The Wookiee Bowcaster, a unique and powerful weapon, was introduced to the base game as part of the Fortnite X Star Wars update. If you're aiming for the Victory Royale, this mythical crossbow, a true game changer, should be an exciting addition to your loadout. Let's delve into the comprehensive guide on how to get the mythological Wookiee Bowcaster in Fortnite and tilt the tide of the game in your favor.
How to get Wookie Bowcaster in Fortnite
To get a Wookie Bowcaster, you must first jump at an Imperial Roadblock. The Imperial Roadblocks are random locations on the map that can be easily identified using their blue smoke. So, look for places with blue smoke while traveling in the bus and land there.
Upon landing, you'll find Chewbacca fighting several Stormtroopers. Help the Chewbacca defeat the Stormtroopers using any nearby loot and complete the mission. The Stormtroopers have very low HP, and you can easily defeat one using three to four shots from an AR.
Once the place is secure, Chewbacca will drop a Wookie Bowcaster as a reward for helping him. If he doesn't drop one, loot all the Imperial chests at the same Imperial Roadblock post to get one. It has a high spawn rarity so you will definitely get one.
Remember, although it may sound simple, dozens of real players on your side will be competing to get their hands on a Wookie Bowcaster. So, get ready to fight against Stormtroopers and other real life players.

How to use Wookie Bowcaster in Fortnite
The Wookie Bowcaster in Fortnite has two modes – rapid fire bolts and explosive bolts. Press your default fire button to fire the rapid fire bolts that deal almost 110 damage per headshot, while a body shot deals 30 to 60 damage.
To fire an explosive bolt, you must load the weapon by holding down your default fire button instead of tapping it. Although it lasts 3 to 5 seconds, it deals almost 160 damage as an AOE-style attack, helpful for removing and dealing with rushers / full-party sweats. This can be especially effective when you are in a defensive position or facing multiple enemies.
