Updated on January 15, 2025, by Nathan Round: The Typhoon Blade has quickly become a favorite among players, offering both a mobility boost and exceptional performance in close combat. This guide has been updated to include guaranteed methods for obtaining the Typhoon Blade, providing crucial tips for players eager to wield this powerful weapon.
How To Get The Typhoon Blade
Looting Typhoon Blade Stands
The most straightforward and reliable method to obtain the Typhoon Blade is by looting it from a Typhoon Blade Stand. These stands can be found at various designated spots across the island, though they don't always spawn. Key locations to check include:
- Flooded Frogs
- Magic Mosses
- Lost Lake
- Nightshift Forest
- Shogun's Solitude
Simply locate a stand and press the Interact Button to claim your Typhoon Blade.
Chests & Floor Loot
If you prefer avoiding high-traffic areas, you can also find the Typhoon Blade in Chests or as floor loot. This method relies on luck, but it's a viable alternative if the stands in your vicinity have been looted already.
Defeating Demon Warriors
Another way to secure a Typhoon Blade is by defeating a Demon Warrior. These formidable foes spawn at three active portals each match, marked on the map for easy tracking. Defeating them may yield a Typhoon Blade if they're carrying one, but they might also drop one of two Oni Masks instead.
Purchase From Kendo
For a guaranteed acquisition, you can purchase the Typhoon Blade from Kendo using Gold Bars. Kendo is located northeast of Nightshift Forest. To unlock this option, you must first complete all five stages of his Melee Expertise Quests.
Defeating Shogun X (Mythic Only)
For the ultimate challenge, players can obtain the Mythic version of the Typhoon Blade by defeating Shogun X at Shogun's Arena. This version is a prized possession, offering superior performance.
3How To Use The Typhoon Blade
The Typhoon Blade is not just a melee weapon; it's also a tool for enhanced mobility. However, it has a durability system, and once it's depleted, you'll lose the weapon. Here’s a breakdown of its abilities:
- Passive Ability: Equipping the Typhoon Blade increases your sprint speed and reduces stamina consumption.
- Attack: Press the Shoot Button to execute a slash attack, dealing 30 damage per hit. Chain attacks for a combo, with the final hit dealing 50 damage. Use it in midair for a downward attack that negates fall damage.
- Cyclone Slash: Press the Aim Button for a heavy attack, dealing 90 damage and repelling 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: In midair, press the Jump Button to dash forward, also nullifying fall damage.
Mastering the Typhoon Blade can give you a significant edge in Fortnite Chapter 6, making it a must-have for any player looking to excel in close combat and navigate the map with ease.
