By MaxApr 22,2025

Fortnite Hunters brings a wealth of content to kick off the launch of Chapter 6, including an all-new map unique to the chapter, featuring a variety of grand locations, additional movement mechanics, and demonic bosses to battle. Alongside these map changes, players can get their hands on a wide arsenal of weaponry.

From the Fury Assault Rifle to the Oni Shotgun, this season's weapons offer plenty of diversity. While these are excellent for ranged combat, players looking to get up close and personal may find the Typhoon Blade to be a perfect choice. Here’s how to get the Typhoon Blade in Fortnite.

Updated on January 15, 2025, by Nathan Round: The Typhoon Blade has quickly become one of the go-to weapons for both gaining a mobility boost and excelling in close-quarters combat. This guide has been updated to include guaranteed methods for acquiring the Typhoon Blade, providing a helpful boost for players struggling to find the 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 located at designated spawn points around the island. However, they do not spawn every time. Some notable locations to check include:

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

To obtain the weapon, simply locate a Typhoon Blade Stand and press the Interact Button.

Chests & Floor Loot

If you prefer to avoid crowded areas, you can also find the Typhoon Blade in Chests or as floor loot. This method relies on luck, but it's a viable option if the stands in your area have already been looted.

Defeating Demon Warriors

Another way to get a Typhoon Blade is by defeating a Demon Warrior. These enemies spawn at three active portals each match and are marked on the map. Defeating them might yield a Typhoon Blade if they're wielding one, though they can also drop one of two Oni Masks.

Purchase From Kendo

For a guaranteed way to acquire the Typhoon Blade, you can purchase it 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 purchase option.

Defeating Shogun X (Mythic Only)

To obtain the Mythic version of the Typhoon Blade, you need to defeat Shogun X at Shogun's Arena. This method requires some effort but rewards you with the powerful Mythic variant.

How To Use The Typhoon Blade

The Typhoon Blade is not just a melee weapon; it also serves as a mobility tool thanks to its various abilities. However, it has limited durability, which decreases with each use. Once the durability is depleted, the weapon is lost.

Here's a quick breakdown of the Typhoon Blade's abilities:

  • Passive Ability: Increases sprint speed and reduces stamina consumption while equipped.
  • Attack: Press the Shoot Button to perform a slash attack, dealing 30 damage per hit. Chain attacks for a combo, with the final blow 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 knocking 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.
