Find the Force is finally here in Fortnite! The latest event has arrived for this year's Star Wars Celebration via the weekly update this morning. New characters, items, and challenges have dropped as a result. One of the challenges is a little complicated: damaging an enemy holding a Star Wars weapon. Here's the best way to complete the challenge and earn the rewards in Chapter 4, Season 2.

Damage an enemy player with a Star Wars weapon in Fortnite

Step 1) Load into the game and begin a match

You need to begin by loading the application on the platform you prefer to play on. Log in to your Fortnite account or whichever one you want to complete the challenges on. The weekly update for the Star Wars Celebration was pretty big and just came out this morning, so update the game first.

Any mode of Battle Royale or Zero Build will suffice, so select one. Start the match and wait for it to load. It could take some time since traffic will likely be high with a brand-new update. Star Wars events are also pretty popular most of the time.

Step 2) Land at the Republic camp

There are multiple locations for the Republic chests in Find the Force right now. Pick one to go to, as that will be where other players likely get Star Wars items. Alternatively, you can head to the Force Gates, where some players emerge with lightsabers after completing their Jedi training. The former is a simpler option.

Step 3) Damage a player

The other players nearby likely have either the DC-15 Blaster or a Lightsaber. Damage them, and if the challenge is completed, they have one. If it's not, then they likely did not. You don't have to eliminate them per se, but you do need to deal at least one damage.
