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 a quest unlocks a Legendary weapon for purchase from that NPC.
Updated January 14, 2025, this guide includes the newly added Melee Expertise Quests.
Weapon Expertise Quests Explained:
Weapon Expertise Quests are initiated by speaking to Hope, Ruji, or Agent Jones about weapon sales and expertise. Each questline contains five challenges. Beyond the initial weapons, completing subsequent quests unlocks Oni Masks from Daigo and the Typhoon Blade from Kendo. Progress is tracked via the in-game Quests tab. While these quests can be completed passively, the rewards justify the effort.
