How to find AI Darth Vader in Fortnite Chapter 6 season 3

Fortnite’s first AI-powered Darth Vader NPC has finally come to the island, and it allows players to interact with him in real-time using their voice without the use of written dialogue. 

Unlike the Darth Vader Samurai in Fortnite, Anakin Skywalker now spawns in three different locations on the map, making it difficult for players to track him down. He is usually surrounded by Stormtroopers, and he doesn’t have an in-map marker like before, so you need to know the places to take your vehicle and visit them as soon as possible to get the boss on your side.

There are three locations where you can find AI Darth Vader in the Fortnite Island, and they are given below. If you don’t find them in one place, get a vehicle or a spaceship 

Vader Samurai’s Solitude 

Even though Darth Vader Samurai has left the island, Darth Vader can still spawn in his original place, which is the easiest place to find him. Land on the eastern side of the point of interest, and you should spot Darth Vader patrolling the area. We’d recommend you start your search from this position, as it’s very easy to spot from the sky if the boss is here or just land near the X-Wings and take off to the next areas. 

Outpost south of Canyon Crossing

Vader can also spawn on the south side of the Canyon Crossing point of interest. You can reach this place by taking the tunnel down the snowy hills. Once you come out of the tunnel, drive straight, and you should find the place where Darth Vader is walking with his stormtroopers.

South-Eastern side of Foxy Floodgate 

Lastly, Darth Vader can also spawn on the south-eastern side of Foxy Floodgate beyond the snowy mountain, and he usually roams the streets here. You can also go to the Republic Outpost here and go straight in the northern direction to find the Chosen One. 

Once you find him, you need to fight him and take him down. After you finish his health, he should bow down to you and open his portal. You can go inside the portal to get his lightsaber and Force ability while also adding him to your party. He’s power ability is amazing at jumping at enemies while also pulling them toward you to demolish their hopes of getting a battle royale. 

You can also talk to him using your in-game voice chat and holding Y on your keyboard, and he’ll give you words of encouragement to embrace your dark side and win matches.
