Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 3, titled Galactic Battle, brings exciting new features, including the ability to recruit and interact with an AI-controlled Darth Vader.
This version of Darth Vader, based on the iconic Star Wars villain, uses voice technology to respond to players, creating a unique experience.
However, many players have reported a Darth Vader AI voice glitch, where the AI was manipulated to speak inappropriate language, including swear words and slurs, disrupting the game.
In this article, we’ll guide you on how to find the AI Darth Vader in Fortnite and enjoy this feature properly.
How to find AI Darth Vader in Fortnite (New Update)
To find AI Darth Vader in Fortnite, you need to visit one of three possible locations where he randomly appears in each match.
These locations include Vader Samurai’s Solitude, south of the tunnel near Canyon Crossing, and east of Foxy Floodgate.
Since his spawn is random, you may need to check multiple spots to locate him. Once you find Darth Vader, be prepared to defeat him in battle before you can interact with him further.

Darth Vader always spawns at Vader Samurai’s Solitude, a red forest area in the southwest of the Chapter 6 map.
