Weapon Expertise Quests Explained
Weapon Expertise Quests are a thrilling new element in Fortnite Hunters, linked directly to specific NPCs scattered across the map. The journey begins with the initial quest, prompting players to speak with Hope, Ruji, or Agent Jones to learn about weapon expertise and sales. These quests are structured into five stages, each presenting unique challenges. Completing them unlocks Legendary weapons sold by Hope, Ruji, or Vengeance Jones, as well as other coveted items like the Void and Fire Oni Masks from Daigo and the Typhoon Blade from Kendo. You can track your progress on these quests from the main lobby or in-game via the Quests Tab under Expertise Quests.
Weapon Expertise Quests can be tackled passively, though they will require patience to complete. The rewards, however, are well worth the effort. For those still navigating through these quests, here's a breakdown of the Expertise Rewards available for purchase:
