Updated on January 15, 2025, by Nathan Round: The Typhoon Blade has become a favorite for its dual purpose as a melee weapon and a mobility enhancer. This guide has been updated to provide guaranteed methods for acquiring the Typhoon Blade, helping players who struggle to find it.

How To Get The Typhoon Blade

Looting Typhoon Blade Stands

The most reliable way to obtain the Typhoon Blade is by looting it from a Typhoon Blade Stand. These stands are scattered at designated spawn points across the island, though they don't always appear at every match. 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 also find the Typhoon Blade in Chests or as floor loot. This method relies on luck, but it's a viable option even if the stands in your area have already been looted.

Defeating Demon Warriors

Another way to get the Typhoon Blade is by defeating a Demon Warrior. These enemies spawn at three active portals each match and are marked on the map. While defeating them guarantees a drop if they're carrying the blade, they might also drop one of two Oni Masks.

Purchase From Kendo

For a guaranteed method, players can purchase the Typhoon Blade from Kendo using Gold Bars. Kendo is located northeast of Nightshift Forest, but you must complete all five stages of his Melee Expertise Quests first to unlock the purchase option.

Defeating Shogun X (Mythic Only)

To obtain the Mythic version of the Typhoon Blade, you must defeat Shogun X at Shogun's Arena. This challenge is worth it for the powerful weapon it yields.

How To Use The Typhoon Blade

The Typhoon Blade is not only a melee weapon but also a mobility tool, featuring a variety of abilities that consume durability. Once the durability is exhausted, the blade will be lost.

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

Passive Ability: Increases sprint speed and reduces stamina consumption while equipped.
Attack: Press the Shoot Button to slash, dealing 30 damage per hit. Chain attacks for a combo, with the final hit dealing 50 damage. Use in midair for a downward attack that nullifies fall damage.
Cyclone Slash: Press the Aim Button for a heavy attack, dealing 90 damage and knocking enemies back. This ability has a 10-second cooldown.
Wind Leap: Press the Jump Button during a sprint to leap into the air, nullifying fall damage.
Air Dash: Press the Jump Button in midair to dash forward, also nullifying fall damage.

With these strategies and tips, you'll be well-equipped to master the Typhoon Blade and enhance your gameplay in Fortnite Chapter 6.
