Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 3: Map Updates and Weapon Loot Pool Changes

Okay, so… Fortnite’s at it again with Chapter 6, Season 3. This one’s called “Galactic Battle”—kinda feels like a lightsaber showdown mashed with a free-for-all. Anyway, it’s full of new POIs, weapons, and wild stuff. A personal fave? Lightsabers. Yeah, they made sprinting faster and jumping a breeze.

And, oh man, Star Wars fans must be losing it. You can channel your inner Jedi or Sith with these Force powers, seriously. Some folks say the Force thing’s from a galaxy far, far away. But honestly, every game should’ve had them by now. Also, wanna be a Stormtrooper? There’s an outfit for you. No joke.

Maps, maps, maps. New POIs are scattered all over. Got a bit lost trying to name ’em, but they’re packed with surprises. Running around them feels kind of like finding secret hideaways.

Weapons? Big highlight—lightsabers. Get this, they don’t just look cool; defeat Darth Vader Samurai to snag a Sith Lightsaber. I once tried one… ended up tossing it with the Force. Accidentally, of course.

And hey, vehicles! Two newbies are rolling in. They’re classic—or at least that’s what they say. Looking forward to trying them but knowing me, I’d crash before getting far.

Now, the Force powers… by snatching some character holograms, you train and nab a lightsaber. But here’s the catch: you gotta do the training. Just looting a saber ain’t gonna cut it. Rey’s hologram gifts you a blue saber and a nifty Force Push. Then there’s Palpatine and his red saber plus the Force Lightning—yep, that’s a thing.

And if all that wasn’t enough, weekly events are lined up for May. So much to keep track of.

May the Force be… somewhere around here?
