Fortnite Star Wars theme season has introduced 5 unique lightsabers and 12 new ranged weapons. Each of these comes with distinct advantages. But Lightsabers this season have stolen the spotlight as they are not just for the show, but they grant double jumps and fall immunity. Each of its types is tied to the unique force abilities.

Blue Lightsaber- earned through Rey’s hologram, it can unleash the Force Push and blast enemies off the cliff.
Red Lightsaber- it comes with Force Lightning ability.
Red Lightsaber- you can earn it by defeating Darth Vader to earn the Lightsaber with the lethal Saber Throw.

The below-mentioned 2 Lightsabers will be available on May 8, 2025.

Red Lightsaber- coming with the Force Throw ability, you can get it from Sith Lord Darth Maul.
Purple Lightsaber- it is Mace Windu’s Lightsaber and comes with the Force Pull ability. Will be available to train soon.

The 12 new ranged weapons available in the new season are,

DL-44 Blaster Pistol- offers mid-range reliable damage
CR-2 Blaster- can shred the opponents like the SMG.
A280-CFE Blaster Rifle
BARM-ST12 Scatter Blaster- it’s a perfect close-range weapon.
ACP Scatter Blaster- best for close-quarters chaos. Delivers the shotgun-like spread damage.
DLT-19 Blaster Rifle- it’s a perfect close-to-medium range weapon.
IQA-11 Marksman Rifle- can snipe the target from afar.
Thermal Imploder- the grenade-like tool can suck the enemies into the explosive vortex. It is perfect to flush out the campers.

There are some weapons that will be available to you from May 15, 2025.

Wookiee Bowcaster
CA-87 Jawa Scatter Blaster
Amban Sniper Rifle- May 22
Dual WESTAR-34 Pistols- May 22

Unvaulted and upcoming weapons

Epic Games have resurrected the fan-favorite Star Wars guns, like the E-11 Blaster (Stormtrooper standard), F-11 (First Order variant), and the DL-15 Heavy Rifle, which is ideal for suppressing fire. The unvaulted weapons balance the nostalgia with a lot of practicality, ensuring they fit seamlessly within the new meta.
Later in the month, some fresh gear drops, such as Chewbacca’s Bowcaster (available from May 15), will charge shots for the explosive bursts. The Mandalorian-themed weapons, available from May 22, include the Amban Sniper for the stealthy takedowns. When paired with the returning Jetpack, it will be perfect for the hit-and-run strategies.
Pro tip: Land at the first Order Bases early on for snagging Mythic F-11D Blaster of Captain Phasma. It overheats slower, but it does mark you on the enemy's radar.
Make sure you avoid multiple Lightsabers, as their powers do not stack. Instead, pair one with the long-range blaster for the balanced loadouts. Drop early in the quieter zones like the Vader Samurai to farm the upgrades without a contest. Then, with the right combo, dominate the Galactic Battle and its ever-evolving warzone.
