Updated on January 15, 2025, by Nathan Round: The Typhoon Blade has quickly become a favored weapon for its mobility benefits and effectiveness in close-range combat. This guide has been updated to include guaranteed methods for acquiring the Typhoon Blade, helping players who are struggling to find it.

How To Get The Typhoon Blade

Looting Typhoon Blade Stands

The most reliable method to acquire the Typhoon Blade is by looting it from Typhoon Blade Stands scattered across the map. These stands are not guaranteed to spawn at every location, but key areas to check include:

• Flooded Frogs
• Magic Mosses
• Lost Lake
• Nightshift Forest
• Shogun's Solitude

To claim the Typhoon Blade, simply approach a stand and press the Interact Button.

Chests & Floor Loot

If you prefer avoiding high-traffic areas, you can also find the Typhoon Blade in Chests or as floor loot. While this method relies on luck, it provides an alternative way to secure the weapon even if the stands in your vicinity have been looted.

Defeating Demon Warriors

Another way to obtain the Typhoon Blade is by defeating Demon Warriors, which spawn at three active portals per match and are marked on the map. Defeating a Demon Warrior wielding the Typhoon Blade gives you a chance to loot it, along with the possibility of obtaining one of two Oni Masks.

Purchase From Kendo

For a guaranteed way to acquire the Typhoon Blade, head to Kendo, located northeast of Nightshift Forest. You can purchase the blade from him using Gold Bars, but first, you must complete all five stages of his Melee Expertise Quests to unlock this option.

Defeating Shogun X (Mythic Only)

To get the Mythic version of the Typhoon Blade, you'll need to defeat Shogun X at Shogun's Arena. This is a challenging but rewarding endeavor.

How To Use The Typhoon Blade

The Typhoon Blade is not just a melee weapon; it also serves as a mobility tool with various abilities. However, its use is limited by durability, which depletes with each action. Once the durability is exhausted, the blade is lost.

Here’s a breakdown of the Typhoon Blade's abilities:

• Passive Ability: Equipping the blade increases sprint speed and reduces stamina consumption.
• Attack: Press the Shoot Button to perform a slash attack, dealing 30 damage per hit. Chain attacks to execute a combo, with the final hit dealing 50 damage. In midair, use it for a downward attack that cancels fall damage.
• Cyclone Slash: Press the Aim Button to execute a heavy attack, dealing 90 damage and knocking enemies back. 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 significantly enhance your gameplay in Fortnite Chapter 6, offering both offensive and mobility advantages in the heat of battle.
