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 complicates its acquisition.

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 increased speed, the Kinetic Blade utilizes a Dash Attack for a powerful lunge, inflicting 60 damage on impact. This dash can be used up to three times before needing a recharge.

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