Thankfully, the Spider-Man Web-Shooters are back in Fortnite once again, giving gamers another mobility option besides Rogue Bikes, the Nitro Drifter, and the ODM Gear. Players could take advantage of the exploit in any game mode, so it was strange that Epic decided not to remove the blade from the other game modes right away.Īccording to the official Fortnite Status account, the Kinetic Blade will remain vaulted until the end of Chapter 4 Season 2. Gamers who fell victim to this exploit started reporting those that abused it, causing Epic Games to take action by banning players and removing the Kinetic Blade from Fortnite's tournaments. It may seem like a lot of work, but it gave players a way to take down enemies from any range without risk. Although it's not been confirmed, it is very likely that this is related to an exploit the Fortnite community discovered recently, which allowed gamers to easily eliminate an opponent with the Kinetic Blade by turning off their Wi-Fi, attacking their enemy, and then turning Wi-Fi back on. The Kinetic Blade has now been removed from all Fortnite battle royale game modes.

This katana was powered by Kinetic Ore, and gamers could use its stored energy to dash and quickly travel through the map and knock back enemies to deal considerable damage to them. Epic Games modified half the map to fit MEGA season's theme, and consequently, many of the new Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 2 POIs gave off a Japanese-inspired cyberpunk, futuristic vibe that most players enjoyed.Īn item that also encapsulated this same feeling was the Kinetic Blade, which could be used as a mobility item as well as a melee weapon. When this Fortnite season first went live, most players were impressed with how different the battle royale map felt. Fortnite's katana, the Kinetic Blade, is no longer available in-game, and players will not be using it again in Chapter 4 Season 2.
