You Can Customize Your Lightsaber in Star Wars Jedi: Survivor and Here’s How

The game will let you customize your lightsaber or, at least, its appearance. You can’t do anything as elaborate as adding a laser crossguard, (You’ll need the actual crossguard stance for that.) but you can alter it in other ways. You change the material it’s made out of, the appearance of individual parts, and more.

You can also alter the color of the blade, so if you’re a Mace Windu fan you can have your own purple lightsaber (insert your own filthy joke here). All the lightsaber colors are unlocked from the start, though you gather other materials as you progress through the game. You’ll find materials in boxes and so forth, so it’s worth wandering off the beaten track.

You customize your lightsaber using workbenches, which are found in various places around the game. However, you only get access to workbenches when you’ve completed the Coruscant level and reached your ship. From that point on you can customize your saber.

Here is the full answer to whether you can customize your lightsaber in Star Wars Jedi: Survivor and, if so, by how much.

Does Customizing Your Lightsaber Make It Do More Damage?

So, if you were wondering if you can customize your lightsaber in Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, that’s what you need to know.
