This guide details Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 1's Weapon Expertise Quests, a system rewarding players with XP and access to powerful Legendary weapons.

Weapon Expertise Quests Overview

Weapon Expertise Quests are unique challenges tied to specific NPCs. Initiated by speaking to Hope, Ruji, or Agent Jones, these quests consist of five stages each. Completing them unlocks Legendary weapons from these NPCs, plus Oni Masks from Daigo and the Typhoon Blade from Kendo. Progress is tracked in the Quests tab.
