Sith Apprentice Lightsaber (Force Saber Throw)
How to Get the Sith Apprentice Lightsaber with Force Saber Throw in Fortnite
- How to Get the Sith Apprentice Lightsaber: Accept training from Darth Vader at Vader Samurai's Solitude after he has been defeated in battle.
One of the two Mythic Sith Apprentice Lightsabers can be found with Darth Vader, and despite the power of this Sith Lord, his lightsaber is lacking somewhat. The only special thing about this lightsaber is that it has the Force Saber Throw, which allows players to throw the lightsaber, and if it hits enemies, that's 70 damage. The length of the throw is rather short, even if the cooldown is a generous 2 seconds, and considering players are vulnerable when they throw the lightsaber since they cannot block, this one is a tad riskier than others.
Jedi Padawan Lightsaber
How to Get the Jedi Padawan Lightsaber with Force Push in Fortnite
- How to Get the Jedi Padawan Lightsaber: Accept training from Rey's Hologram, found at random spots on the map, noted by the blue lightsaber symbol.
The Jedi Padawan Lightsaber might look cool, but it's not the most useful when it comes to a fight. Hitting enemies for 40 damage is great, and the fact that it can deflect a few shots is nice, but it's a standard lightsaber that doesn't offer much protection once players are receiving sustained fire. Additionally, the Jedi Padawan Lightsaber has a Force Push ability which doesn't push players very far nor damage them, so it's best used to keep enemies away and for not much else.
Mythic DL-44 Blaster Pistol
How to Get the Enhanced DL-44 Blaster Pistol in Fortnite
- How to Get the DL-44 Blaser Pistol: Defeat Shogun X at Shogun's Arena, which spawns randomly after the 4th Storm Circle.
- Special effects: Enhanced damage while aiming down sights.

The DL-44 Blaster Pistol is pretty good, as it has limited recoil when it's being aimed or even shot with hipfire. It sounds great, looks great, and feels very satisfying to shoot at long distances for a pretty decent chunk of damage, yet there's a problem. The DL-44 Blaster Pistol takes a while to get, as players will need to wait until the 4th Storm Circle, which is pretty far into the game, and then they will need to draw attention to themselves by fighting the extreme health pool of Shogun X which could cause them to be killed by other players.
Sith Apprentice Lightsaber (Force Lightning)
How to Get the Sith Apprentice Lightsaber with Force Lightning in Fortnite
- How to Get the Sith Apprentice Lightsaber: Accept training from Palpatine's Hologram, found at random spots on the map, noted by the red lightsaber symbol.
Emperor Palpatine has the best lightsaber in Fortnite, providing players with a Sith Apprentice Lightsaber that has the Force Lightning ability attached. While on its own, the Sith Apprentice Lightsaber is just the same as all the others, it's the Force Lightning that makes up for it. With a whopping 18-second cooldown, Force Lightning will crackle and pop enemies for 30 damage per second it's attached, and it can also be used to deactivate vehicles like TIE Fighters and X-Wings.
Mythic IQA-11 Marksman Blaster Rifle
How to Get the Enhanced IQA-11 Marksman Blaster Rifle in Fortnite
- How to Get the IQA-11 Marksman Rifle: Head to the hill northeast of Rolling Blossoms Farm and provide General Grievous with a Jedi Padawan Lightsaber.
- Special effects: Enhanced cooling systems to allow shooting for longer before overheating.

Sniper Rifles are always worth grabbing due to how they can turn the tide of war at a distance, and the IQA-11 Marksman Blaster Rifle is no exception to that fact. This weapon has a great rate of fire and shots that deal plenty of damage. The only real issue with the IQA-11 Marksman Blaster Rifle is that to obtain it, players must wait for Rey's Hologram to spawn, and then they need to be the first ones to grab the Jedi Padawan Lightsaber just so they can exchange it with General Grievous for the gun they seek.
Mythic F-11D Blaster
How to Get the Captain Phasma's F-11D Blaster Rifle in Fortnite
- How to Get the F-11D Blaster: Defeat Captain Phasma, who is found at the First Order Base.
- Special effects: Enhanced fire rate and equip speed.

There's nothing wrong with being the default choice, which is exactly why the F-11D ranks so high as a must-have. The F-11D Blaster is the generic assault rifle of the First Order, but this variant from Captain Phasma provides players with a faster rate of fire and equip speed to make sure it beats out the competition of inferior models.
Mythic A280-CFE Blaster Rifle
How to Get the Enhanced A280-CFE Blaster Rifle in Fortnite
- How to Get the A280-CFE: Complete the Train Heist.
- Special effects: Enhanced critical damage.

The A280-CFE is extremely underrated as a weapon, and the Mythic variant proves just that. Not only is this weapon extremely easy to acquire simply by dropping from the Battle Bus and activating the train heist, but it's a gun that has a scope, which, for a hitscan weapon, is a game changer. The A280-CFE Blaster Rifle dominates the competition with its reliability at medium-range and long-range engagements, and while the recoil might be a tad steep, players can counter it by using the weapon by tapping the trigger instead of holding it for sustained damage.
