Sith Apprentice Lightsaber

Sith Apprentice Lightsaber is a Melee Weapon in Fortnite: Battle Royale. It was introduced in Chapter 4: Season 2.
== Functionality ==
The Sith Apprentice Lightsaber functions identically to other Lightsabers, with the only difference being it can throw objects using the Force Throw ability.
The Sith Apprentice Lightsaber primarily act as a Melee Weapon, meaning it can be swung at players in close range to deal damage to them. The weapon does damage in different intervals and does not have a consistent damage per second. When using it, the player will swing twice for 40 damage each, do a spin attack for 20 damage three times, and then overhead slam for 150 damage.
The Sith Apprentice Lightsaber will also block damage. Holding the aim down sight button will negate all types of damage except explosive towards the player. This will negate roughly 30 shots, before being put on a three second cooldown. Attempting to Jump whilst blocking will make the player dodge roll. This can be used to avoid incoming fire. Unlike the regular Lightsabers however, you cannot dodge in midair.
== Stats ==
The Sith Apprentice Lightsaber deals different damage depending on consecutive strikes. As such, they will deal 45, 45, 25, 25, 25, 150 damage.
== Obtained ==
The Sith Apprentice Lightsaber could only be obtained by interacting with the Darth Maul Rift Gate.
== Strategy Guide ==

* When your opponent is blocking with the Sith Apprentice Lightsaber, use a fast-firing weapon to break your opponent's block. Alternatively, use explosive weapons as they cannot be deflected.
