The beloved Kinetic Blade from Chapter 4 Season 2 has made a triumphant return in Fortnite Battle Royale for Chapter 6 Season 1, dubbed Fortnite Hunters. This season, players have the exciting choice between the Kinetic Blade and the newly introduced Typhoon Blade. This guide will equip you with all the essential information on locating and mastering the Kinetic Blade, helping you decide if it's the right weapon for you over the Typhoon Blade.

How to Find the Kinetic Blade in Fortnite

The Kinetic Blade can be found in both Battle Royale Build and Zero Build modes. To get your hands on this elusive weapon, keep an eye out for it as floor loot or within regular and Rare chests.

Be warned, though—the drop rate for the Kinetic Blade is currently quite low. Furthermore, the absence of dedicated katana stands, unlike the Typhoon Blade Stands, adds an extra layer of challenge to finding it in-game.

How to Use the Kinetic Blade in Fortnite

The Kinetic Blade is a formidable melee weapon that lets you swiftly close the gap and deal damage to opponents before they know what hit them.

Unlike the Typhoon Blade, which requires sprinting to increase speed, the Kinetic Blade utilizes the Dash Attack to lunge forward. This move not only propels you but also inflicts 60 damage on hit. You can perform this attack up to three times in a row before needing to recharge.

For a different approach, the Knockback Slash can be employed. This attack deals 35 damage and, as the name suggests, knocks opponents back. If they're thrown off a ledge or into a hazard, they could suffer fall damage or even be eliminated from the game.
