Fortnite: How to Get Chewbacca's Wookiee Bowcaster

The Fortnite x Star Wars crossover event brings new content to the game, just in time for May 4th, 2024. Both Star Wars and Fortnite fans are so hyped up for the new items, especially Chewbacca's Wookiee Bowcaster, a powerful Mythic weapon. This guide explains how to get Chewbacca's Wookie Bowcaster and unleash its power on the battlefield.

How to Get the Wookiee Bowcaster: Rescue Chewbacca

To get your hands on the Wookiee Bowcaster, you must first rescue Chewbacca from the clutches of the Empire. Chewbacca is being held captive at various Imperial Roadblocks scattered across the map. These locations change daily, so keep an eye out for the furry hero.

Once you've located the correct Imperial Roadblock, eliminate the Stormtroopers guarding Chewbacca. After freeing him, Chewie will gratefully join your squad as an NPC ally and reward you with his signature Bowcaster.

Getting the Wookie Bowcaster in Imperial Chests

If rescuing Chewbacca is too difficult for you, there's another way to acquire the Wookiee Bowcaster in Fortnite x Star Wars. The weapon can also be found inside Imperial Chests at the Imperial Roadblocks. However, these chests may contain other special items like E-11 Blasters instead of the Bowcaster, so it's a bit of a gamble.

How to Use the Wookiee Bowcaster in Fortnite

The Wookiee Bowcaster has two firing modes to suit different situations in Fortnite. You can tap the fire button for quick, precise shots with individual quarrels. If you want the second firing mode, you just need to hold the fire button to charge up an explosive shot for dealing with tougher enemies or groups.

Darth Vader, the iconic Sith Lord, has also made his return to the Fortnite island as part of the Star Wars crossover event. You can find him landing in one of three designated zones using his Lambda Shuttle.

If you are brave enough to defeat Darth Vader in battle, you will be rewarded with his legendary Red Lightsaber. You will get the ability to perform standard attacks, deflect incoming shots, and even throw the Lightsaber like a boomerang.

The Fortnite x Star Wars collaboration surely delivers a thrilling experience for both fans of the universes! Have you tried to defeat the Empiere in Fortnite?
