Fortnite: Mastering the Typhoon Blade Acquisition
Fortnite Chapter 6 kicks off with an exciting array of new content, including a unique map filled with grand locations, enhanced movement mechanics, and challenging demonic bosses. Among the new weaponry introduced, the Typhoon Blade stands out as a versatile choice for players seeking an edge in close-quarters combat and mobility. Here's how to get your hands on the Typhoon Blade in Fortnite.
This guide was updated on January 15, 2025, by Nathan Round to include the most reliable methods for acquiring the Typhoon Blade, helping players who might be struggling to find this coveted item.
How To Get The Typhoon Blade
Looting Typhoon Blade Stands
The most reliable way to acquire the Typhoon Blade is by looting it from a Typhoon Blade Stand. These stands are strategically placed at designated spawn points around the island, although they don't spawn every time. Key locations to check include:
- Flooded Frogs
- Magic Mosses
- Lost Lake
- Nightshift Forest
- Shogun's Solitude
Once you locate a stand, simply approach it and press the Interact Button to claim the Typhoon Blade.
Chests & Floor Loot
If you prefer to avoid high-traffic areas, you can also find the Typhoon Blade in Chests or as floor loot. This method relies on luck, but it's a viable alternative if the stands in your area have already been looted.
Defeating Demon Warriors
Another way to obtain the Typhoon Blade is by defeating Demon Warriors. These formidable foes spawn at active portals across the map, with three appearing each match. They're marked on the map for easy tracking. If a Demon Warrior is carrying a Typhoon Blade, defeating them could yield the weapon, along with the possibility of obtaining one of two Oni Masks.
Purchase From Kendo
For a guaranteed acquisition of the Typhoon Blade, you can purchase it from Kendo using Gold Bars. Kendo is located northeast of Nightshift Forest. However, you'll need to complete all five stages of his Melee Expertise Quests first to unlock the option to buy the Typhoon Blade from him.
Defeating Shogun X (Mythic Only)
The Mythic version of the Typhoon Blade can be obtained by defeating Shogun X at Shogun's Arena. This requires some effort, but the reward is well worth it.
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, keep in mind that it has limited durability, which decreases with each use. Once the durability is exhausted, you'll lose the weapon.
Here's a breakdown of the Typhoon Blade's abilities:
- Passive Ability: Increases sprint speed and reduces stamina consumption when equipped.
- Attack: Press the Shoot Button to perform a slash attack, dealing 30 damage per hit. Chain attacks for a combo, with the final hit dealing 50 damage. Use in midair for a downward attack that nullifies fall damage.
- Cyclone Slash: Press the Aim Button for a heavy attack, dealing 90 damage and pushing enemies back. This ability has a 10-second cooldown.
- Wind Leap: Press the Jump Button during a sprint to leap into the air, nullifying fall damage.
- Air Dash: Press the Jump Button in midair to dash forward, also nullifying fall damage.
