How to Get the Wookie Bowcaster in Fortnite

There are two primary options to secure the Wookie Bowcaster in Fortnite: search Imperial Chests or rescue the legendary Chewbacca himself.

Option 1: Search Imperial Chests

Scattered across the Fortnite island, you’ll find Imperial Outposts. These outposts are marked by blue smoke, making them easy to spot.

Inside the white tents at these outposts, you’ll find Imperial Crates, which are black boxes with red stripes emitting a golden glow. By looting these crates, you have a chance to find either the Wookiee Bowcaster or the E-11 Imperial Blaster.

While the Bowcaster isn’t guaranteed, persistence and thorough searching should eventually yield the desired weapon.

Option 2: Rescue Chewbacca

The second option is a more direct approach – rescue Chewbacca from the clutches of the Empire. In each match, Chewbacca will spawn at a random Imperial Outpost, indicated by blue smoke in the sky.

Take out the Stormtroopers at the outpost to earn the Wookie Bowcaster from Chewbacca himself. However, be prepared for intense competition as other players may also be vying for this coveted prize.

Using the Wookie Bowcaster

The Wookie Bowcaster has a unique way of shooting, so practice with it. This traditional laser projectile weapon fires individual bolts quickly or can be charged up to shoot a heavier explosive bolt.

The Bowcaster deals significant damage, making it a great option for close-range combats, similar to an SMG. Just watch out for the recoil and adjust your aim to stay accurate.
