Author : Isabella Mar 29,2025

Fortnite Hunters propels Chapter 6 into an exhilarating new dimension, immersing players in a world inspired by Japanese Mythology. This season introduces players to new locations, formidable demon bosses, and a host of powerful items to discover. One of the standout features of Fortnite Hunters is the ability to teleport across the map using Void Oni Masks, and now, securing high-rarity weapons has become more accessible thanks to the introduction of Weapon Expertise Quests.

Weapon Expertise Quests are now live in Fortnite Hunters, offering players the chance to earn XP rewards for each completed stage. But the real prize comes from unlocking access to Legendary weapons sold by NPCs scattered across the map. Here's a comprehensive guide to understanding and completing these quests in Fortnite.

Updated on January 14, 2025, by Nathan Round: Fortnite Hunters continues to evolve with each update, introducing new Expertise Quests for players to tackle. This guide has been updated to include the latest Melee Expertise Quests, which, upon completion, allow players to purchase the Typhoon Blade from Kendo.

Weapon Expertise Quests Explained

Weapon Expertise Quests are a unique feature in Fortnite Hunters, intricately linked to specific NPCs on the map. Players are introduced to these quests through their initial interaction with Hope, Ruji, or Agent Jones, who provide insights into Expertise and weapon sales.

Each Weapon Expertise Quest comprises a series of challenges divided into five stages. Completing these stages unlocks one of three Legendary weapons sold by Hope, Ruji, or Vengeance Jones. Additionally, subsequent quests allow players to purchase both the Void and Fire Oni Masks from Daigo, and the Typhoon Blade from Kendo. These quests can be tracked in the main lobby or in-game by navigating to the Quests Tab and selecting Expertise Quests.
