Tracking The Mandalorian
Tracking down the Outer Rim bounty hunter is actually an easy task. Players need to head directly east of the Zero Point, which theFortniteSeason 5 story trailerintroduces, until they hit the edge of the crystalline sands. There they will find a crash-landed Razor Crest, along with Mando patrolling.
Those who take on the challenge must deal with Din’s variety of weapons. These include a sniper rifle, a mid-range blaster, and jetpack, making him a dynamic AI. As detailed in a video by YouTube channel Fortnite Events, it’s advised to gather up supplies before engaging the Mythic Boss. The spot to find some weapons nearest the Razor Crest is a pair of buildings just southeast of the crash site.
Collect the Bounty
Players can get their hands on two of Mando’s iconic pieces ofStar Warsgear once he has been defeated:The Mandalorian’s jetpack, which has infinite recharging fuel, and his signature Amban sniper rifle. The sniper rifle works similarly toFortnite’s thermal-scoped assault rifle, but with aStar Warsoverlay. One unique feature of the Amban is that it also doubles as a melee weapon, sticking true to the source material. However, the mid-range blaster that can be seen in the video is nowhere to be found.
The introduction ofThe Mandaloriancharacters intoFortnite’s new season seems like a win-win for all parties.The Mandaloriancontinues to dominate streaming Nielsen ratings, and Season 5’s bounty hunter-focused storyline makes Mando a perfect addition to the game. The new MythicStar Warsweapons, on top of all the drastic map changes, will likely keep battle royale players entertained through the holiday season.
In addition to Mando crashingFortnite, Epic Games promises even more characters from “realities beyond.” While there aren’t any official announcements about who is being added, a recent leak suggests thatMaster Chief and several iconicHaloweaponsare coming to the game.
Fortniteis free-to-play on PC, PS4, PS5, Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X.
