How to find a Wookiee Bowcaster in Fortnite Chapter 6, Season 3

Throughout Fortnite’s Star Wars event, you’ll encounter multiple themed weapons, from E-11 Blasters to the powerful Wookiee Bowcaster. Not only do you need the Bowcaster for various quests, but in the right hands, it’s a powerful weapon that can quickly turn the tide of a fight with ease.

Where to find Wookiee Bowcaster in Fortnite Star Wars Galactic Battles

You can find regular Wookiee Bowcaster weapons as floor or chest loot and player elimination drops. You can also visit Chewbacca north of Outlaw Oasis for a guaranteed legendary Wookiee Bowcaster. Since the Star Wars Galactic Battles event only spawns blasters and bowcasters, you have a much higher chance of obtaining this weapon now than in previous events.

Each method has its advantages. If you’re lucky and help Chewbacca without having other players attack you, you can quickly defeat nearby enemies to receive a legendary Bowcaster for little effort. However, someone else may beat you to this or eliminate you if you’re focused on Chewbacca. Similarly, if someone arrives at a camp before you, they may loot help Chewbacca before you do, making it impossible to get his Bowcaster variant in that match.

You have several options with this in mind. Traveling north of Outlaw Oasis before other players arrive will help you defeat the two Stormtroopers attacking Chewbacca, guaranteeing you’ll get his Bowcaster. If someone beats you to the spot, you can loot nearby chests for a chance to find a rare or epic-tier version. Lastly, you can play your match out as usual, eliminating players and looting chests, hoping to find one randomly.

How you go about it is up to you and will depend on your situation, but these are all viable ways to get your hands on the Bowcaster. Once you get a Bowcaster, you’ll have access to its unlimited ammo, strong but slow-firing bolts, and its charged explosive bolt attacks.

Legendary Wookiee Bowcaster location in Fortnite Star Wars Galactic Battles

The best way to secure a guaranteed legendary Wookiee Bowcaster during your Fortnite matches is to travel directly north of Outlaw Oasis. Here, you’ll find a Rebel Outpost where Chewbacca is fighting several Stormtroopers.

Defeating these Stormtroopers will instantly reward you with Chewbacca’s Bowcaster and recruit him as a follower for the rest of the match. However, if someone beats you to the fight, they’ll recruit him instead, preventing you from getting this reward. Make sure to eliminate anyone who stands in your way, including the player who took the Bowcaster, so you can reclaim it and use its explosive arrows.

How to blast players with Charged Attacks from the Bowcaster

During Fortnite’s Star Wars event, you can attack other players using the Bowcaster by holding your attack button until the small bar around your crosshair fills. A full bar indicates the bolt is fully charged, allowing you to launch it at nearby enemies to deal massive damage. Sometimes, you can instantly eliminate someone if you get a headshot or target someone with low health.

As a bonus, the Bowcaster’s explosive bolt has an area-of-effect attack. You can damage multiple nearby players or enemies with it, making it a great weapon for cleaning up after a fight if the situation calls for it.
