Fortnite's Chapter 6 Season 3 update has crash-landed, and it's
out of this world.
Packed with lightsabers, Force powers, iconic Star Wars locations, and juicy free rewards, 'Galactic Battle' is shaping up to be one of the most cinematic seasons yet. Whether you're here for the gear or just to flex a lightsaber mid-air, here's everything you
really
need to know!
Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 3 Map Changes
Forget the old POIs — four massive new areas have arrived, and they're as dramatic as you'd expect:
First Order Base
: A snowy mountain fortress with TIE Fighters and guarded loot. Great for aggressive plays.
Resistance Base
: Tucked deep into greenery, this one's stealth-central. Go here if you like sneaky rotations.
Outpost Enclave
: Smuggler central. Chaotic, gritty, and full of fast fights.
Vader Samurai's Solitude
: Yes, it's as cool as it sounds. Face off against Darth Vader himself for
mythic rewards.
Each POI offers unique advantages, so rotating between them will give you better loot diversity and tactical leverage.

Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 3 Lightsabers
Lightsabers are back — but this time, they're
evolved
. Depending on who you train with (via in-game holograms), you unlock different lightsaber colors and Force powers:
Blue Lightsaber + Force Push (Train with Rey)
Red Lightsaber + Force Lightning (Train with Palpatine)
Purple Lightsaber + Force Pull (Train with Mace Windu on May 8)
Red Saber + Saber Throw (Defeat Darth Vader Samurai)
Wielding a lightsaber also gives you a speed boost, double jump, and
zero
fall damage. And don't worry — Force abilities stick with
you
, not the weapon. Once you learn them, you're set.
Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 3 New Weapons
If you love blasters, this season's a dream. Here's what you can arm yourself with:
DL-44 Blaster Pistol

— take your pick, each blaster suits a playstyle.
Thermal Imploder
— Not a gun, but this throwable creates a vacuum
and
wrecks builds. Throw it and RUN.
*NEW* VEHICLES in Fortnite GALACTIC BATTLE!
Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 3 Vehicles
Two new flying machines just dropped in:
TIE Fighter
: Fast and aggressive. Great for striking hard and escaping fast.
X-Wing
: Balanced and agile — perfect for map traversal and mid-air dogfights.
You can now rule the sky
and
the ground. Good luck avoiding third parties in this chaos.
