This guide details Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 1's Weapon Expertise Quests, a new feature rewarding players with XP and access to Legendary weapons. These quests, tied to specific NPCs, offer five-stage challenges. Completion unlocks powerful weapons for purchase.
Understanding Weapon Expertise Quests:
Weapon Expertise Quests are initiated by speaking with Hope, Ruji, or Agent Jones. Each questline involves five challenges, culminating in the ability to buy a Legendary weapon from these NPCs. Additional quests unlock Oni Masks from Daigo and the Typhoon Blade from Kendo. Progress is tracked in the Quests tab. While these quests can be completed organically, the rewards justify the effort.
