How to get and use the Typhoon Blade in Fortnite

The Typhoon Blade is a katana added in Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 1: Demon Hunters.

The Typhoon Blade provides you with new movement options while allowing you to deal a lot of damage to other players. The only problem is getting your hands on one. They can be a little difficult to find as their locations will vary on a per match basis, but you can find them in a couple fixed locations.

Here’s how to get a Typhoon Blade and how to use them in Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 1.

How to get the Typhoon Blade in Fortnite

Similar to other loot, the Typhoon Blade can be found in chests and or on the ground, but it can also be found on dedicated stands scattered around the map.

The Typhoon Blade stands can be found in quite a few locations around the map in Chapter 6 Season 1, but only a few of the stand locations are fixed.

Here are the fixed stand locations that we’ve found so far:

• Inside the bamboo circle to the south of the Masked Meadows
• Inside of the Night Shift Vault

Here are the random stand locations that we’ve found so far:

• Shogun’s Solitude (Main building and southern building)
• Lost Lake (Northern building)
• Nightshift Forest (Main building)

Meanwhile, a mythic version of the Typhoon Blade can be obtained by defeating Shogun X, a boss that teleports around the map and spawns atop the randomly appearing floating islands, and a source of one of the oni masks.

The Typhoon Blade has a multitude of functionalities that allow you to deal a ton of damage and improve your movement abilities.

The Typhoon Blade has three different attacks:

• Default Attack: Swing the blade with your “Fire/Melee” key and deal 30 damage per slash.
• Falling Strike: Leap into the air and use your “Fire/Melee” key to slam onto the ground.
• Cyclone Slash: Use your “Target” or “Aim Down Sights” key to charge up a slash dealing 90 damage and knocking away nearby enemies.

The Typhoon Blade has two different movement abilities:

• Wind Leap: Jump while sprinting to reach higher heights and negate fall damage.
• Air Dash: After performing Wind Leap, jump in the air to dash forward.

In addition to the movement abilities, the Typhoon Blade will allow you to sprint faster and consume less stamina while sprinting.
