The iconic Kinetic Blade from Chapter 4 Season 2 has made a thrilling return to Fortnite Battle Royale in Chapter 6 Season 1, dubbed Fortnite Hunters. Alongside it, players now have the option to wield either the Kinetic Blade or the newly introduced Typhoon Blade. This guide is designed to equip players with all the essential information on locating the Kinetic Blade and mastering its use, helping them make an informed choice between the two katanas.
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 it, keep an eye out for it as floor loot or search through regular and Rare chest containers. Be aware that the drop rate for the Kinetic Blade is currently quite low, making it a challenging item to locate. Additionally, with no dedicated katana stands other than those for the Typhoon Blade, your search might take a bit longer.
How to Use the Kinetic Blade in Fortnite
The Kinetic Blade is a formidable melee weapon that allows for swift movement and surprise attacks. Unlike the Typhoon Blade, which requires sprinting for speed, the Kinetic Blade utilizes a unique Dash Attack to lunge forward. This attack can inflict 60 damage on opponents if it connects and can be executed up to three times in a row before needing to recharge.
For a different approach, players can opt for the Knockback Slash attack, which deals 35 damage and sends enemies flying backward. This can lead to additional fall damage or even elimination if the thrown opponent lands from a significant height. Mastering these techniques will give players a competitive edge in Fortnite Hunters.
