Darth Vader Samurai Location in Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 3
In Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 3, Darth Vader Samurai is located in the Vader Samurai’s Solitude area. This is where you could previously find the Shogun boss. When you are on the Battle Bus, open your map and look for the Darth Vader helmet and mark it. You must cross the Canyon Crossing to find this location.
Avoiding his royal guard will be difficult, so there are no right tips and tricks to locate him. The Imperial Stormtroopers are swarming the area, so stealth is not an option. Once you go through them, you will find Darth Vader Samurai at the top of the castle grounds. Unlike Captain Phasma, he mostly stays behind his troops.
How to Defeat Darth Vader Samurai in Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 3
Defeating the Darth Vader Samurai boss in Fortnite Star Wars season is one of the most challenging tasks. First, bullets will simply ricochet off Darth Vader, making almost all your Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 3 weapons useless. Thankfully, there is a way to bypass this.
For starters, use the shotgun blasters like Close-range ACP Scatter Blaster and BARM-ST12 Scatter Blaster. Although Vader can deflect their damage too, their impact is much harder, which helps you chunk down the massive HP bar. Moreover, you will need constant shield replenishment. To keep up with that, you can defeat the nearby stormtroopers and pick up shield jars.
Furthermore, lightsabers are great against Darth Vader, so get one first before visiting the Samurai Solitude. Most of Vader’s damage is not too hard, except for the Force jump and lightsaber throw. Keep your reflex buttons ready to stay away from them. Once you find and defeat Darth Vader Samurai in Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 3, you can learn the Force jump and lightsaber throw.
That’s how you can beat Darth Vader in Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 3. Have you encountered the boss fight yet on the new Fortnite map? Do tell us in the comments below.
