How to increase your Light and Dark Alignment in Fortnite Chapter 6, Season 3
(Image via Epic Games) Fortnite Chapter 6 , Season 3's Galactic Battle introduces the cosmic tug-of-war, where your choices shape the rewards and the gameplay. The alignment system allows one to pledge to the Dark or the Light side, and to balance the cosmic forces requires more than just luck. It needs a strategy. Here is how you can maximize your progress and reap the biggest perks while influencing your galactic balance. Grind Alignment quests for the cosmic clout NEW COMMUNITY QUEST - How to Progress your Light Or Dark Alignment in Fortnite Star Wars To boost the Light Alignment , partner with the Rebel factions. Land at Rebel Outposts (Light) or Resistance Bases (Dark) for tackling tasks like searching supply chests, traveling 1000 meters, learning Force Push/Pull through Training Rifts, and traveling set distances. For the Dark Alignment , you can side with the Imperial Forces: Raid First Order Bases or the Vader Samurai's Solitude. It will help you collect the bars, eliminate the players, or master the Force Lightning. Every quest, once completed, adds 3,000 XP. It fills the personal Alignment bar. Giving priority to one side early so that focusing on the Dark or Light will streamline progress. For example, grinding the 5 Dark quests will unlock the weekly Progress Alignment mission, which nets an extra 30,000 XP. Defeat the bosses like Captain Phasma or Darth Vader, spike the chosen alignment, and reward the mythic gear while pushing the agenda. Community power and secret perks Your efforts will feed the global Alignment bar that is visible in the quest menu. With the players worldwide completing quests, the collective progress unlocks some perks like Storm Forecast, revealing the future safe zones. The meta-layer encourages teamwork—Dominate an Alignment for swaying the map dynamics, like the loot rates or storm behavior. To complete all 20 Alignment stages per side will net 100,000+ XP and some exclusive rewards. The Dark Side enthusiasts snag aggressive perks like shield boosts, while the Light loyalists gain some defensive edges. Be adaptable, as Epic might drop the new perks with the evolving season. Pro tip: Farm the bars at the faction hubs early in the match to breeze through the quests uncontested. Remember, the alignments are not permanent. Experimenting with both sides will help maximize the XP, but committing completely to one will be best for some endgame advantages. The Force and the victory await those who plan wisely.
