The First Order invaded Fortnite, and they brought their rather beautiful Blasters with them. Now that the main Star Wars event has ended, the Star Wars challenges have begun. This will give you a chance to engage with Star Wars otherwise, use Lightsaber, First Order Blaster, and generally have fun. You can earn a Banner Icon, First Order Bling Back, and the Jedi Training Emote.
Fortnite Blaster Rifle locationsOne of the challenges is to deal damage with a First Order Blaster Rifle to other players or to First Order Stormtroopers. To find a First Order Blaster, head to one of the points marked on the map above. These are The TIE Fighter crash sites and will be swarming with First Order Stormtroopers. When you kill one of The Stormtroopers, he drops a First Order Blaster Rifle.
You can find the crash sites south of Steamy Stacks, another one north of Retail Row, south of Slurpy Swamp, just southwest of Sweat Sands, and east of Salty Springs. Be careful, as the First Order Stormtroopers are pretty tough and they will kill you. You can also take a lot of damage, making it easy for you to pick another player if you're unlucky.
Once you have your First Order Blaster Rifles, just start fighting. Stromtroopers or other players count towards the challenge. It's also a three-stage challenge, with increased damage with each stage, so make sure you kill plenty of enemies.
While you're in the area, don't forget to raise your banner at the TIE Fighter Crash site for any of the other challenges. If you need help finding a Lightsaber in the game, we have a guide for that as well.
