Fortnite's Star Wars crossover has arrived, and along with the familiar Darth Vader returning to the Battle Royale action, everyone's favorite wookie, Chewbacca has also joined the fun. Unfortunately for our furry friend, he's been captured, and so if you want to recruit him, you'll have to find and rescue him.
Where to find Chewbacca in Fortnite
Chewbacca's location will be marked with blue smoke at the beginning of each match. You can see it while flying over the island in the battle bus and after you jump out. I have shown this in the screenshot I took below.
The location will change each match, but Chewbacca will be at one of the Imperial Roadblocks that were added to the map as part of the Fortnite x Star Wars crossover event. Don't worry too much about knowing where everyone is. As long as you spot and go to the blue smoke, you can find it.
Saving Chewbacca
To save the wookie, you'll need to eliminate all the Stormtroopers guarding the Imperial Roadblock he's at. The easiest way I found to do this was to open the Imperial Chest inside the roadblock building itself and grab the E-11 Explosive. It has good fire and does decent damage, so you can take them out easily.
Remember that you will have to be quick. Many players are currently going to the blue smoke-marked roadblock. I had to take out a few other players who landed there too.
After you've taken out the Stormtroopers and any other players, you'll walk up to Chewbacca and he'll throw a Wookie Bowcaster on the floor. Take it, and start walking away from the roadblock and he will start following you.
If you want an example video, I've included a clip of me rescuing Chewy below.
For more on Fortnite's Star Wars crossover, we've got you covered. It wasn't just Star Wars weapons that arrived, but two unpopular items were removed in today's update, and some players aren't happy with the Star Wars pass price.
