Fortnite cheats, tips - Get the Millennium Falcon glider and more in the Winterfest event FREE
Get Star Wars: Rise of the Skywalker and Christmas goodies in Fortnite right now
Fortnite is the game that refuses to hold still for even a moment. I felt like I had readjusted to the game when Chapter 2 launched, but a couple of months later and the game has already changed enough to make playing it feel like a learning experience. I mean, I won, but I struggled, okay?
If you jump into Fortnite right now you'll find that the Winterfest event is well underway, and there are loads of gifts and free extras for you to earn right now. In addition to all of that, there's a new Star Wars event which throws lightsabers into the main game like weapons, and brand new Star Wars-themed items for you to keep for free. That should be enough to get a few returning players.
Right here we've got the quick tips you need, including how to get the Millennium Falcon glider for free instantly, extra experience, extra challenges, and how to use the new lightsaber weapons for cool kills. Just read on for everything you need to know about Fortnite's Star Wars crossover and Winterfest event.
This is the most important thing to know, right? The Millennium Falcon is available as a glider in the game, and it's completely free.
All you need to do is visit the Winterfest Cabin, where you will be able to open a new gift every day. Go to the right present pile, and you'll see a suspicious Millennium Falcon-shaped gift on the floor. Pick that one first and, boom, you have a brand new glider.
It really is as simple as that, and you should be able to open several gifts, which all include new and interesting items. Some are just loading screens and music, yawn, but others are interesting cosmetics. You can shake gifts to get a hint at what's inside before picking one to open.

Fireplace bonuses
In the cabin there is also a fireplace which you can stare at, like one of those YouTube videos you're supposed to put on to set the mood during Christmas. Does anyone actually do that? Please comment below.
This fireplace is special though, because it'll reward you with extra experience and experience boosts for when you play the game. Nice!
There is a limit, so you can't just stare at it forever, but if you leave the game on the fireplace in the background you'll pick up some nice bonuses.

Extra challenges
The cabin is hiding all sorts of secrets, isn't it? Hanging next to the fireplace is a mysterious stocking, and unlike the presents, you can open this one for free, without having to sacrifice one of your openings.
The stocking will contain a bunch of extra Winterfest challenges you can complete during your battles, and yes, that means extra experience and items to earn. Not bad.
You can check up on your Winterfest challenges in the usual place, and complete them while you play the main game, as usual.

Finding and using a lightsaber
Lightsabers are in the game, and here's the deal:
Lightsabers will be found in special chests - there make a different noise and look different to gold chests. They will contain multiple legendary lightsabers, and you can choose your favourite. Or multiple, if you're so inclined.
Once equipped, you can block with them by using the ADS button, dodge roll with jump, and of course, swing it wildly with the shoot button.
It does huge damage, and your block can actually deflect bullets, just like a Jedi. If you block bullets while getting close, you can get some excellent kills with it, while intimidating your opponent. It even shreds through walls and buildings.
