How to Find and Pilot the Star Destroyer in Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 3
Just like last season’s Godzilla event where players could transform and wreak havoc on the island, this season allows you to take control of the iconic Star Destroyer. Unlike the Godzilla event where portals appeared randomly, the Star Destroyer portal is now available in every match.
When the second storm circle appears, you’ll see a message that says, “Star Destroyer Portal is open.” To locate it, simply open your map and look for the Star Destroyer icon. It’s marked clearly, so you can’t miss it.

Once you know where the portal is, head there quickly. Only the first player to enter the Star Destroyer portal will gain control of the ship in that match—so speed is key.

What Happens After You Enter the Portal
After entering the portal, a Rift will open and the Star Destroyer will arrive above the island. You’ll be transported inside the ship and given access to its control console. From this point, you’ll have 1 minute and 20 seconds to rain destruction on the battlefield.
You’ll have three main controls:
-
Left-click to fire the ship’s blasters
-
Right-click to zoom in for better aim
-
Hold “F” to exit early if you want to finish before the timer ends

Enemy players are marked with red arrows, and it usually takes just two shots to eliminate them. It’s a fun, chaotic moment where you can truly cause some mayhem—perfect for any Star Wars fan.

Tips for Getting the Star Destroyer First
Since only one player can pilot the ship per game, getting there first is key. As soon as the second storm circle forms, open your map and begin heading toward the portal location right away. Landing near the middle of the map or using mobility items and vehicles can help you beat others to the spot.
That’s everything you need to know about how to pilot the Star Destroyer in Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 3. This feature is one of the most exciting additions to the Star Wars event and gives players a unique way to dominate the game.
