This guide details how to obtain and utilize the Typhoon Blade in Fortnite Chapter 6. The Typhoon Blade is a powerful melee weapon offering both combat and mobility advantages.
How to Get the Typhoon Blade
Several methods exist for acquiring the Typhoon Blade:
1. Typhoon Blade Stands:
These stands are scattered across the map at various locations, including Flooded Frogs, Magic Mosses, Lost Lake, Nightshift Forest, and Shogun's Solitude. However, they don't guarantee a Typhoon Blade spawn each match. Simply interact with the stand to obtain the weapon if one is present.
2. Chests and Floor Loot:
While less reliable, the Typhoon Blade can also be found randomly within chests and as floor loot. This is a good alternative if all nearby stands are empty.
3. Defeating Demon Warriors:
Demon Warriors, marked on the map, spawn near active portals. Defeating them offers a chance to loot a Typhoon Blade (if they are wielding one). They may also drop Oni Masks.
4. Purchasing from Kendo:
This is a guaranteed method. Find Kendo (northeast of Nightshift Forest) and complete his five Melee Expertise Quests. Upon completion, you can purchase the Typhoon Blade using Gold Bars.
5. Defeating Shogun X (Mythic Version):
Defeating Shogun X at Shogun's Arena yields a Mythic Typhoon Blade.
