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 the Typhoon Blade:
1. Typhoon Blade Stands: These stands are located at various points across the map. While not guaranteed spawns, they represent the most reliable method. Check locations like Flooded Frogs, Magic Mosses, Lost Lake, Nightshift Forest, and Shogun's Solitude. Interact with the stand to claim the weapon.
2. Chests and Floor Loot: The Typhoon Blade can also be found as random loot within chests or scattered on the ground. This method relies on luck but offers an alternative if stands are already looted.
3. Defeating Demon Warriors: Demon Warriors, marked on the map, have a chance of dropping the Typhoon Blade upon defeat. They spawn at active portals, three per match. Note that they may also drop Oni Masks.
4. Purchasing from Kendo: This is a guaranteed method. Locate 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 Version): Defeating Shogun X in Shogun's Arena yields a Mythic Typhoon Blade.
