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 this valuable weapon:
1. Typhoon Blade Stands:
These stands, located at various points across the map (including Flooded Frogs, Magic Mosses, Lost Lake, Nightshift Forest, and Shogun's Solitude), offer a chance to directly loot the Typhoon Blade. However, they don't always contain the weapon.
2. Chests and Floor Loot:
Alternatively, the Typhoon Blade may appear randomly within chests or as floor loot. This method relies on luck but provides an alternative if stands are empty.
3. Defeating Demon Warriors:
Demon Warriors, marked on the map and spawning near active portals, have a chance to drop the Typhoon Blade if they are wielding it. They also carry Oni Masks.
4. Purchasing from Kendo:
A guaranteed method involves purchasing the Typhoon Blade from Kendo (northeast of Nightshift Forest) using Gold Bars. This requires completing all five stages of his Melee Expertise Quests.
5. Defeating Shogun X (Mythic Version):
Defeating Shogun X at Shogun's Arena yields a Mythic Typhoon Blade, the most powerful variant.
How to Use the Typhoon Blade
The Typhoon Blade's durability depletes with each use, leading to its eventual destruction. Its abilities include:
