Updated on January 15, 2025, by Nathan Round: The Typhoon Blade has become a favorite among players for its mobility enhancements and prowess in close combat. This guide has been revised to include guaranteed methods for obtaining the Typhoon Blade, helping players who are struggling to locate this powerful weapon.
How To Get The Typhoon Blade
Looting Typhoon Blade Stands
The most reliable method to obtain the Typhoon Blade is by looting it from Typhoon Blade Stands. These stands appear at specific points across the island, though they don't always spawn. Key locations 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 to avoid high-traffic areas, you can still 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 if the stands in your vicinity have already been looted.
Defeating Demon Warriors
Another way to acquire a Typhoon Blade is by defeating Demon Warriors. These formidable foes spawn at three active portals each match, and their locations are marked on the map. Defeating a Demon Warrior who wields a Typhoon Blade increases your chances of obtaining one, though they may also drop one of two Oni Masks instead.
Purchase From Kendo
For a guaranteed method, players can purchase the Typhoon Blade from Kendo using Gold Bars. Located northeast of Nightshift Forest, Kendo will sell the weapon once you've completed all five stages of his Melee Expertise Quests.
Defeating Shogun X (Mythic Only)
To get your hands on the Mythic version of the Typhoon Blade, you'll need to defeat Shogun X at Shogun's Arena. This challenging encounter offers the reward of a powerful Mythic weapon.
How To Use The Typhoon Blade
The Typhoon Blade is not just a melee weapon but also a mobility tool, thanks to its unique abilities. However, it has limited durability, which decreases with each use until the weapon is lost.
Here's a detailed look at the Typhoon Blade's abilities:
- Passive Ability: Equipping the Typhoon Blade increases your sprint speed and reduces stamina consumption, making it ideal for quick getaways or closing the gap on opponents.
- Attack: Press the Shoot Button to execute a slash attack, dealing 30 damage per hit. Chain these attacks for a combo, with the final hit dealing 50 damage. You can also perform a downward attack in midair, which prevents fall damage.
- Cyclone Slash: Use the Aim Button to unleash a heavy attack, dealing 90 damage and pushing enemies away. This ability has a 10-second cooldown.
- Wind Leap: During a sprint, press the Jump Button to leap into the air, negating fall damage.
- Air Dash: While airborne, press the Jump Button to dash forward, also nullifying fall damage.
Mastering the Typhoon Blade's abilities can give you a significant advantage in Fortnite Chapter 6, enhancing both your mobility and combat effectiveness.
