Weapon Expertise Quests Explained
Weapon Expertise Quests are a fresh addition to Fortnite Hunters, intricately linked with specific NPCs on the map. Players kick off their journey with these quests by chatting with Hope, Ruji, or Agent Jones, who introduce the concept of Expertise and weapon sales. Each quest series comprises five stages of challenges. Completing these stages grants players access to one of three Legendary weapons sold by Hope, Ruji, or Vengeance Jones. New quests have also been introduced, allowing players to buy the Void and Fire Oni Masks from Daigo and the Typhoon Blade from Kendo. You can track these quests in the main lobby or in-game by navigating to the Quests Tab and selecting Expertise Quests.

While you can complete Weapon Expertise Quests passively, they'll take time to finish. However, the rewards are well worth the effort. Here's a rundown of the Expertise Rewards you can unlock:
