The popular Kinetic Blade, previously featured in Chapter 4 Season 2, returns to Fortnite Battle Royale in Chapter 6 Season 1, also known as 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 in both Battle Royale Build and Zero Build modes. It's found as floor loot or within standard and Rare chests.
Currently, the Kinetic Blade's drop rate appears relatively low. Furthermore, the absence of dedicated Kinetic Blade stands (only Typhoon Blade stands exist) makes it more challenging to acquire.
The Kinetic Blade is a melee weapon enabling swift movement and surprise attacks.
Unlike the Typhoon Blade, which requires sprinting for increased speed, the Kinetic Blade utilizes a Dash Attack for a forward lunge. This attack inflicts 60 damage upon impact and can be chained up to three times before needing a recharge.
Alternatively, the Knockback Slash deals 35 damage and knocks back opponents. This can result in additional fall damage, potentially leading to an elimination.
