Where to find Wookiee Bowcaster in Fortnite

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 bolt-shooting mythic crossbow, a true game-changer, should be a thrilling addition to your loadout. Let's delve into the comprehensive guide on how to get the mythic Wookiee Bowcaster in Fortnite and tilt the tide of the game in your favor.

How to get Wookiee Bowcaster in Fortnite

To get a Wookiee 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, scout for places with blue smoke while traveling on the bus and land there.

Upon landing, you will find Chewbacca fighting with several Stormtroopers. Help Chewie 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 Wookiee Bowcaster as a reward for helping him. If he does not 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, though it may sound simple, dozens of real players along your side will compete to acquire the Wookiee Bowcaster. So, prepare to battle Stormtroopers and other real-life players for a chance to get the Wookiee Bowcaster.

How to use Wookiee Bowcaster in Fortnite 

The Wookiee Bowcaster in Fortnite has two modes- quickfire bolts and explosive bolts. Hit your default firing button to shoot the quickfire bolts that nearly deal 110 damage for a headshot, while a body shot inflicts 30 to 60 damage.

To fire an explosive bolt, you must charge the weapon by holding your default firing button instead of tapping it. Though it takes 3 to 5 seconds, it nearly deals 140 damage as an AOE-style attack, helpful in eliminating and dealing with rushers/full-party sweats. This can be particularly effective when you're in a defensive position or facing multiple enemies.
