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.

Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 3 weapons and items
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.
