Chewbacca Brings Back the Bowcaster in Fortnite’s Latest Update

Chewbacca has returned, bringing his iconic Bowcaster to the latest update of Fortnite Chapter Six, Season Three. If you’re eager to acquire this powerful mid-range explosive weapon, read on to find out how!

Where to Locate the Wookie Bowcaster in Fortnite’s Galactic Battle

In this season, players can discover the Wookie Bowcaster primarily in standard and rare blue chests, and occasionally as part of floor loot. Currently, there are no NPCs in Fortnite Chapter Six, Season Three, that sell this weapon. Its rarity means you might need to open several chests before you successfully find one.

Should Chewbacca make an appearance as an NPC later in the season, he may offer the Bowcaster for sale. Until that happens, your best bet for acquiring one is to search through chests, explore buildings, or take it from defeated opponents.

How to Use the Wookie Bowcaster in Fortnite’s Galactic Battle

The Wookie Bowcaster operates with unlimited ammo, similar to the blasters currently featured in Fortnite. Unlike fully automatic weapons, the Bowcaster allows you to control the power of each shot by holding down the trigger. You can either tap the trigger for quick shots or hold it down to charge up for a more powerful blast once the charge bar is filled.

This weapon excels as a mid-range option but also performs well in long-range engagements. The bolts do not seem to experience drop-off, so as long as you have precise aim and good visibility, you can effectively hit targets at greater distances.

The damage dealt by the Wookie Bowcaster varies based on its rarity, typically dealing around 50 damage with a regular shot and up to 100 damage when fully charged. To verify the exact stats, open your inventory and select Inspect.
