You can obtain the Mythic Lightsaber in Fortnite after defeating Darth Vader in combat. This deadly melee weapon allows you to slice through your enemies and deflect attacks, making it ideal for close-range combat.

The main difference between this Lightsaber and the others is that it can also be thrown at other players by simply aiming it and pressing the ‘shoot’ button. So, it also comes in handy when battling enemies from a distance.
