Fortnite , like other shooters , have quite intuitive controls that, to this day, do not provide us with a complete view of the battlefield . So if there is something that gamers dream of, it is to have the possibility of detecting and marking any adversary that appears on the map, to always have them located, controlled and, at the moment that we can, in the center of our crosshairs.
A little-exploited Fortnite feature
In Fortnite you have to always be aware of everything that happens around you since you never know where a shower of sticks and bullets can rain down on you. That, when we play as a team, happens less because they tend to give you a hand when it comes to alerting you to potential waves of enemies.
The fact is that in this battle royale from Epic Games there are several commands that will allow us to make working as a team with your friends much easier. We will be able to share resources such as weapons, medicines or tools, rescue them from certain death, cover each other when our rivals have us surrounded… or what concerns us here today, which is nothing more than marking enemies and places of interest to locate potential threats.
However, not many people know about this function, so we are going to explain the easiest way to achieve it. Without further ado, let’s get started.
Analog or digital, you choose
Before beginning, we anticipate that there are two methods: one easier than the other, so we are going to start with the first, which is the analog enemy brand. If you play on a computer, for example, with a simple touch on the middle mouse button you will mark objects or places, while if you do it on a console, you will have to press right on the crosshead.
Now, if what we want to mark are enemies, we must go one step further. If you play on console, to point out the place where an adversary is you will have to press the up button on the crosshead , which will cause the location to be marked with a red signal on the minimap.
Now, we have great news for you and it’s called Falcon Scout. This second way of marking has recently been added to the game with Chapter 4. This requires you to get hold of a special item. With this accessory that resembles a bird-shaped drone, you can make it fly around the map and mark the location of enemies as many times as you want, since it doesn’t have a maximum number of uses. And, as if that were not enough, when using it, the exact location will be marked both for you and for all your colleagues.
You can find the Falcon Scout throughout the map either hidden inside trunks, in shipments of merchandise or simply lying on the ground, although the best way to find them will be to look in the oath chests that you find. And you? Did you know this way to mark enemies in Fortnite ?
