The Fortnite update adds fan-favorite items to OG Battle Royale

Epic Games releases a new update for Fortnite, bringing some legendary fan-favorite weapons and gear back to Battle Royale.

Samurai Darth Vader's Katana is something that has caught the attention of many fans because of the glowing red runes engraved on its blade. The Sith rune language alphabet, also known as ur-Kittat, can be translated into the Latin alphabet. A fan captured the ur-Kittat characters in the blade and translated them into Latin letters, hoping to find one Star Wars Easter egg, but they were quite disappointed with the results.

What does the text say about Darth Vader's Katana?

Apparently, the ur-Kittat characters can be translated to “PRUGJSNZIAWCDKGPJAD”, which means nothing, or so it seems. Some players thought this might mean something more than just a random combination of letters and tried searching for it in the YouTube URL bar or V-Bucks code redemption page, but it led nowhere. While most have accepted that it is probably nothing, others are confident that in the future it will be useful to crack a code or something.
