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. Here's your complete guide to acquiring 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 include guaranteed acquisition methods, ensuring even struggling players can wield its power.

How To Get The Typhoon Blade

Looting Typhoon Blade Stands

The most reliable method is locating and looting a Typhoon Blade Stand. These stands appear at specific points across the island, but their spawn isn't guaranteed. Prime locations include:

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

Simply interact with the stand to claim your blade.

Chests & Floor Loot

Prefer a less confrontational approach? The Typhoon Blade can also be found in chests and as floor loot. While luck-based, this method offers a chance to acquire the blade even if stands are already looted.

Defeating Demon Warriors

Another way to obtain a Typhoon Blade is by defeating Demon Warriors. These enemies spawn at active portals (three per match) and are 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 acquisition, visit Kendo, located 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. Be warned, this is a challenging encounter.

How To Use The Typhoon Blade

The Typhoon Blade is a versatile melee weapon offering both damage and mobility. Its durability depletes with each use, resulting in its eventual loss.

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 finishing with 50 damage. Also usable mid-air for a downward attack that negates fall damage.
• Cyclone Slash: A heavy attack (90 damage) that knocks enemies back. Enters a 10-second cooldown after use.
• Wind Leap: Leap into the air while sprinting (negates fall damage).
• Air Dash: Dash forward in mid-air (negates fall damage).
