The Fortnite universe is again merging with the Star Wars galaxies in the latest v26.20 Ahsoka Tano update.
Fortnite players can anticipate The Unknown Ahsoka Tano Rewards, which, as the name suggests, will bring forth special rewards themed around the iconic Jedi, Ahsoka Tano. This integration comes with various quests, challenging players to gain shields, being the first to open a chest, securing the initial elimination, and, for the more adventurous, surviving the unforgiving storms.
And yes, for Star Wars fans, the thrilling return of lightsabers and the opportunity to deal melee damage. Alongside, expect interactions with Star Wars Rift Gates, which could bestow upon players the dual gift of a lightsaber and a force power.
For players concerned about in-game glitches, the team is addressing several issues. These include the sometimes invisible yellow beam from security cameras, tournament scoring mishaps, and a peculiar issue where players might suffer fall damage upon landing on a Crash Pad Jr.
Fortnite v26.20 Patch Notes
In v26.20, Ahsoka Tano appears on the Battle Royale Island in hologram form, awaiting to train you in the ways of the Jedi. Accept her offer to train you to proceed into a rift, then return to the Island wielding the white Jedi Training Lightsaber! With this lightsaber equipped, use the Force abilities that Ahsoka taught you.
Ahsoka’s not just appearing in hologram form — the Ahsoka Tano Outfit becomes unlockable in the purchasable Chapter 4 Season 4 Battle Pass on September 26 at 9 AM ET! Give your squad hope in even their darkest times.
A NEW DAY, A NEW BEGINNING: GAIN FORCE ABILITIES
When you encounter a hologram of Ahsoka Tano on the Island, speak to her and accept her offer to train you. You’ll then enter a rift, and exit with a Jedi Training Lightsaber and knowledge of Force abilities! These Force abilities can only be used if you went through Ahsoka’s training and are actively wielding a Jedi Training Lightsaber. Your knowledge of these abilities will last until the end of the match.
The Jedi Training Lightsaber: the weapon of a Jedi trainee, wielded by those who have chosen to embrace the light side of the Force.
FORCE ABILITIES FROM AHSOKA TANO
- Use the Force to sprint faster and double jump.
- Use the Force to push objects and players away.
The Ahsoka Tano holograms, Jedi Training Lightsaber, and Force abilities will remain in Battle Royale until v26.30.
