The popular Kinetic Blade, a Chapter 4 Season 2 favorite, returns to Fortnite Battle Royale in Chapter 6 Season 1 (Fortnite Hunters)! This isn't the only katana available; players can choose between the Kinetic Blade and the new Typhoon Blade.

This guide covers finding and using the Kinetic Blade, helping you decide if it's a worthy replacement for the Typhoon Blade.

Kinetic Blade Location in Fortnite

The Kinetic Blade appears in both Battle Royale Build and Zero Build modes. Search for it as floor loot or within standard and Rare chests.

Currently, the Kinetic Blade's drop rate seems relatively low. The absence of dedicated Kinetic Blade stands (unlike the Typhoon Blade) further complicates its discovery.

Mastering the Kinetic Blade in Fortnite

The Kinetic Blade is a melee weapon enabling swift movement and surprise attacks.

Unlike the Typhoon Blade's sprint mechanic, the Kinetic Blade uses a Dash Attack for rapid forward lunges, dealing 60 damage on impact. This attack can be chained up to three times before requiring a recharge.

Players can also utilize the Knockback Slash, inflicting 35 damage and knocking back opponents. A well-timed Knockback Slash can send enemies tumbling, potentially resulting in fall damage and elimination.
