The Imperial Takeover Begins

This season marks the beginning of a new era in Fortnite called the Imperial Takeover. The entire map has been overrun by the Empire, with Star Destroyers and even the Death Star looming overhead. In this Star Wars-dominated phase, the usual Fortnite weapons are gone, replaced entirely by a brand-new Star Wars loadout—and for the first time, all weapons have unlimited ammo.

“The season is basically Battlefront 2 now… all weapons in the game have unlimited ammo.”—Top Five Gaming

One of the key points of interest is the First Order Base, where players can find Captain Phasma. Defeat her, and you’ll earn a medallion that boosts your weapon’s performance, along with her mythic F-11 blaster.

Meanwhile, players can explore the new Resistance Base in the top-left of the map. Here, Poe Dameron (a new battle pass Skin) offers quests and grants players the CR2 Blaster, the only SMG in the current loot pool.

Star Wars Vehicles and Weapons Galore

This season introduces the first-ever Star Wars-themed vehicles: TIE Fighters and X-Wings. Players can take to the skies in epic dogfights while Star Wars music blares, adding cinematic flair to every aerial encounter. You can even bring your friends—up to three can ride on the wings of X-Wings.

“You can literally have Star Wars-themed dogfights and just blast each other out of the sky.”—Top Five Gaming

The new weapon lineup is extensive. Highlights include:

  • ACP Scatter Blaster – A powerful shotgun inspired by the classic pump.
  • BRM ST12 – A faster-firing shotty modeled after the Tactical Shotgun.
  • A280 CF Blaster – A scoped, medium-range blaster ideal for sharpshooting.
  • IQA-11 Marksman Rifle – The season’s sniper with unlimited ammo.

Players can unlock enhanced, mythic versions of these weapons through special quests and POIs, including a trade quest with General Grievous—the season’s secret skin—who offers the mythic sniper in exchange for a lightsaber.

Lightsabers, Force Powers, and Legendary Locations

Yes, lightsabers are back—and with new mechanics. This time around, players must undergo training to unlock Force powers. Speak to a hologram of Rey or Palpatine to choose between Force Push or Force Lightning. But be warned: you can’t inherit powers from a saber you didn’t earn yourself.

Head to Samurai Solitude to challenge Samurai Darth Vader. It’s one of the most intense fights this season, but the reward is worth it—a red lightsaber with the incredible Saber Throw power.

Other key additions include the DLT-19 Blaster (an AR/SMG hybrid), the return of the nostalgic E-11 and DC-15 blasters, and one of the best locations in the game: Outpost Enclave. Modeled after Mos Eisley, it features a full desert biome, a giant sandcrawler, and the iconic Cantina where you can find Han Solo’s DL-44 blaster.

Battle Pass Characters and Future Teasers

This season’s Battle Pass includes Emperor Palpatine, General Grievous, Captain Phasma, and Poe Dameron. There’s also the controversial Wookie Cuddle Team Leader and Apprentice Evie, who comes in both Jedi and Sith variants.

And yes, cosmetics galore—Epic is teaming up with Crocs for themed Grogu and Chewbacca shoes, and even releasing a Star Wars Porsche 911 GT3 RS in-game.

For a bonus reward, players can watch the premiere of a new Star Wars series inside Fortnite and earn the Asajj Ventress loading screen. This might hint at her future arrival as a playable skin.

Fortnite’s Star Wars season has gone above and beyond expectations, offering an immersive galaxy-spanning experience filled with iconic characters, vehicles, and weapons. Whether you’re flying through the skies in a TIE Fighter, battling with a lightsaber, or trading with General Grievous, this is one of the most content-rich mini seasons in Fortnite history. May the Victory Royale be with you.
