Here's how you can get your hands on the Typhoon Blade in Fortnite.

Updated on January 15, 2025, by Nathan Round: The Typhoon Blade has quickly become a favorite for its mobility enhancement and prowess in melee combat. This guide has been revised to provide surefire methods for acquiring this sought-after weapon, offering valuable assistance to players eager to wield it.

How To Get The Typhoon Blade

Looting Typhoon Blade Stands

The most reliable method to acquire the Typhoon Blade is by looting it from designated Typhoon Blade Stands scattered across the map. These stands don't spawn every game, adding an element of chance to their discovery. Key locations to check include:

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

To claim the Typhoon Blade, simply approach a stand and press the Interact Button.

Chests & Floot Loot

For those preferring a less confrontational approach, the Typhoon Blade can also be found in Chests or as floor loot. While this method depends on luck, it's a viable alternative if the stands in your area have already been looted.

Defeating Demon Warriors

Another way to secure a Typhoon Blade is by defeating Demon Warriors, which appear at active portals around the map. Three spawn each match, and they're marked on the map for easy tracking. If a Demon Warrior is wielding a Typhoon Blade during combat, defeating them may yield the weapon, alongside one of two Oni Masks.

Purchase From Kendo

For a guaranteed acquisition, players can purchase the Typhoon Blade from Kendo, located northeast of Nightshift Forest. To unlock this option, you must first complete all five stages of Kendo's Melee Expertise Quests, after which you can exchange Gold Bars for the weapon.

Defeating Shogun X (Mythic Only)

To obtain the Mythic version of the Typhoon Blade, players must challenge and defeat Shogun X at Shogun's Arena. This method requires skill and strategy but rewards you with the powerful Mythic Typhoon Blade.

How To Use The Typhoon Blade

The Typhoon Blade is not just a melee weapon but also a mobility tool, thanks to its versatile abilities. However, it has limited durability and will be lost once it's fully consumed. Here's a breakdown of its key features:

• Passive Ability: Equipping the blade boosts your sprint speed and reduces stamina consumption.
• Attack: Use the Shoot Button to execute a slash attack, dealing 30 damage per hit. Chain attacks for a combo, with the final hit delivering 50 damage. It can also be used in midair for a downward attack that nullifies fall damage.
• Cyclone Slash: Activate with the Aim Button for a heavy attack that deals 90 damage and repels enemies. This ability has a 10-second cooldown.
• Wind Leap: During a sprint, press the Jump Button to leap into the air, nullifying fall damage.
• Air Dash: While airborne, press the Jump Button to dash forward, also negating fall damage.

By mastering the Typhoon Blade's unique abilities, players can enhance their mobility and dominate in close-quarters combat, making it a must-have weapon in Fortnite Chapter 6.
