Piloting an X-Wing is awesome, but what if you turned to the Dark Side? That's where all the Fortnite TIE Fighter locations come into play. After all, it wouldn't be fair if only the Rebel Alliance had all the fun across the island. TIE Fighters are just as nimble as X-Wings, and equally as iconic. There are plenty of Fortnite TIE Fighters to find, so here's what you need to know about assuming command of one yourself.

All Fortnite TIE Fighter locations
Alongside X-Wings, the Fortnite Galactic Battle update drops several of the Empire's vehicles throughout the island. You'll likely face rival players along the way trying to get their own, so make sure you get one of the Fortnite Lightsabers first. Unlike X-Wings, TIE Fighter spawns are more randomized, but there are at least two spots where you can find one.
Here are all the Fortnite TIE Fighter locations:
- First Order Base
- Vader Samurai's Solitude
- Canyon Crossing (North of this POI, at the Empire Outpost)
- Flooded Frogs (South of this POI, complete mini-quest)
The Flooded Frogs TIE Fighter requires some repairs, which is part of a mini-quest. Completing it is very easy.
How do I fix the TIE Fighter in Fortnite?
To fix the TIE Fighter in Fortnite, you need to complete a mini-quest that involves gathering parts from an Empire Outpost, which is just south of Flooded Frogs. All of the parts are highlighted at the outpost and need to be interacted with for a few seconds. Once you've done this for all of them, you can fix the TIE Fighter that is parked at the outpost.
How do I fly the Fortnite TIE Fighter?
