To Reveal Your Enemies, Use the Shadow Tracker or Flare Gun
When you know how to reveal enemy players in Fortnite, you gain an advantage, since you eliminate their ability to hide once you ping them. So you can target them when they think they are safe from view, or you can use their location to plan a route and launch a sneak attack when they least expect it.
The Week 3 Fortnite quest challenges you to reveal enemy players or Characters 10 times, so if you can do it, you will earn another XP. Read on to learn how to reveal enemy players.
How Do You Reveal Enemy Players in Fortnite?
Currently, Fortnite allows you to reveal enemy players in four different ways:
- Shoot them with the Exotic Shadow Tracker Pistol
- Tag them with the Flare Gun
- Activate the Bloodhound augment then shoot them with a rifle or sniper
- Claim a Capture Point when they’re nearby
With the Exotic Shadow Tracker Pistol, you can easily reveal enemies. At the top end of the jungle biome, just north of Shady Stilts, you can obtain Peely, one of Fortnite’s characters. You can buy it for 400 bars from the banana-man there, and then just keep shooting enemies to tag them.
As it has become more common on the floor and in chests, especially in jungles, Fortnite’s Flare Gun can also detect enemies. The flare will explode and highlight anyone nearby when fired in an area with several opponents or characters. Waterfall flares cannot scan the area before they burst. Don’t aim them too low. You can get a Flare Gun and a Shadow Tracker Pistol with the Tracker’s Armory augment.
With the Bloodhound Fortnite augment, you’ll be able to see enemies while shooting an assault rifle or sniper. As you only get a random selection of augments during a match and multiple reroll cost bars, this isn’t a method you can completely rely on. However, if Bloodhound appears, you can complete this quest in another way.
The final way to reveal enemies is to claim a Fortnite Capture Point. The flag will be raised to highlight people and chests in the entire named location. The method requires at least one enemy nearby. Nevertheless, since it also shows characters, you can use it in Breakwater Bay, Brutal Bastion, Frenzy Fields, and Slappy Shores, all of which have NPCs nearby.
