The powers of a Sith Lord are within reach thanks to Fortnite x Star Wars' epic season, where players can grab Darth Vader's lightsaber and learn abilities that some consider to be unnatural. Unlocking further powers with the Dark Side and swinging around a red lightsaber is a blast in Fortnite, but there's only one way to get this Sith Apprentice Lightsaber.

If players want to get Darth Vader's Lightsaber and learn how they can throw it to hit enemies that are too far away to reach with a swing or a blaster, then look below to discover the true power of the Dark Side in Fortnite.

How to Get Darth Vader's Lightsaber in Fortnite

Darth Vader's version of the Sith Apprentice Lightsaber can be acquired by defeating Darth Vader at Vader Samurai's Solitude, the POI situated in the bottom left corner of the Battle Royale map. Once Darth Vader has been defeated through his boss fight, players will be able to interact with him and accept his teachings to obtain a red lightsaber and learn the Force Saber Throw and Force Jump.

Despite this exclusive Darth Vader lightsaber, the appearance and name are simply the Sith Apprentice Lightsaber, and it works identically to Palpatine's lightsaber and Rey's lightsaber. This lightsaber deals 40 points of damage per hit and can block blaster fire, but it's the only variant with the Force Saber Throw ability.

How to Learn Force Saber Throw in Fortnite

The Force Saber Throw ability can only be learned through training as a Sith Apprentice with Darth Vader, at Vader Samurai's Solitude. Once Vader has been defeated, players can interact with Darth Vader to receive his training, and now, with the Sith Apprentice Lightsaber, players can hold Block (Right-Click/L2/LT) and then press Left-Click/R2/RT to use the Force Saber Throw, which will see players hurl their lightsaber forward. The Force Saber Throw ability hits for 70 points of damage and has a 2-second cooldown.
