The Fortnite Star Wars event has a lot going on, but Fortnite's Droid Tycoon mode is where things get genuinely deep. One of the Unleash the Force quest series objectives asks you to use the Rebirth Station to Rebirth, and if you've never touched a Tycoon mode before, that sentence probably means nothing to you. Here's everything you need to know to get it done.
What does Rebirthing actually do?
Rebirthing is a prestige-style mechanic that trades your current Credits for permanent production bonuses. You lose all your Credits when you activate it, but your droid output and efficiency increase afterward, meaning you'll earn Credits faster in every subsequent run. The short-term loss is worth it for the long-term gains, especially if you plan to keep playing Droid Tycoon beyond the event quest.
For the Unleash the Force event quest, you only need to complete a single Rebirth. The first one is the most accessible, so don't stress about grinding toward higher Rebirth levels just for the quest reward.
Rebirth Station in Droid Tycoon
How to unlock the Rebirth Station
You cannot build the Rebirth Station from the start of a session. The option to purchase it unlocks shortly after you open the Firing Range area in your base. Station progression in Droid Tycoon is largely linear, tied to the quest list displayed in the bottom-left corner of your screen. Keep completing those quests in order, and the Rebirth Station will become available naturally.
Once unlocked, the station costs 4,000 Credits to build. If you're short on Credits, collect the drops from your active droids and swing your Pickaxe at the Scrap Station a few times to top up quickly.
Check the quest list in the bottom-left corner regularly. Each completed quest unlocks the next station or upgrade, so ignoring those objectives will slow your progression significantly.
What are the requirements for the first Rebirth?
After building the Rebirth Station, interact with it to see the full list of bonuses and requirements. The first Rebirth demands all of the following:
The Credits threshold is straightforward to reach with a functioning droid setup. The droids are the trickier part. Stock at the Sandcrawler rotates randomly, so the specific droids you need may not appear immediately. Keep checking back and focus on building up your base production in the meantime.

How to complete the Rebirth
Here's the full process from start to finish, based on information documented by Destructoid:
- Progress through the main quests until you receive the one that unlocks the Rebirth Station. You cannot skip ahead.
- Spend 4,000 Credits to purchase and build the Rebirth Station at your base.
- Interact with the station to review the bonuses and confirm the requirements for your first Rebirth.
- Accumulate 10,000 Credits while also acquiring a C8 Droid, a Pit Droid, and a DRK-1 Probe from the Sandcrawler.
- Return to the Rebirth Station once all conditions are met and select the Rebirth option to complete the process.
Activating the Rebirth will wipe your current Credit balance. Make sure you have exactly what you need before confirming, since you cannot undo the action once it's triggered.
The requirements scale up for every subsequent Rebirth, but since the event quest only asks for one completion, you just need to clear that first threshold.
Tips for reaching the first Rebirth faster
- Prioritize droid production early. The more droids you have working, the faster Credits accumulate passively.
- Check the Sandcrawler on every visit. Stock rotates, and the C8 Droid, Pit Droid, and DRK-1 Probe can appear at any time.
- Use your Pickaxe on the Scrap Station for quick Credit injections when you're close to a threshold.
- Don't spend Credits carelessly once you're approaching 10,000. Every unnecessary purchase delays your Rebirth.
What comes after your first Rebirth?
Once you've completed the Rebirth and checked off the event quest, you'll have unlocked permanent production bonuses that make future Credit farming noticeably faster. The mode has 15 total Rebirth levels, each with escalating costs and Droid requirements, so there's plenty of depth if you want to keep pushing.
