The force is strong this season in Fortnite, with Star Wars taking over. There are plenty of quests to do and characters to meet. One of the big additions is the Light Side and Dark Side Alignment quests, but they aren’t explained to well in Fortnite Star Wars.
If you’re more into the Sith and prefer kicking it with Emperor Palpatine as opposed to Rey and Poe Dameron, then completing Dark Side Alignment quests are the way to go. We’ve put together a guide to show you how to gain Dark Side Alignment in Fortnite Star Wars.
Complete the dark side alignment-specific quests
By completing dark side alignment quests in Fortnite Star Wars, you earn valuable XP. As you complete some of these quests, new ones will reappear. It may seem obvious, but doing anything to aid the Galactic Empire is what is necessary. The varying quests are straightforward, but as you check them off, you’ll see your alignment to the dark side increase in the quest menu. So far, these are the quests we’ve found for players to complete in order to gain dark side alignment in the Fortnite Star Wars season.
- Thank the bus driver then land at First Order Base or Vader’s Samurai Solitude – a nice easy one, simply do as it says to gain dark side alignment in Fortnite Star Wars.
- Gain 300 shield at First Order Base of Vader’s Samurai Solitude – find these in chests scattered around the two locations.
- Destroy 50 structures at Rebel Outpost or Resistance Base – one of the quickest ways to do this is by hopping in the nearby X-Wing southeast of the base, or by collecting Thermal Imploders and blowing them up that way.
- Learn dark side abilities from a Training Rift Gate twice – these appear on the map as a red icon with a white lightsaber icon in the middle. Simply interact with Emperor Palpatine and you’ll enter a gate to acquire a lightsaber.
- Block or attack with a Sith lightsaber 15 times – as described, just go out and put it to use.
- Collect 50 gold bars at Vader’s Samurai Solitude or First Order Base – these can be found of other players or in chests scattered around the two locations.
