A Legendary Addition to the Island
Fortnite continues its streak of exciting crossovers, and this time it is the Power Rangers stepping into the spotlight. The Blade Blaster, a mythic tier weapon inspired by the classic series, has arrived with Chapter 6 Season 4. Blending retro charm with modern mechanics, this twinned mode pistol is effective for both close range duels and clearing out swarms of bugs, making it a must have for players this season.
The Path to Earning the Blade Blaster
The Blade Blaster is not something you can simply stumble upon. To unlock it, you must reach O.X.R. Rank A during a Battle Royale match. This faction ranking system is central to Season 4’s bug infestation theme, and progressing through it requires skill and strategy.
Players can increase their rank through various actions in game. Eliminating other players grants 75 XP, while taking down Queen bugs earns 200 XP. Capturing control points gives 250 XP, destroying Swarmer Nests adds 30 XP, and eliminating Bombers adds 50 XP. Consistently completing these objectives will push you toward the coveted Rank A.
Finding the O.X.R. Bunkers
Once you achieve Rank A, O.X.R. Bunkers will automatically appear on your map as white symbols. These bunkers are key to securing the Blade Blaster. You can find them in four primary locations: north of Shiny Shafts tucked into the mountain, directly south of Utopia City near Rainbow Fields, southwest of Foxy Floodgate by the snowy ridge, and south of First Order Base where the snow line ends.
Inside each bunker, you will discover a golden display case. Interact with it, and the Blade Blaster will be yours instantly, without spending any V Bucks or gold bars. While the weapon can sometimes appear in rare loot chests, the bunker method remains the most reliable way to acquire it.
Why the Blade Blaster Matters
The Blade Blaster is more than just a nod to nostalgia. Its versatility makes it an invaluable tool for both battling enemies and handling the PvE bug challenges that define this season. Players who manage to secure it will find themselves with a powerful edge in matches, blending fan favorite pop culture flair with Fortnite’s fast paced action.
