Lightsabers in Fortnite are a fan-favorite weapon, but an extremely rare one too. It's been years since the iconic swords came to the island. To celebrate May The Fourth, or Star Wars Day, Epic Games has finally brought Star Wars lightsabers back into Fortnite with a new set of Star Wars quests and skins. That's right, after almost three whole years, Star Wars is making a triumphant return to Fortnite, and there's a slew of things to do, from going through Stormtrooper training to finding lightsabers scattered across the island.

　　Speaking of finding lightsabers, it should be relatively easy to find one, since they're apparently only returning as floor loot this time. Keep an eye out, as they are relatively small, but their telltale orange glow should make them easier to spot. Naturally, high-density loot areas, such as named locations, will have a higher chance of containing lightsabers.

　　You can find lightsabers scattered across the map, waiting to be found like this.Pick it up and you'll notice it takes up a slot in your inventory as any other weapon does. Not only can you swing it and attack with it, but you can also use it to block incoming shots.
