Fortnite’s new Kinetic Blade is a new Epic (purple) katana-like weapon. You’ll find them anywhere you can find weapons — chests, vaults, or just laying around on the ground — or you might find a Kinetic Blade on one of the new stands like in the image above.

Our recommendation is there is (usually) a pair of Kinetic Blades to the northwest of Mega City.

The Kinetic Blade has two attacks — a dash attack with L2/right-click and a knock back attack with R2/left-click. The dash attack launches you at (and through) your target — and you cover a surprising distance in the process. The knock back attack is a little more… personal.

To complete the Master the blade season quest, you just have to land knock back attacks on three opponents — or three knock back attacks on a single, unlucky opponent.

Remember, you don’t need to do this in a single match — as long as you get three knock back attacks at some point, the challenge will complete.
