Want to know how to get your hands on the new Wookie Bowcaster in Fortnite? Then this guide is for you.
With the arrival of patch 29.40, fans will get to experience a brand-new Star Wars collaboration - the biggest one to date as it includes content for other modes such Fortnite Festival and Lego Fortnite.
Of course, battle royale remains one of the main attractions, with plenty of skins to collect such as the new Chewbacca or Lando Calrissian outfit, quests to collect, and weapons to obtain.
One of the shiny new toys BR players will get to play with is the Wookie Bowcaster, a powerful tool that's the signature weapon of Chewie himself. So if you're keen on acquiring it, here's how to do it.
Wookie Bowcaster in Fortnite - How To Get
There are two ways of getting your hands on this explosive unique crossbow during the Star Wars event. The first and most difficult one, but arguably the most fun way of getting it as well, is by saving Chewbacca.
As we've explained in our guide, you'll have to find Chewie at one of the Imperial Roadblocks set up by the Empire around the Fortnite island. On top of getting the Wookie Bowcaster, you'll enlist Chewbacca as your ally for the remainder of that match.
If you end up at an Imperial Roadblock in which Chewie isn't being held captive, don't worry, the Wookie Bowcaster can still be found inside Imperial Chests. Han Solo's furry friend will be sad you didn't rescue him but at least you'll get something to remember him by.
Wookie Bowcaster in Fortnite - How To Use
The Wookie Bowcaster is a powerful and versatile weapon in Fortnite as it has two firing modes. There's a somewhat standard default mode that shoots individual quarrels quickly, similar to a blaster, but there's also a secondary fire, which sees the bowcaster charge a shot that ends in a massive explosion upon impact.
So there you have it! Now you know how to get and use the Wookie Bowcaster in Fortnite. For more content, check out how to find every Mending Machine on the island so you never run out of health packs.
