Fortnite is currently hosting a huge Star Wars crossover event. After the v24.30 update, gamers received an unexpected amount of Star Wars content. Not only do players have access to Star Wars weapons and Force abilities, but they can also find a bunch of Find the Force quests that they can complete to finish a mini Star Wars-themed Battle Pass.
The second stage of the Find the Force quests requires players to use the Force Jump ability to get onto or off a grind rail. This guide will help players acquire the Force Jump ability to complete their Fortnite quests and finish the Star Wars pass.
How To Get Force Powers in Fortnite
Force powers don't work like Reality Augments, so they aren't skills that the player can acquire and simply perform whenever they feel like it - these abilities are actually linked to the Star Wars Lightsabers. This means that in order to get Force powers, Fortnite players will have to find a Lightsaber.
In Chapter 4 Season 2, Lightsabers can only be acquired if the player manages to find and talk to either Anakin Skywalker, Obi-wan Kenobi, or Darth Maul. These characters will show up on the island randomly through Rift Gates, but a Lightsaber marker will appear on the map to indicate where the player can go to find them once they spawn.
As soon as it appears, gamers will have to get to it as quickly as possible and then talk to the character to undergo training and receive a Lightsaber.
How To Force Jump in Fortnite
As soon as the player gets the Lightsaber, they will be able to use it to perform Force tricks - this will only work as long as the weapon is equipped in the player's hand.
To use Force Jump, the player must press the Jump button or key bind when in the air while already jumping. Technically, Force Jump gives players the ability to double jump.
Find The Force Quest
Players that are trying to complete the Find the Force quest will have Force Jump onto or off a grind rail. First, they must find a grind rail. Thankfully, new grind rail locations were also added with the update, and they can now be found at Mega City, Slappy Shores, Neon Bay Bridge, and Shattered Slabs.
- To Force Jump onto a grind rail, the player must equip their Lightsaber, jump once while far enough away from it for the character to not automatically get on the grind rail, and then jump a second time while in the air.
- To Force Jump off a grind rail, the player must equip their Lightsaber while on it, jump once, and then jump a second time while in the air and move the character to the side so they get off it.
Fortnite is available for Mobile, PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
