The loud Millennium Falcon co-pilot Chewbacca will be imprisoned in an Imperial Roadblock, these will be heavily guarded as the Empire will not want nosey players to try and release high-value prisoners with ease.

The exact location of Chewbacca will change as he'll be at a different Imperial Roadblock in each match so finding him will require a bit of luck on your side.

While there multiple Imperial Roadblocks in the Fortnite map at any given moment, it's easy to spot the where Chewbacca is as the Wookie will send a blue smoke signal that can be easily spotted before you step out of the battle bus.

As mentioned, Chewbacca will grant you his iconic Wookiee Bowcaster, a powerful tool that has multiple firing methods. You can either shoot individual quarrels quickly or charge up a heavier, explosive shot that will deal massive damage but has more downtime between shots.

That's far from it, to show his appreciation, Chewie will follow you into battle to make sure you earn those sweet Victory Royales. Naturally, he can be defeated like any other NPC, but he'll be a valuable ally, especially if you're a solos player.
