Fortnite Stormtrooper Checkpoints are new locations introduced as part of the Fortnite X Star Wars May The Fourth event. These checkpoints serve as bases for Stormtroopers, but they aren't marked or labelled on the Fortnite map. So, here's where to find Fortnite Stormtrooper Checkpoints and what they offer.

What Are Fortnite Stormtrooper Checkpoints?

Stormtrooper Checkpoints are roadblocks set up along the Island's highways and manned by Stormtroopers. Each Stormtrooper Checkpoint features a couple of Chests, an Ammo Box, and some Fortnite Stormtroopers.

Stormtroopers at Stormtrooper Checkpoints are friendly. You can converse with a Stormtrooper to purchase E-11 Blaster Rifles or accept Bounty Quests.

There are three Stormtrooper Checkpoints spread across the Island. One near The Joneses, one near Sleepy Sound and Shifty Shafts, and another between Greasy Grove, Fortnite Tilted Towers, and Camp Cuddle.

Fortnite Stormtrooper Checkpoint Quests

There are a couple of special limited-time Fortnite X Star Wars May The 4th Quests that revolve around Stormtrooper Checkpoints. Below are the Challenges and how to best complete them:

Drive a vehicle from Chonker's Speedway or Logjam Lumberyard to a Stormtrooper Checkpoint (1)

For this Challenge, you'll need to grab a vehicle at either Chonker's Speedway or Logjam Lumberyard and drive it all the way to a Stormtrooper Checkpoint.

If you're leaving from Chonker's Speedway, you'll want to target the Stormtrooper Checkpoint near The Joneses. If you commandeered a vehicle at Logjam Lumberyard, the Stormtrooper Checkpoint south of Sleepy Sound is the closest.

Land at a Stormtrooper Checkpoint, then place top 25 (2)

To earn credit for this May The 4th Quest, you'll need to begin a match and land directly on a Stormtrooper Checkpoint. From here, you can play out the match as you would normally but focus on surviving and outlasting the opposition. Land at a Stormtrooper Checkpoint and place top 25 in the same match twice to complete this Fortnite X Star Wars Challenge.

Each successful Stormtrooper Checkpoint Quest will earn you 30k XP toward your Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 2 Battle Pass and Season Level. Complete five May The Fourth Challenges to earn an exclusive Star Wars Empire Banner Icon.

Fortnite meets Star Wars once again with the addition of Fortnite Stormtrooper Checkpoints. Visit Stormtrooper Checkpoints to find E-11 Blaster Rifles, take on Bounty Quests, and complete May The 4th Quests.
