll need to wield a lightsaber to use Force powers, but notably, merely finding a lightsaber (say, by looting it off an enemy) won’t do the trick. You’ll still need to train with holograms first.

A hologram of Rey will reward you with a blue lightsaber and the Force Push ability. A hologram of Palpatine will reward you with a red lightsaber and the Force Lightning ability. More powers and lightsabers will be added later in the season.

Chapter 6 Season 3 will also feature weekly events through the month of May. Here’s the schedule, alongside brief descriptions of what to expect.

May the Force be with you.
