Your attacks land when he’s doing something other than blocking. The problem is: This can include throwing objects using the Force.
So Vader can also harm you from a distance. Moreover, he likes to throw his red lightsaber at you.
Lastly, Vader can bridge distances by using a Force jump or by simply pulling you closer with the Force. And in close combat, there’s little that can stand against his lightsaber.
Overall, Vader is a suitably powerful boss in Fortnite – not as unbeatable as in Fallen Order, but still a challenge. However, you have a real chance if you can rely on enough weapons and a good position. That is not easy, though.
A popular landing point: At least right now, shortly after the update, Vader is a popular target – because if you defeat him, you get his lightsaber and some offensive abilities. The problem is: Everyone wants that right now.
Accordingly, it is currently quite crowded wherever Vader lands. In the chaos, you have to deal not only with the stormtroopers and Vader but also with your fellow players. It can be tough to get your hands on weapons – and you really don’t want to fight Vader without a weapon.
Furthermore, Vader can also throw a streetlamp at your head while you’re trying to figure out who’s shooting you in the back. In short, anyone flying directly at Darth Vader should expect a quick demise.
Darth Vader is not the only crossover in Fortnite at the moment. The ninjas from the world of Naruto are also back in the game – and there are gifts from Naruto in Fortnite.
With Darth Vader, the island in Fortnite has a new boss. And the Sith Lord doesn’t mess around when you attack him.
It has been over 45 years since Darth Vader first instilled fear in the galaxy in “Star Wars.” To this day, the myth has only grown larger: in movies, but also in games, comics, books, and pretty much every other media format, the dark lord has reappeared time and time again.
The last few years have been no exception. The final scene in “Rogue One,” the impressive appearance in the game “Jedi: Fallen Order,” and his presence in the new Kenobi series all primarily showcase Vader as a relentless killing machine who rarely shows mercy.
Now, Darth Vader has also appeared in the usually colorful world of Fortnite and was immediately mocked for having a strange stick instead of his iconic lightsaber in the Battle Pass.
But since the new patch 21.10, Vader has also been roaming the island as a boss. And he not only has his lightsaber, but he also knows how to use it.
If you don’t take down Vader, the other players will
This is how Vader fights in Fortnite: Darth Vader does not have a fixed location on the map but flies to a new point on the island in each match. Pay attention right from the start to the imperial ship that passes by the Battle Bus – then you’ll see where Vader lands. His location is also marked by a light signal.
At the landing point, Vader doesn’t appear alone but is accompanied by four stormtroopers. They are, of course, after you – but you shouldn’t lose sight of Vader himself.
As befits Vader, he doesn’t run around like a madman but strides menacingly towards you. So you have a good view of him. However, that only helps to a limited extent since he can block your shots with his lightsaber.
