Fortnite: How to Complete Weapon Expertise Quests

by Amelia Feb 26,2025

This Fortnite Hunters guide details Weapon Expertise Quests, a new feature rewarding players with XP and access to Legendary weapons. These quests, tied to specific NPCs, involve completing five-stage challenges. Completing them unlocks powerful weapons for purchase. This guide has been updated to include the recently added Melee Expertise Quests.

Weapon Expertise Quests Explained

Weapon Expertise Quests are unique to Fortnite Hunters, introduced via an initial quest requiring interaction with Hope, Ruji, or Agent Jones. Each quest features five challenges, culminating in the unlock of a Legendary weapon from a specific NPC. Beyond the initial weapons, quests for Oni Masks (from Daigo) and the Typhoon Blade (from Kendo) have also been added. Track your progress via the in-game Quests tab.
