Star Warsweapons always make a splash inFortnite, and the new Wookiee Bowcaster is no exception, providing players with an intensely powerful Mythic weapon forFortnitexStar Wars, the new 2024 event that brings the galaxy far, far away to Battle Royale. The Wookiee Bowcaster might be something that catches the eyes of players thanks to its damage and range potential, showcasing the intense blasters of the fuzzballs of Kashyyyk.
It’s not so simple to grab the Wookiee Bowcaster, and players will have to search and perhaps even fight for it. After all, the dreaded Empire and even other players are going to want to confiscate and use this technology for themselves, since only one person can claim Victory Royale.
Search Imperial Chests / Rescue Chewbacca
There are two ways that players can get their hands on the Wookiee Bowcaster Mythic. Firstly, is the method of Searching Imperial Chests. Imperial Chests have set spawns across theFortniteislands, and players can expect to find them at any Imperial roadblock. There are 6 of these around the map, and they always spawn at the same spots, and usually with 2 Imperial Chests. However, a Wookiee Bowcaster is not a guaranteed spawn from these chests, as players might find an E-11 Blaster Rifle inside instead.
The second way, which is guaranteed but harder due to the number of people dropping down, is to rescue Chewbacca, an NPC that will always spawn on the map at a random Imperial blockade, indicated by the blue smoke in the sky each round. Killing the Stormtroopers will see Chewbacca drop a Wookiee Bowcaster as a reward.

Wookiee Bowcaster Stats
A traditional laser projectile weapon commonly used by Wookiees.
Shoots individual bolts quickly or can be charged up to shoot a heavier explosive bolt.
The newStar WarsMythic is a great weapon to have for those who enjoy timed explosive shots to decimate their enemies. Be warned, the Wookiee Bowcaster can feel a tad heavy to wield, and jumpy with each shot, meaning players will need to adjust when firing to compensate for the kick. However, players can expect a large burst of damage, quickly, since the Wookiee Bowcaster does not need to reload, never runs out of ammo, and fires shots rather rapidly. Even charging shots doesn’t take too long, and these charged shots can be held indefinitely.
