As players dive into the new Galactic Battle season of Fortnite, many are eager to discover the whereabouts of Darth Vader, who has returned as a prominent boss character. This exciting update allows players to recruit Darth Vader to their squad, featuring AI-generated voice lines that enhance the immersive gameplay experience.
Vader’s Exclusive Spawn Location
With the recent Fortnite v35.10 update, players can now locate Darth Vader exclusively at one specific spot on the map:
- Vader Samurai’s Solitude
This location is situated in the southwest region of the Fortnite landscape, marked by a distinctive helmet icon that directs players to Vader’s exact spawning point.
Strategies for Defeating and Recruiting Darth Vader
If you’re looking to recruit Darth Vader, be prepared for a challenging battle. As a boss character, he retains his formidable abilities from previous seasons, including:
- Force Pull
- Lightsaber lunges
- Bullet-reflecting lightsaber moves
Upon successfully defeating him, Darth Vader will create a portal. To complete the recruitment process, interact with him and select the option to learn the Force Saber Throw and Force Jump techniques with your lightsaber. Step into the portal, and you’ll have Vader join your team.
Engaging with AI-Enhanced Darth Vader
After joining your squad, players can engage in conversations with Darth Vader using the Conversational AI feature. To activate this, simply stand close to him and press the designated interaction button shown on your screen (the default key on PC is ‘Y’). You’ll be greeted with responses in the iconic voice of the late James Earl Jones.
It’s important to note that players under the age of 13 must have parental consent to utilize this feature.
