Fortnite brought back the E-11 Blaster for Chapter 5 Season 2 — here’s where to find it.
The yearly Star Wars event is now live in Fortnite, and once again, gamers have limited time to use their favorite weapons and battle known villains from the movies. Star Wars NPCs aren't the only ones to have been brought back to the Battle Royale island; Epic Games also unvaulted Darth Vader's Lightsaber and the E-11 Blaster — two awesome Star Wars weapons.
The E-11 Blaster is a particularly useful weapon; it shoots lasers so it does not need ammo, which means players can fire it freely until it overheats, and there's no need to worry about running out of bullets. This guide will help players find the E-11 Blaster in Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 2.
How to Get the E-11 Blaster
Players can easily guarantee an E-11 Blaster in Fortnite, as there are two main ways to acquire it: fighting Stormtroopers and searching Imperial Chests.
Stormtroopers
Stormtroopers always carry E-11 Blasters, so one of the ways to get them is to take them out. To find Stormtroopers in Fortnite, gamers will either have to visit one of the Imperial Roadblocks or Darth Vader's location, as they also protect him in-game. Here is where players can find Stormtroopers in Fortnite:
Imperial Chests
Another way to get an E-11 Blaster is to search Imperial Chests. However, gamers might score other Star Wars loot, such as the Wookiee Bowcaster, so it's not as certain for gamers looking for an E-11 Blaster. Nevertheless, Imperial Roadblocks guarantee Imperial Chest spawns. Gamers will also find them at Piney Lane, Darth Vader's location.
How to Use the E-11 Blaster
The E-11 Blaster is a great weapon to carry in Fortnite. It's a Mythic weapon, and it doesn't require any ammo, as it shoots out lasers instead. It works just like any other weapon; players only have to aim and shoot, but it can keep firing out lasers until it overheats.
It deals a total of 30 damage, and it has a 1.25x critical multiplier, so its headshots deal a total of 37.5 damage. It might not seem like much, but considering it doesn't need to be reloaded, it can take players from 200 health down to zero in a matter of seconds. On top of that, its cooldown only lasts two seconds, so players can get down to business in a matter of seconds.
