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 offensive capabilities and enhanced mobility.
How to Get the Typhoon Blade
Several methods exist for acquiring this valuable weapon:
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, their appearance isn't guaranteed each match. Interact with the stand to obtain the blade.
2. Chests and Floor Loot: While less reliable, the Typhoon Blade can also be found within chests and as floor loot, offering a chance to acquire it without directly competing for spawns.
3. Defeating Demon Warriors: Demon Warriors, marked on the map, spawn near active portals. Defeating them may yield a Typhoon Blade (if they are equipped with one) or an Oni Mask.
4. Purchasing from Kendo: This is a guaranteed method. Find Kendo northeast of Nightshift Forest. Complete all five stages of his Melee Expertise Quests to unlock the purchase option using Gold Bars.
5. Defeating Shogun X (Mythic Variant): Defeating Shogun X at Shogun's Arena grants a Mythic Typhoon Blade, a more powerful version.
