Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 4 rolls on with the second major update of the season, and I hope you had enough of a break from all of the Star Wars crossover content because it simply can’t be stopped, and Fortnite 26.20 is bringing some more. Not only is there yet another Lightsaber being added to the weapon pool, but some new force abilities are coming with Ahsoka.

We’ll run through everything new that’s coming in the Fortnite v26.20 patch notes, so you’re all caught up before jumping back into the action.

After we discovered that Star Wars: Ahsoka may have a Jedi: Fallen Order connection, it’s not a surprise that the Fortnite team would want to bring them in. Starting today, Ahsoka Tano is available as an unlockable Fortnite skin in the Chapter 4 Season 4 Battle Pass. If you’ve already purchased the Battle Pass, you’ll have access to some new missions that will remain active until the end of the season. Complete them and you’ll unlock Ahsoka as a skin as well as several accessories.

While the skin will remain in the game for a while, everything else that comes with this event is very limited. Firstly, if you head out onto the island you’ll find Ahsoka in hologram form, where she’ll take you through Jedi training.

If you come out the other side, you’ll be able to use two Force abilities. One to sprint faster and double jump, and the other to push objects and players away from you.

Of course, it wouldn’t be a Fortnite x Star Wars event without a Lightsaber to play with, and completing Ahsoka’s training will also get you one as a weapon. Like most Lightsabers in Fortnite, these do high melee damage and can block incoming bullets.

After previously being disabled, the team has decided to bring back ranked mode for Solo Zero Build. It was originally closed to keep the queues for the other modes healthy, but after community outcry, it is being reinstated. However, while regions like Europe and NA-East can play it whenever they want, others like NA-Central and Oceania can only play during limited times.

New Reality Augment – Fortnite 26.20

And finally, as always, there’s a new Reality Augment in this update. The Marksman Headshot augment will increase your headshot damage when using the Marksman Rifle. Along with this, both the More Parkour and Soaring Sprints augments have been unlocked giving you higher jump power and more stamina restoration options.
