Fortnite: Discover the Secrets of Unlocking the Kinetic Blade

Fortnite Kinetic Blade Guide: Location and Usage

The Kinetic Blade, a fan-favorite melee weapon from Chapter 4 Season 2, returns to Fortnite Battle Royale in Chapter 6 Season 1 (Fortnite Hunters). This guide details how to find and effectively use the Kinetic Blade, helping you decide if it's a worthwhile addition to your loadout alongside the new Typhoon Blade.

Finding the Kinetic Blade

The Kinetic Blade appears as floor loot in both Battle Royale Build and Zero Build modes. It can also be found inside standard and Rare chests. However, its current drop rate is relatively low, and the absence of dedicated Kinetic Blade spawns (unlike the Typhoon Blade) further reduces its availability.

Using the Kinetic Blade

The Kinetic Blade is a powerful melee weapon offering unique mobility and attack options:

• Dash Attack: Unlike the Typhoon Blade's sprint mechanic, the Kinetic Blade utilizes a Dash Attack. This lunge deals 60 damage on a direct hit and can be chained up to three times before requiring a recharge.

• Knockback Slash: This attack inflicts 35 damage and knocks back opponents. A successful Knockback Slash can send enemies tumbling, potentially resulting in fall damage and elimination.

Mastering both attacks is key to maximizing the Kinetic Blade's potential in combat. Choose your attack wisely depending on the situation and opponent positioning.
