How to find Training Rift Gates in Fortnite Chapter 6, Season 3
Did you know you can get training from Jedis and the Sith in Fortnite's Star Wars Galactic Battle season? Although this won't involve any classes or one-on-one combat, you'll get to enter mysterious training gates and come out with powerful Lightsabers to use for the rest of your match.
What are these mysterious Training Rift Gates? How do you find them? What do they do? We're here to answer all of these questions and more. Let's talk about Training Rift Gates in Fortnite Chapter 6, Season 3, including how to find them and what they do.

Training Rift Gates will appear in your Fortnite matches after the first storm circle passes . They'll appear as red and blue Lightsaber icons on your map, indicating the two different factions they represent. Red icons are Sith Training Rift Gates, while blue ones are for the Jedi Order.

The spawn locations for these Training Rift Gates are entirely random. You can have several Sith gates in one round, only to find three Jedi Order gates the next. Similarly, they may be clustered in one spot or scattered around the map. Any player can access them, so watch your map after the first storm circle passes to ensure you get to the gate before others beat you to it.
How to enter Training Rift Gates in Fortnite Star Wars Galactic Battle
At first, you won't spot any Training Rift Gates at these locations, even if you arrive right on top of the map's icon. Instead, you'll spot Rey or Darth Sidious holograms, depending on which faction gate you find. Talk to them to enter a Rift gate automatically, rewarding you with a blue or a red Lightsaber . Every Lightsaber comes with a fast-hitting regular attack, a block mechanic, and a Force Jump that acts as a double jump ability.

Each variant also has a unique mechanic, with Jedi Lightsabers having Force Push to push enemies away from you and Sith versions having Force Lightning that launches a lightning attack at your foes. Which type you use depends on personal preference and how many gates are available in your Fortnite round.
Use these gates quickly if you want to get your hands on a Lightsaber. Once someone opens a portal and claims their Lightsaber, the gate will disappear, preventing other players from using it. Since there are only a few portals per match, you may miss out on getting a Lightsaber if you wait too long to visit Rey and Darth Sidious.
Opening Training Rift Gates is also helpful if you're trying to complete Fortnite's weekly quests or Alignment missions during Chapter 6, Season 3. Alignment quests, in particular, provide consistent XP if you can finish their tasks, letting you quickly raise your account level and progress through Fortnite's Battle Pass . You may not be able to finish an objective every match, but any progress helps, especially if you work on other Alignment tasks or story quests along the way.

Tenshabi revealed the Tokyu Fortnite Project, where it produces an accurate map of Shibuya using the same game. The company works on the project together with Tokyu Corporation, and they also plan to regularly update it by adding more features like mini-games and synchronizing with any real-life building updates.
The map will primarily cover the area in front of the Shibuya Station. People will be able to use Fortnite avatars to explore the virtual representation of the real-world area. Tenshabi and Tokyu also project the map to be utilized in educational use cases, including disaster evacuation simulations.
In addition, Tenshabi mentioned that it will also expand the project worldwide to let prospective foreign tourists experience the accurate Shibuya map. However, it added a disclaimer that it runs the project entirely on its own without any sponsorship or support from Epic Games.
Tenshabi has also published an official trailer for the Tokyu Fortnite Project's Shibuya map on its YouTube channel:
