Darth Vader is the most feared Sith Lord in the galaxy, but a new update may make it easier for Fortnite players to fight him. In honor of Star Wars Day, Fortnite recently added a ton of new content to all of its game modes.
Fans can now build iconic vehicles on a new island in LEGO Fortnite, rock out to classic Star Wars songs in Fortnite Festival, or tear up the tracks in Rocket Racing cars based on Darth Maul and Anakin Skywalker’s Podracer.
In honor of this year’s Star Wars celebrations, the classic Fortnite Battle Royale has also brought back the Darth Vader boss fight from Chapter 3, Season 3 in 2022. Players can now find and battle the infamous Dark Lord of the Sith on the island of Piney Lane.
Due to the powerful Force abilities of the deceased Anakin Skywalker, those who defeat Vader and his small Stormtrooper guard will be able to use his famous red Lightsaber in Fortnite.
It looks like Epic Games agrees with the many Fortnite players who have said that Vader might be too hard to beat.
As Twitter user HYPEX found earlier this week, the Darth Vader boss fight in Fortnite has been made easier after a recent hotfix.
The Sith Apprentice used to have 1,400 health – 700 health and 700 shield – but now he only has 550 health in each bar. Vader now has 1,100 health, which is 300 points less than he did before the latest patch.
Fortnite’s Darth Vader Boss Battle Should Be Easier Now
In Fortnite Battle Royale, players have until May 14 to beat Darth Vader and get his Lightsaber. Many people have thought that this year’s Fortnite Star Wars event isn’t as good as the May 4 Battle Pass in 2023, even though the new events include all of Fortnite’s other game modes.
Due to crashes when used with the Zoidberg Scuttle emote, the Yoda Backbling cosmetic item was recently taken off the Item Shop.
It’s not the first time Fortnite players have faced a difficult boss, and Darth Vader’s reputation as a slayer of so many Jedi in the Star Wars universe makes him an appropriate choice.
There was a big change made because Fortnite players thought this year’s Darth Vader boss fight was too hard. This will affect the rest of the Star Wars celebration event.
