Han Solo isn’t easily swayed, and convincing him to join your cause requires quite a bit of effort in Fortnite’s Star Wars Galactic Battle season. To unlock him as an ally, you need to complete Han Solo’s story quests.
Han’s got some big tasks for you to tackle before he’s willing to fight by your side. If you want to convince him to help out, you need to know how to complete all of Han Solo’s story quests in Fortnite.

All Han Solo story quests in Fortnite Star Wars Galactic Battle
Han Solo has four story quests to complete to get him on your side in Fortnite. Two of these quests are quite straightforward and only require you to talk with him, so it’s the other two that can be a bit tricky to get done. The four tasks you need to finish are:
- Meet Han Solo.
- Damage structures from beyond 22 meters away.
- Defeat Stormtroopers.
- Recruit Han Solo.
Meet Han Solo in Fortnite
To unlock his story quests, you need to meet and talk with Han Solo. The process for completing all story quests in the Star Wars season is a bit unique, so before you can work on any of them, you first need to discover and complete story quests.
You can find the Han Solo NPC hanging around the inside of the central cantina at Outpost Enclave. He wanders around the building a bit, but he can always be found inside. Interact with him and select the option marked by a white diamond icon to start his quests.
Damage structures from beyond 22 meters away in Fortnite
Han’s first task for you is to damage structures from beyond 22 meters away. This is a pretty flexible quest, so it’s entirely up to you how you choose to get it done. Most weapons work pretty well for this task, but so do certain vehicles.
I chose to complete this task using Mace Windu’s training to fully dismantle a BURD To Go location. All force abilities can be used to complete this task, so if you manage to get to a Training Rift Gate, you can use the skills you learn to get this task done. Flying vehicles like TIE Fighters and X-Wings also have powerful guns that deal lots of damage from far away and work well for this task.
If you’re not having any luck finding the fancier Star Wars weapons and loot, you can use any regular weapons you come across. It can be tough to figure out how far away 22 meters is, but it’s closer than you think. You can use the image above for a rough estimate of how far away you need to be.
Defeat Stormtroopers in Fortnite
Han’s next quest is for you to defeat five Stormtroopers so he can see what you’re capable of. Just as they are in all Star Wars content, Stormtroopers are terrible shots, so fighting them is fairly easy.
Finding them is a bit trickier, though, especially if you don’t know where to look. There are eight locations you can visit to find Stormtroopers around the island in Fortnite.
- North of Outlaw Oasis.
- West of Crime City.
- South of Crime City.
- All around Vader Samurai’s Solitude.
- North of Magic Mosses.
- Near the west end of Pumped Power.
- All around the First Order Base.
- South of the First Order Base.
Not all of these locations have five Stormtroopers hanging around, so it’s best to visit either Vader Samurai Solitude or the First Order Base if you’re hoping to get this task done in one go. All Stormtroopers will turn hostile against you when they see you take one out, so be ready for a fight.
Recruit Han Solo in Fortnite
Now that you’ve proven yourself to him, it’s time to recruit Han Solo. Return to him at the cantina in the central region of the Outpost Enclave and chat with him to finish this task and all of his story quests. Next, consider working on all of Leia Organa’s story quests and all of Luke Skywalker’s story quests.
