Fortnite Hunters plunges players into a thrilling new chapter brimming with Japanese mythology-inspired locales, formidable demon bosses, and potent weapons. While the ability to teleport across the map using Void Oni Masks adds a new dimension to gameplay, acquiring high-tier weapons is now easier than ever thanks to Weapon Expertise Quests. These quests offer substantial XP rewards for each completed stage, and completing them unlocks access to legendary weapons sold by various NPCs scattered across the map. Let's delve into the details.
Updated January 14, 2025, by Nathan Round: The dynamic world of Fortnite Hunters continues to evolve with each update, introducing fresh Expertise Quests. This guide has been updated to incorporate the newly added Melee Expertise Quests, enabling players to acquire the formidable Typhoon Blade from Kendo upon completion.
Weapon Expertise Quests Explained
Weapon Expertise Quests are a unique Fortnite Hunters feature linked to specific map NPCs. The introductory quest guides you to speak with Hope, Ruji, or Agent Jones about expertise and weapon acquisition. Each quest comprises five stages, culminating in the unlock of a legendary weapon from Hope, Ruji, or Vengeance Jones. Recent additions include quests to obtain Oni Masks from Daigo—providing swift access to Void and Fire Oni Masks—and the Typhoon Blade from Kendo. Track your progress in the main lobby or in-game via the Quests tab.
While these quests can be completed passively, the rewards justify the effort. Below are the available legendary weapons and how to obtain them:
