Fortnite Hunters brings a wealth of content to kick off the launch of Chapter 6, including an all-new map unique to the chapter, featuring a variety of grand locations, additional movement mechanics, and demonic bosses to battle. Alongside these map changes, players can get their hands on a wide arsenal of weaponry.
From the Fury Assault Rifle to the Oni Shotgun, this season’s weapons offer plenty of diversity. While these are excellent for ranged combat, players looking to get up close and personal may find the Typhoon Blade to be a perfect choice. Here’s how to get the Typhoon Blade in Fortnite.

Fortnite returns with Chapter 6 Season 1 with its Hunters season, and the Battle Pass features a few original goodies among its titan collabs.
How To Get The Typhoon Blade
The Typhoon Blade is an item of Epic Rarity that can be found on its own stand in designated areas of the map. Players can head over to any Typhoon Blade Stand and press the Interact Button to get the weapon for themselves. Typhoon Blade Stands can be found in the following locations:
- Shogun’s Solitude
- Lost Lake
For those looking to avoid battling it out at contested POIs, the Typhoon Blade can also be found in Chests and as floor loot. Obtaining the item this way will require a bit of luck, but it ensures that players can still get their hands on it even if the stand in their area has already been looted.
Players can also find a Mythic Typhoon Blade on the map, though getting it does require a bit of work. To acquire the Mythic version, players will need to defeat Shogun X.

How To Use The Typhoon Blade
The Typhoon Blade is a melee weapon that not only deals damage but can also be used as a mobility item, thanks to the range of abilities it provides. However, the weapon cannot be used indefinitely, as it consumes durability with each use. Once its durability runs out, players will lose the item entirely. Here is a quick breakdown of the Typhoon Blades’ abilities:
- Passive Ability: Provides players with increased sprint speed and reduced stamina consumption while the blade is equipped.
- Attack: Press the Shoot Button to perform a slash attack, dealing 30 damage per hit. Attacks can be chained together to perform a combo attack, with the final blow dealing 50 damage.
- Cyclone Slash: Press the Aim Button to launch in the direction the player is facing, dealing 90 damage to any opponent it hits. Will go into a 10-second countdown after each use.
- Wind Leap: Press the Jump Button during a sprint to leap into the air.
- Air Dash: Press the Jump Button in midair to dash forward.
