Where to find Mandalorian Jetpack in Fortnite Star Wars Galactic Battle
The Mandalorian Jetpack is arandomly found loot itemthat can appear anywhere on the island. To find it, openchests, check forfloor loot, and otherwise hunt for items everywhere you go. There are no specific locations you’re able to check for it, as it has a random chance of appearing.
The first one I found dropped from a chest. I had opened around 10 chests before I came across one with this item, so it seems to be a fairly rare asset. It can be found in chests, though, so be sure to open every one you come across to have a shot at acquiring one.
I ran into a second Mandalorian Jetpack shortly after sitting on the ground. Like mostweaponsand loot, this item can randomly spawn on the ground just about anywhere on the map. Keep an eye out as you travel around to ensure you don’t miss one.
If you defeat a player who has this item in battle, they’ll drop it upon perishing. You can then pick it up and add it to your inventory. Some items, likeForce abilities, don’t drop when a player dies, but this one does.
How to use Mandalorian Jetpack in Fortnite
The Mandalorian Jetpack only has one function, which allows you tofly for short periods of time.you may use this item while also holding a weapon in your hand, so it’s a great tool to use during combat.
There are two controls for using the jetpack, which areAscendandCancel Hovering. The buttons you need to press to use each option vary by platform, but are always displayed near the left middle edge of the screen while you’re using this tool.
The Mandalorian Jetpack decays over time as you use it. You can track how far away it is from breaking by checking the bar on the right side of the jetpack icon in your inventory. It gets destroyed fairly quickly, so be cautious of using it too much.
