Fortnite players, rejoice! The much-loved Kinetic Blade from Chapter 4 Season 2 has made its triumphant return in Chapter 6 Season 1, now dubbed Fortnite Hunters. This season, however, the Kinetic Blade is not the lone katana in the arsenal. Players also have the option of using the new Typhoon Blade introduced at the beginning of this season, giving them some intriguing choices in what weaponry to wield.
Let’s dive into the details and explore how you can get your hands on the Kinetic Blade and make the most of it. This guide is here to help you discover where to find this dynamic weapon and how to use it effectively, enabling you to decide if it should replace the Typhoon Blade in your loadout.
### How to Find the Kinetic Blade in Fortnite
The Kinetic Blade is available to players in both Battle Royale Build and Zero Build modes, and it can be found as floor loot or tucked away in regular and Rare chests. However, don’t expect it to pop up frequently; the drop rate is relatively low at the moment. Unlike the more common Typhoon Blade Stands, you won’t find dedicated stands for the Kinetic Blade, which adds to the challenge of acquiring it in-game.
### How to Use the Kinetic Blade in Fortnite
Once you manage to obtain the Kinetic Blade, you’ll find it to be a formidable melee weapon. It’s designed to allow you to close distances with opponents rapidly and dish out damage before they even realize what’s happening.
The big difference comes in movement dynamics compared to the Typhoon Blade. While Typhoon Blade users need to sprint for speed, the Kinetic Blade provides a Dash Attack. This attack propels you forward and inflicts a solid 60 damage on any enemies you hit. Just remember, it has a cap: you can only use it thrice consecutively before needing a recharge.
But that’s not all. The Kinetic Blade also offers the Knockback Slash, delivering 35 damage and pushing foes back. This attack can be particularly strategic, as it might cause your adversaries to suffer fall damage if they’re thrown from heights.
Whether you prefer the graceful devastation of the Kinetic Blade or the power-packed presence of the Typhoon Blade, these weapons add a refreshing layer of strategy to Fortnite’s vibrant gunfights. Choose wisely, and may the best blade win your battles.
