Chewbacca location in Fortnite Star Wars Galactic Battle
Chewbacca hasthree possible spawn locations, all of which are near the western end of the island. The three spots you may find him engaged in battle at are all ImperialOutposts. Their precise locations are as follows.
Since Chewbacca always spawns at one of these three locations, it’s best to head to the southwest end of the island straight from the battle bus whenever you’re searching for him. The only time you’ll find him elsewhere is when he’s been recruited by other players.
How to recruit Chewbacca in Fortnite Star Wars Galactic Battle
Once you know where Chewbacca is, you’re able to get to work recruiting him bydefeating all theStormtroopershanging around the Imperial Outpost he’s at. On average, there are usually around two to three of these enemies to fight.
Chewbacca lets out a cheerful war cry as soon as all Stormtroopers have been eliminated, then he starts following you around as an officially hiredNPC. He fights by your side as long as you’re both alive and occasionally drops useful items like shield potions.
Only the first player who saves Chewbacca in each round unlocks him as a companion. This means you generally want to head straight for his location from the battle bus. you may’t always see the blue smoke from way up high in the sky, so just gradually glide through the air towards the southwest end of the island until you spot it.
All Imperial Outposts generally have a few chests you can loot, so once you’re at one, grab aweapon, then get shooting as soon as possible. Stormtroopers have terrible aim, and they’re usually more focused on Chewbacca than you, so you don’t need much to take them out. Chewbacca also rewards you with a LegendaryWookiee Bowcasterafter you help him out, so you’ll get another weapon pretty quickly.
If you’re not sure what to do after recruiting Chewbacca, there are plenty of other quests you can tackle around the island. Next, you might completeJar Jar Binks’ story quests,unlock General Grievous, and work on yourAlignment.
