Fortnite Lightsaber Locations

Players can find a lightsaber by finding locations that have a blue chest. This blue chest is the only thing that will grant players with this iconic Star Wars weapon to use in their fight for a Victory Royale. However, the locations where you can find these blue chests are randomized every match.

You may find that one area that had a blue chest in one game does not have one in the next game. This randomness means individuals will have to pray to be blessed and easily find one of the blue chests when they are playing in each game from now on. 

The new Star Wars weapons are mighty, so you will not be disappointed if you take the time to find one of the blue chests in the battle royale title to find a lightsaber for your inventory.
