Epic Games' Star Wars crossover introduces flyable X-Wings in Fortnite, found at Resistance-controlled areas like the Resistance Base and satellite outposts. Players can pilot these vehicles using a reticle-based control system, unleashing blasters that deal splash damage. Completing X-Wing quests, such as destroying structures or flying a certain distance, rewards players with XP and items.

Epic Games has gone all out for this season’s Star Wars crossover, integrating iconic features of the franchise into core gameplay. While cosmetic items and weapons have been part of previous events, this time players can take to the skies in the legendary X-Wing, giving a whole new meaning to Victory Royale.The X-Wing is one of two flyable vehicles in the game, the other being the TIE Fighter. However, if you're aligning with the Resistance, the X-Wing is the craft to look for. Unlike random vehicle spawns, X-Wings appear in set locations - specifically Resistance-controlled areas.Key locations include the Resistance Base and Outpost Enclave, along with multiple satellite outposts. Notable X-Wing hotspots are:
  • South of Flooded Frogs
  • Northwest of Brutal Boxcars
  • Near The Bird restaurant south of the Resistance Base
These ships tend to appear at the start of each match, but if you don’t find one immediately, chances are someone else beat you to it.

How to fly X-Wing?

Flying the X-Wing is intuitive. The reticle-based control system means your direction and altitude are tied to where you aim. Pressing the fire button simultaneously triggers the built-in blasters, which deal 60 splash damage per hit.

The X-Wing also supports boosting and smooth landing, with a total health of 1,050 HP. If destroyed once, it temporarily regenerates. But after a second takedown, it disappears permanently.Weapon accuracy isn’t pinpoint, so players must rely on agility and height advantage to get the most out of airstrikes.

X-Wing quests offer valuable XP

There are in-game quests tied to the X-Wing. A Found Quest from Poe Dameron tasks players with destroying 25 structures using the vehicle’s blasters, rewarding 30,000 XP and a Legendary A280-CFE Blaster.Another quest, Embrace the Light, challenges players to fly the X-Wing for 5,000 meters, which earns an additional 3,000 XP. With the right route and minimal conflict, this can be completed in a few matches.To survive longer in the X-Wing, avoid direct engagements. Climb to higher altitudes and fly in wide arcs instead of hovering. Also, try refueling at gas stations - though tricky to land, the X-Wing can be healed like cars if done right.Another tip? Travel away from busy drop zones. Some locations may appear quiet but offer enough flight room to cover quest requirements.
