How to complete Rail Gun Recon Quests in Fortnite

In order to complete these quests, you’ll need to find both a Railgun and a Recon Scanner. You can find these weapons as floor loot or in Chests, but they’re a high rarity so it might take a while to get them.

Dealing damage with the Railgun is as simple as shooting your opponents, but the Recon Scanner works a little differently – if you shoot it at the ground, nearby enemies will be marked with a red diamond.

This is known as ‘scanning’ your opponents, which is key to completing the ‘Mark enemy players using the Recon Scanner’ and ‘Deal damage to an opponent within 30 seconds of scanning them’ quests.

Finally, if you’re looking to get a headshot with the Railgun, be aware that this weapon takes a while to charge up, so this one might be tricky. Use stealth to target stationary players for the best chance.
