Oh boy, where do I even start with this Fortnite thing? Chapter 6, Season 3, they call it “Galactic Battle” or something. Yeah, it’s all about starry wars or whatever. New places to explore, shinier weapons, and — hold on — mechanics too. Like, I’m supposed to care about jumping higher but who doesn’t love to leap like a Jedi, right?
Anyway, what’s the big deal this time? Lightsabers. Yeah, they finally brought those into the mix. Sprint faster, fall damage is a joke now, jump double — and if you snag a Sith Lightsaber by beating up Darth Vader Samurai (yeah, you heard me), you get to toss that saber like it’s going out of style. Makes me wonder why they didn’t do this sooner, not that I’m a game developer or anything, ha!
Oh! Can’t forget the freebies. Score a First Order Stormtrooper outfit. Not my fashion choice, but hey, some kids might dig it. The whole vibe feels like they raided a galaxy far, far away and dumped it into Fortnite. But, you know, in a cool way.
So, the map’s got its makeover — big whoop, I should probably list those new POIs, but you get the drift. Explore, discover, all that jazz. Oh, and about the weapons, apart from lightsabers, they’ve thrown in a bunch of other stuff but who cares when you can channel the Force, right?
Now, what the heck is up with these Force powers? Random holo-thingies scattered about where you “train” — yeah, like a mini boot camp with Star Wars peeps. You grab a lightsaber after your training montage. Found one lying around? Tough luck. Gotta earn it, champ.
You’ll find Rey handing out blue sabers with the Force Push. Think Jedi yoga, maybe? Palpatine, on the other hand, plays the villain nicely — red sabers and zappy Force Lightning. More to come, but they left that vague. Suspense, maybe.
Extras? Weekly events in May. Sounds thrilling if you can spare the time. So yeah, till I decide to dive back into this galactic chaos, may you always have the Force on your side or something.
