Weapon Expertise Quests Explained
Weapon Expertise Quests introduce a novel mechanic to Fortnite Hunters, closely linked to specific NPCs across the map. Players are first introduced to this system through an initial quest where they must speak with Hope, Ruji, or Agent Jones to learn about Expertise and weapon sales.
Each Expertise Quest comprises five stages of challenges. Upon completion, players can unlock one of three Legendary weapons from Hope, Ruji, or Vengeance Jones. New quests have also been added, allowing players to purchase Oni Masks from Daigo and the Typhoon Blade from Kendo. These quests can be tracked in the main lobby or in-game via the Quests Tab under Expertise Quests.
While completing these quests passively is an option, it will take time. However, the rewards are certainly worth the effort. For those still working through each Weapon Expertise Quest, here's a look at all the available Expertise Rewards:
