How to Find Kinetic Blades and How To Knock Back Enemies
The latest Fortnite season has certainly stirred the pot, showcasing a neo-Tokyo concept and all-new locations throughout the map. Yet, the most thrilling aspect of this season is the debut of the Kinetic Blade, a fresh melee weapon inspired by the katana.
The Kinetic Blade operates similarly to the previous season's Shockwave Hammer, but it's faster to use and demands greater precision. Additionally, players must accomplish specific tasks, such as "Push back opponents using the Kinetic Blade."
In this guide, we'll reveal where to locate a Kinetic Blade in Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 2, as well as how to repel adversaries.
Locating a Kinetic Blade in Fortnite
The simplest place to find a Kinetic Blade in Fortnite is at Kenjutsu Crossing. With a total of nine Kinetic Blades housed within the primary structure at this fresh Point of Interest (POI), players should have no trouble obtaining one.
Alternatively, you can purchase a Kinetic Blade from Mizuki, an NPC situated inside the eastern watchtower to the right of The Citadel at the map's northwestern edge.
Moreover, Kinetic Blades appear throughout the advanced biome in the map's southwest corner. Thus, if you're in that vicinity, you should be able to find one without depleting your valuable Gold Bars.
How to Knock Back Enemies In Fortnite using the Kinetic Blade
The Kinetic Blade has two primary functions; the initial function is a standard attack, which can be executed using the aim button (L2 on PS5). Successfully landing three consecutive hits will push your opponent back.
The alternative function is a charged attack activated with the shoot button (R2 on PS5). Holding it for a few moments will cause you to leap forward in a straight trajectory before delivering a potent katana swipe.
This charged attack can be used three times before requiring a recharge period. Additionally, this charged attack can be employed to quickly traverse distances, making it ideal for speedy escapes or evading the storm.
As an incredibly distinctive weapon, the Kinetic Blade demands that players engage closely with adversaries. Therefore, it's wise to experiment with it in a secluded area and become familiar with its mechanics before diving into combat.
