Fortnite Hunters ushers in Chapter 6 with a brand-new map, brimming with exciting locations, enhanced movement mechanics, and formidable demonic bosses. This season boasts a diverse weapon arsenal, from the Fury Assault Rifle to the Oni Shotgun. But for close-quarters combat and a mobility advantage, the Typhoon Blade reigns supreme. This guide shows you how to acquire it.

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 with guaranteed acquisition methods to assist players in obtaining this powerful weapon.

How To Get The Typhoon Blade

Looting Typhoon Blade Stands

The most reliable method is looting Typhoon Blade Stands. These stands are located at specific points across the island, but their appearance isn't guaranteed at each location. Prime locations include:

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

Simply interact with a stand to claim your blade.

Chests & Floor Loot

For a less confrontational approach, try your luck with chests and floor loot. While less reliable, it offers a chance to obtain the Typhoon Blade even if the stands are already looted.

Defeating Demon Warriors

Another method involves defeating Demon Warriors. Three spawn at active portals each match, marked on your map. Defeating them might yield a Typhoon Blade (if they're carrying one), but they also drop Oni Masks.

Purchase From Kendo

For a guaranteed Typhoon Blade, visit Kendo northeast of Nightshift Forest. However, you must first complete all five stages of his Melee Expertise Quests 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 requires significantly more effort.

How To Use The Typhoon Blade

The Typhoon Blade is a melee weapon doubling as a mobility tool, but its durability depletes with each use. Once depleted, the blade is lost.

Here's a breakdown of its abilities:

• Passive Ability: Increased sprint speed and reduced stamina consumption while equipped.
• Attack: A slashing attack dealing 30 damage per hit, chainable into a combo for 50 damage on the final blow. Can be used mid-air for a downward attack negating fall damage.
• Cyclone Slash: A heavy attack (90 damage) that knocks enemies back. Has a 10-second cooldown.
• Wind Leap: A high jump during a sprint, negating fall damage.
• Air Dash: A forward dash in mid-air, negating fall damage.
