Where to Find X-Wing Starfighter and TIE Fighter in Fortnite Star Wars Galactic Battle

Here's a quick rundown of all the X-Wing Starfighter and TIE Fighter locations in Fortnite Star Wars Galactic Battle.

Epic Games brought the X-Wing Starfighter and the TIE Fighter to Fortnite island for the new Star Wars Galactic Battle season

These aircrafts are synonymous with the Resistance and the Imperial Legion, respectively, but you don’t need to be aligned to either to fly them in Epic’s Battle Royale. Multiple copies of these two vehicles spawn on the island for every match, but if you wish to fly them, you’ll have to be the first one to reach them.

X-Wing Starfighters spawn at these two locations for every match. If you approach these locations and don’t find any, then there’s a chance that someone else got to it first and has claimed it. It’s perfect for an entire squad and can fire lasers that deal 60 damage to both structures and players.

The only drawback is that you need to be careful while exiting an X-Wing Starfighter because if you’re not careful enough and if it hasn’t landed properly, you might take fall damage.

You can find TIEFighters at the three locations, which also happen to be Imperial Strongholds. These aircrafts are faster than the X-Wing Starfighters but can only seat one player. However, unlike the Resistance aircrafts, these have a chance of spawning at crash sites, and you’ll need to fix them with fuel canisters that you find nearby before you can use them in combat. They deal the same damage as the Starfighters but are more nimble, which gives them the upper hand in aerial combat. 

Both these aircrafts are handy vehicles and can help you reposition easily. They’re also good at taking down structures, but you might not be able to use them towards the endgame, especially when the zone becomes smaller.

However, don’t mistake them as an alternative to a good loadout because eventually, you will have to fight on foot, and without appropriate weapons, you’ll be a sitting duck in Fortnite Star Wars Galactic Battle.
