This Fortnite Hunters guide details Weapon Expertise Quests, a new feature offering XP and access to Legendary weapons. These quests, tied to specific NPCs, involve completing five-stage challenges. Completing a quest unlocks a Legendary weapon from that NPC.
Updated January 14, 2025: This guide includes the recently added Melee Expertise Quests.
Weapon Expertise Quests Explained:
Weapon Expertise Quests are introduced via an initial quest requiring interaction with Hope, Ruji, or Agent Jones. Each subsequent quest features five challenges. Completing them unlocks Legendary weapons (or items like Oni Masks) from various NPCs. Progress can be tracked via the in-game Quests tab. While passively completable, the rewards justify the effort.
