Fortnite: How To Get The Typhoon Blade

Fortnite Hunters introduces an exhilarating start to Chapter 6, with a fresh map teeming with unique locations, new movement mechanics, and formidable demonic bosses. Alongside these changes, players have access to a diverse range of weaponry. From the Fury Assault Rifle to the Oni Shotgun, the season offers plenty of options for long-range engagements. However, for those who prefer the thrill of close-quarters combat, the Typhoon Blade stands out as an ideal choice. Here's how to get your hands on the Typhoon Blade in Fortnite.

Updated on January 15, 2025, by Nathan Round: The Typhoon Blade has rapidly become a favorite among players for its mobility boost and effectiveness in close combat. This guide has been updated to include the most reliable methods for acquiring the Typhoon Blade, ensuring you can master this powerful weapon.

Looting Typhoon Blade Stands

The most consistent way to obtain the Typhoon Blade is by looting it from a Typhoon Blade Stand. These stands are scattered across the island at designated spawn points. While they don't always appear, checking these locations increases your chances:

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

Once you locate a stand, simply approach and press the Interact Button to claim the Typhoon Blade.

Chests & Floor Loot

If you prefer avoiding high-traffic areas, you can also find the Typhoon Blade in Chests or as floor loot. This method relies more on luck, but it's a viable alternative if the stands near you have already been looted.

Defeating Demon Warriors

Another way to acquire the Typhoon Blade is by defeating Demon Warriors. These enemies spawn at three active portals each match, and their locations are marked on the map. Defeating a Demon Warrior who is wielding the Typhoon Blade during combat gives you a chance to loot it. Keep in mind, they might also drop one of two Oni Masks.

Purchase From Kendo

For a guaranteed acquisition, you can purchase the Typhoon Blade from Kendo using Gold Bars. Kendo is located northeast of Nightshift Forest, but you must first complete all five stages of his Melee Expertise Quests to unlock the option to buy the blade from him.

Defeating Shogun X (Mythic Only)

For those seeking the Mythic version of the Typhoon Blade, you'll need to defeat Shogun X at Shogun's Arena. This method requires skill and preparation but rewards you with a powerful variant of the weapon.

How To Use The Typhoon Blade

The Typhoon Blade is not just a melee weapon; it also enhances your mobility with a range of abilities. However, remember that it has limited durability and will be lost once it's used up. Here's a quick overview of its abilities:

• Passive Ability: Increases sprint speed and reduces stamina consumption while equipped.
• Attack: Press the Shoot Button to execute a slash attack, dealing 30 damage per hit. Chain attacks for a combo, with the final hit dealing 50 damage. Use it in midair for a downward strike that cancels fall damage.
• Cyclone Slash: Press the Aim Button to perform a heavy attack, dealing 90 damage and pushing enemies back. This ability goes on a 10-second cooldown after use.
• Wind Leap: Press the Jump Button during a sprint to leap into the air, negating fall damage.
• Air Dash: Press the Jump Button in midair to dash forward, also nullifying fall damage.
