Feb 22,2025
This guide details Fortnite's Weapon Expertise Quests, a new feature in Chapter 6, Season 1 (Hunters). These quests reward XP and access to Legendary weapons.
Weapon Expertise Quests Overview
Weapon Expertise Quests are challenge chains (five stages each) tied to specific NPCs. Completing a quest unlocks a Legendary weapon from that NPC. The initial quest involves speaking to Hope, Ruji, or Agent Jones. Later quests unlock Oni Masks from Daigo and the Typhoon Blade from Kendo. These quests are tracked in the main lobby or in-game Quests tab. While completable passively, the rewards justify the effort.
