How to get Wookie Bowcaster in Fortnite

There are two ways to get your hands on a Wookie Bowcaster weapon in Fortnite:

• Rescue Chewbacca from an Imperial Roadblock (his location changes each match).
• Loot Imperial Chests from Imperial Roadblocks.

The first method is the best and surest way of getting the Wookie Bowcaster, as Chewbacca will hand you his weapon after you save him from the Stormtroopers. The second method is however dependent upon luck, since you may not find the Wookie Bowcaster from every Imperial Chest you open.

How to use the Wookie Bowcaster

The Wookie Bowcaster is a mythic weapon in Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 2 that comes with two fire modes.

You can either shoot individual quarrels quickly or charge up the weapon to fire a heavier and more explosive shot. The single shot deals 55 body damage, as compared to the heavy shot that deals 120 damage to an enemy.

Thanks to its long range and heavy damage, players can use the weapon as a viable replacement to Marksman Rifles in the game like the Huntress DMR.
