On top of that, you'll need a lightsaber to complete many of the new Star Wars-themed quests that grant you access to new skins and loot. Therefore, knowing where to find a lightsaber in the first place is crucial.

To unlock the Sith Apprentice Lightsaber in Fortnite, you'll need to come across a specific sub-section of Force holograms across the island. These are denoted on the mini-map of your HUD via new icons showing the Force ability each one unlocks.
For the Sith Apprentice Lightsaber in particular, you'll need to look for a Force hologram of Darth Maul. Interact with it using your platform's action button, and you'll be pulled into a cutscene as you're transported to a training room in a galaxy far, far away.
