The popular Kinetic Blade, previously featured in Chapter 4 Season 2, 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 explains how to locate and utilize the Kinetic Blade, helping you decide if it's a superior choice to the Typhoon Blade.
The Kinetic Blade appears as floor loot or within standard and Rare chests in both Battle Royale Build and Zero Build modes.
Currently, its spawn rate seems relatively low. The absence of dedicated Kinetic Blade stands (unlike the Typhoon Blade) further reduces its discoverability.
The Kinetic Blade is a melee weapon enabling swift movement and surprise attacks.
Unlike the Typhoon Blade's sprint mechanic, the Kinetic Blade utilizes a Dash Attack for rapid forward movement. A successful Dash Attack inflicts 60 damage. It can be used up to three times before requiring a recharge.
Alternatively, the Knockback Slash deals 35 damage and knocks back opponents. This can result in fall damage and potential eliminations if the opponent is sent off a high point.
