Since the island is quite vast, it can be tricky to uncover everything new when a fresh season begins. It’s a lot easier to know what you’re looking for when you’re already familiar with all of the new content. Here’s everything coming in Fortnite Chapter Six, season three, with the Star Wars Galactic Battle season.

The entire theme of Chapter Six, season three is Star Wars, so all of the content included for this Fortnite season is straight from a galaxy far, far away. This includes new locations, weapons, skins, vehicles, and much more, so here’s a breakdown of the full update patch notes.

Star Wars POIs

There are plenty of map changes for the Star Wars season, including four massive POIs you can venture to around the outer edges of the island. All of the new locations are as follows.

  • Vader Samurai’s Solitude – The fortress of Darth Vader Samurai. If you manage to take out his samurai guards, you can go up against him in battle to claim some powerful loot.
  • Resistance Base – A hidden underground shelter for the rebels. You can find X-wings and useful loot for taking on the First Order around this location.
  • Outpost Enclave – A sandy hub home to lots of smuggler activity. There’s also a sandcrawler you can explore parked nearby.
  • First Order Base – An imposing mountain-top fortress ruled by the First Order. This location has five entrances and a hangar you can explore to find First Order TIE fighters.

Star Wars bosses

There are two bosses you can find around the island, which are Darth Vader Samurai and Captain Phasma. For defeating Captain Phasma, you get to claim Phasma’s Blaster Medallion, which makes blasters last longer before overheating and reduces their cooldown.

More bosses may be added as the season progresses, but to start, only these two are present. Other NPCs like hologram Rey and Palpatine can be interacted with to earn special loot, too.

Star Wars battle pass

The battle pass features five Star Wars skins you can unlock by purchasing it. It also has plenty of cosmetic accessory times to complement them. All of the looks you can acquire from this pass are as follows.

  • Apprentice Evie – Unlocked right away as soon as you get the battle pass.
  • Poe Dameron
  • Emperor Palpatine
  • Wookie Team Leader
  • General Grievous – A secret skin that can’t be unlocked until later in the season.
