The iconic Kinetic Blade from Chapter 4 Season 2 has made a thrilling return to Fortnite Battle Royale in Chapter 6 Season 1, also known as Fortnite Hunters. This season, players are not limited to just one katana; they can choose between the Kinetic Blade and the newly introduced Typhoon Blade.
This comprehensive guide will provide players with essential tips on locating the Kinetic Blade in Fortnite and mastering its use, helping them decide whether it's a better choice over the Typhoon Blade.
How to Find the Kinetic Blade in Fortnite
The Kinetic Blade is accessible in both Battle Royale Build and Zero Build modes. To secure this weapon, players should search for it as floor loot or inside regular and Rare chest containers.
Currently, the Kinetic Blade's drop rate appears to be relatively low. Additionally, the absence of dedicated katana stands, except for those of the Typhoon Blade, increases the challenge of finding it in-game.
How to Use the Kinetic Blade in Fortnite
The Kinetic Blade is a melee weapon that enables players to swiftly close in on opponents and deal significant damage before they can react.
Unlike the Typhoon Blade, which requires sprinting to increase speed, the Kinetic Blade's Dash Attack allows players to lunge forward, inflicting 60 damage on hit. This ability can be executed up to three times in succession before needing to recharge.
Alternatively, players can utilize the Knockback Slash, which deals 35 damage and forcefully pushes enemies back. If an opponent is knocked off a ledge with this attack, they may suffer additional fall damage, potentially leading to their elimination.
