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. Completion unlocks Legendary weapons from Hope, Ruji, Vengeance Jones, Daigo (Oni Masks), or Kendo (Typhoon Blade). Progress can be tracked via the in-game Quests tab.
While these quests can be completed passively, the rewards justify the effort. Here's a summary of available Legendary weapons and how to obtain them:
