Want to learn how to kill Darth Vader and get a unique weapon in Fortnite? Darth Vader is a new Fortnite boss character that you need to find and kill to complete a new event task. Killing Darth Vader is not easy, as he has as many as two health bars and several types of attacks. This boss’s attacks are Force-based, so be careful when stepping into battle. To defeat the boss, you need to find him and reduce his health to zero, and in our guide, we will tell you how to do this.

How to Kill Darth Vader in Fortnite

As we said, Darth Vader has a lot of health, which means you need a good weapon and a lot of ammo to kill him.

Unfortunately, Darth Vader only appears once per battle royale. This means you will not have time to look for ammo, as someone else can kill Darth Vader instead of you. So what to do?

To figure it out, it’s worth starting with how to find Darth Vader. Darth Vader is flying in the Battle Bus with you, and you need to be observant to see the moment of his jump. Once Darth Vader has left the bus, follow him.

By the way, Darth Vader always lands on one of the three stormtrooper outposts, so you’ll know exactly where the boss will land.

While chasing the boss, you will find yourself at a stormtrooper outpost. You don’t have a weapon now, but can be easily fixed. Sneak inside the outpost unnoticed and open the Imperial Chests.

Inside the chest will be an E-11 Blaster Rifle. The E-11 Blaster Rifle is a high-damage laser weapon with infinite ammo. This is what you need to fight Darth Vader.

Here’s what you need to do to kill Darth Vader:

  • Shoot Darth Vader to start the fight.
  • Before doing this, make sure that there are shelters nearby where you can hide from the attacks of the boss.
  • Darth Vader attacks with several types of attacks. They’re all based on the Force ability from the original movie series, so getting hit by a few attacks will teach you how to dodge.
  • Next, you need to bring Darth Vader’s health down to zero. The boss has two health bars, so the fight might take a while.
  • As soon as you kill the boss, you will receive Darth Vader’s Mythic Lightsaber.

In addition, by killing the boss, you will complete two event missions, for each of which you will receive 7000 XP.
