This guide details Fortnite's Weapon Expertise Quests, a new feature in Chapter 6, Season 1 (Hunters), rewarding players with XP and access to Legendary weapons. These quests are tied to specific NPCs and involve completing five stages of challenges.
Weapon Expertise Quests Explained:
Weapon Expertise Quests introduce a unique progression system. Initial quests involve speaking with Hope, Ruji, or Agent Jones to learn about Expertise and weapon sales. Each questline consists of five challenges, culminating in the ability to purchase a Legendary weapon from a specific NPC.
