The wind howled around Polar Peak, a blizzard threatening to bury the fortress. I remember the thrill of landing there, the scramble for loot, the desperate hope of finding something – anything – to survive. Then I saw it: the unmistakable glint of steel, promising power… and a target on my back. Fortnite OG’s throwback to Chapter 1 isn’t just nostalgia; it’s a brutal reminder of how quickly things can change.
Fortnite OG has been giving players a taste of the good old days, allowing them to revisit the Chapter 1 map. With OG Season 7 in full swing, bringing a winter feel to the classic island, Epic Games has re-introduced the infamous Infinity Blade.
If you want to wield this powerful weapon, here’s what you need to know about the Infinity Blade in Fortnite OG Season 7.
Fortnite OG Infinity Blade Location in Season 7
Think of the Infinity Blade as a ticking time bomb, everyone scrambling for a chance to hold it, knowing it won’t last.
The Infinity Blade is located at the Polar Peak POI, previously the home of the Ice King. It was also the site of the Ice Storm live event in Chapter 1 Season 7. Only one Infinity Blade spawns per OG lobby, buried in the center of Polar Peak. To claim it, simply interact with it to pull it from the ground. But remember Chapter 1 Season 7: contesting the Blade will be fierce. Approach with caution.
Once you have the Infinity Blade, knowing how to wield it is critical. Picking up the Blade grants you an immediate boost to both HP and Shields, raising them from 100 to 200.
How to Use the Infinity Blade in Fortnite OG
I’ve seen players clutch entire matches with the Infinity Blade, turning the tide in seconds. But raw power isn’t enough. You need finesse.
The Infinity Blade has two attacks. The primary attack, activated with the left mouse button on PC or R2/RT on controllers, swings the Blade to damage enemies. The secondary attack, triggered by the right mouse button on PC or L2/LT on controllers, lets you leap forward, landing on foes and destroying structures in your path.
Damage Stats
- Primary Attack: 75 damage per hit
- Secondary Attack: 25 damage per hit
Used skillfully, the Infinity Blade is extremely powerful. Its Siphon ability grants 50 health or shield upon each elimination. It also provides 1 health or shield per second and increases your movement speed by 30%.
Is the Infinity Blade a Mythic weapon?
Yes, the Infinity Blade is classified as a Mythic weapon in Fortnite. These weapons are exceptionally rare and powerful, usually only appearing once per match. This status reflects its unique abilities and the significant advantage it offers to whoever wields it.
However, the weapon has drawbacks. Wielding the Infinity Blade prevents you from carrying other items, like weapons or Minis. Also, you can’t build, forcing you to rely on direct combat.
What are the best strategies for countering the Infinity Blade?
Distance is your friend. Since the Blade-wielder can’t build, use ranged weapons to whittle them down. Focus fire with your squad, and exploit their inability to carry healing items. Traps can also be surprisingly effective.
What is the equivalent cost of the Infinity Blade?
Considering the power and advantages it grants, if the Infinity Blade were purchasable, its value would be close to $20 (€18.50) in today’s market.
Will you be landing at Polar Peak, risking it all for the Infinity Blade? Or will you let someone else become the target?
