Fortnite Hunters ushers in Chapter 6 with a brand-new map, brimming with exciting locations, enhanced movement mechanics, and formidable demonic bosses. This season's diverse weapon arsenal, from the Fury Assault Rifle to the Oni Shotgun, caters to various playstyles. But for close-quarters combat and a mobility boost, the Typhoon Blade reigns supreme. This guide details how to obtain this powerful weapon.

Updated January 15, 2025, by Nathan Round: The Typhoon Blade's popularity continues to soar, making it a top choice for both mobility and close-range combat. This guide has been updated to highlight guaranteed acquisition methods, ensuring players can easily get their hands on this sought-after weapon.

How To Get The Typhoon Blade

Looting Typhoon Blade Stands

The most reliable method is looting Typhoon Blade Stands scattered across the island. While these stands offer a chance to find the blade, they aren't guaranteed spawns. Prime locations include:

• Flooded Frogs
• Magic Mosses
• Lost Lake
• Nightshift Forest
• Shogun's Solitude

Simply interact with a stand to claim your Typhoon Blade.

Chests & Floor Loot

Prefer a less confrontational approach? The Typhoon Blade can also be found in chests and as floor loot. This method relies on luck but provides an alternative if stands are already looted.

Defeating Demon Warriors

Another way to acquire a Typhoon Blade is by defeating Demon Warriors. Three spawn at active portals each match, marked clearly on your map. While defeating them offers a chance to obtain the Typhoon Blade (if they're wielding it), they can also drop Oni Masks.

Purchase From Kendo

For a guaranteed acquisition, purchase the Typhoon Blade from Kendo using Gold Bars. Find him northeast of Nightshift Forest, but remember to complete all five stages of his Melee Expertise Quests first to unlock the purchase option.

Defeating Shogun X (Mythic Only)

A Mythic Typhoon Blade awaits those brave enough to defeat Shogun X in Shogun's Arena. This is a challenging but rewarding method for acquiring the most powerful version of the weapon.

How To Use The Typhoon Blade

The Typhoon Blade is a versatile melee weapon offering both damage and mobility. However, its durability is finite; overuse will result in its loss.

Here's a breakdown of its abilities:

• Passive Ability: Increased sprint speed and reduced stamina consumption while equipped.
• Attack: A slash attack dealing 30 damage per hit, chainable into a combo attack (final hit: 50 damage). A downward attack nullifies fall damage.
• Cyclone Slash: A heavy attack (90 damage) that knocks enemies back. Has a 10-second cooldown.
• Wind Leap: Leap into the air while sprinting, nullifying fall damage.
• Air Dash: Dash forward in midair, nullifying fall damage.
