The Kinetic Blade, a fan favorite from 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 covers locating and using the Kinetic Blade, helping you decide if it's a superior choice to the Typhoon Blade.

How to Find the Kinetic Blade in Fortnite

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. The absence of dedicated Kinetic Blade stands (unlike the Typhoon Blade) further reduces its discoverability.

How to Use the Kinetic Blade in Fortnite

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

Unlike the Typhoon Blade, which requires sprinting for speed boosts, the Kinetic Blade utilizes a Dash Attack for a forward lunge. This attack inflicts 60 damage on impact and can be used up to three times before requiring a recharge.

Alternatively, the Knockback Slash deals 35 damage and knocks back opponents. This can lead to fall damage and potential eliminations if the opponent is sent off a high point.
