Darth Vader Location
During one of the lastStar Warsevents inFortnite, Darth Vader would land on the Battle Royale island on a loud ship that made it clear where gamers could find him, but that is no longer the case.
To find Darth Vader inFortnitein Chapter 5 Season 2, players have tohead to Piney Lane, the small island north of Lavish Lair. Here, they will spot the Sith lord, protected by a couple of Stormtroopers as usual.
How To Defeat Darth Vader
Darth Vader can be a tough boss to take down inFortnite. He’s accompanied by two Stormtroopers, and they won’t miss their shots as much as one would think. On top of this, it’s very likely that enemy players will also land by Darth Vader’s spawning location, especially during the first few days of theStar Warsevent.
Thanks to his mastery of the force, he can throw objects and pull players in closer before hitting them with his melee. On top of this, Darth Vader uses his Lightsaber to deflect incoming fire, soplayers must wait until he throws his lightsaber before attempting to deal damage- this information is key to dealing damage to this boss.
Unfortunately, Darth Vader no longer spawns in Team Rumble, so gamers can’t take advantage of this game mode to try and take him down.
If you want to land near Darth Vader’s location and attempt to take him down at the start of the match, the best way is to land on the shore of the beach on the northside of Piney Lane to gather some loot and shields and then head towards the Imperial landmark.
