Darth Vader is back in Fortnite Battle Royale as part of a new Star Wars collaboration. While there are no quests related to him yet, he wields the Mythic weapon Darth Vader's Lightsaber, which is excellent for taking on enemies at melee range. Here's where you can find this boss.
Darth Vader Arrives on Fortnite Island
You can find Darth Vader on the island far north of the Fortnite battle royale map, northeast of Rebel's Roost. He will be on the west side of the island, guarded by two Stormtroopers. He has 600 shield and 600 health.
Darth Vader moves slowly, so your best strategy to defeat him is to keep your distance and attack him with long-range weapons like guns and Star Wars weapons. If you stand too far away, he will pull you towards him or occasionally fly towards you. When he does this, your priority should be to run away to avoid getting within his melee range, as he will attack with his lightsaber for massive damage. It is also advisable to have some sort of cover while attacking him, as he can send objects flying towards you if you are within range. You should also be careful not to spend too much ammo, as he will sometimes block projectiles with his lightsaber.
A good tactic to take out Darth Vader is to first secretly check the tents in the area for an E-11 Blaster or a Wookie Bowcaster. This way you have powerful weapons with unlimited ammo to use against him.
