How to get a lightsaber in star wars lego fortnite
Lightsabers have been added to Lego Fortnite with the new Star Wars theme Rebel adventure. Unfortunately you can’t make them, so the short answer is that you get a lightsaber as a gift from Captain Bravara. The longer answer is that you’ll need to upgrade a Rebel Outpost to do this, and that will take some work.
Our Star Wars Lego Fortnite guide explains how buy and equip a lightsaber and all the steps you need to take to get there, including how to find it plastoid and how to obtain it Clearance codes.
Where can you find a Rebel Outpost in Lego Fortnite?

Shortly after seeing an Imperial Star Destroyer burst into your Lego Fortnite world, you will meet each other Captain Bravara.

Talk to her and she’ll give you some macrobinoculars. Use this to make your way to a cave that will lead you into the cave Rebel outpost — you look for a blue rebel symbol (this is the only thing that appears on your new macrobinoculars).

Once you reach the Rebel Outpost, speak to Captain Bravara again. She will walk you through the next few steps you need to do.
Ultimately, you’ll need to upgrade the Rebel Outpost to level 6 and improve its comfort level as you go. You should:
- Level 2: Clear the designated area of all debrisbuild the Rebel Farmto build 3 bedsand collect 5 pumpkins
- Level 3: Place a craft bench and craft 3 short words
- Level 4: Clear the area for the stablebuild the Rebel stablesplace a bed in front Grrraalfand post at least one barn
- Level 5: Defeat 10 stormtroopers and collect 20 plastoid (Luckily stormtroopers drop plastoids when you kill them)
- Level 6: Clear the area for the workshopbuild the Rebel workshopplace a bed in front Myrnna, and post one Rebel workbench

Once you get the rebel outpost to level 6, Captain Bravara will throw you a lightsaber. Lightsabers don’t break in Lego Fortnite, but they do need to charge for about 10 minutes if you drain their energy.

The other thing Captain Bravara gives you to get the Rebel Outpost to level 6 is Clearnace codes for roof rack bunkers (which are actually just caves). Use your macrobinoculars to find them and then go inside (a lightsaber will also just destroy the bunker doors).

Inside you will find three areas separated by red beam shields. In each area you must defeat a wave of stormtroopers before you can move on to the next. The third area also has a particularly annoying one AWR trooper (aka a Death Trooper).

Once all three waves have been defeated, a final beam shield will open, leading you to a room with several chests. One of them – the larger, glowing Star Wars-like one – will have some loot, along with a new one lightsaber.
