How to mark enemies in Fortnite

There are several ways to tag enemies in Fortnite, including:

  • Using the ‘Place Marker’ button (left on d-pad for consoles, middle button on mouse by default on PC)
  • Claim capture points
  • Activate markup increases
  • Using the scout falcon

The Recon Scanner was also able to mark enemies, but as of this writing, it has been skipped.

Anything that pings and places a red marker on an enemy counts as marking an enemy. It depends on the specific challenge whether or not marking characters and animals counts, but if you’re having trouble, we suggest at least trying them out if you’re having difficulty marking other players.

There may also be a slight delay in updating your progress if you are trying to mark enemies for a challenge.

Claiming capture points will briefly mark nearby enemies.

In addition to challenges, marking enemies is incredibly useful if you play in duos, trios, and squads, as it is a great way to show your team where enemies are. It’s also useful if you’re playing alone, as the red marker above the enemy’s head remains for a while, allowing you to plan your attack or devise a route to avoid trouble.

If you want to consistently mark an enemy’s location, you’ll want to use the two best methods…

Simple methods to mark enemies in Fortnite

If you want to scan a large area and mark enemies for yourself and your teammates, there are two easy methods to mark enemies in Fortnite:

  • Using the scout falcon
  • Activate markup increases

Of these two methods, we recommend using the Falcon Scout to easily mark enemies in Fortnite, as you can ping as much as you want, as long as you don’t take the falcon too far. Since animals sometimes count towards completing challenges, it’s very easy to find one and keep marking it with the falcon to speed up the challenge completion time.

Falcon Scouts can be found as loot on the ground, in normal chests, sworn chests, and supply drops.

Once you’ve found a Falcon Scout, equip it and then deploy it by pressing the fire button. You can then press the “Search Enemies” button to start marking nearby enemies. The enemy search button is R2 on PlayStation, RT on Xbox, ZR on Switch, and the left mouse button on PC.

You have to rely on a bit of luck to get an augment to mark enemies for you, but you can re-make an augment selection once for free per match. Any additional repeats will cost 100 gold bars.

There are two Augments that can mark enemies in Fortnite:

With Bloodhound active, enemies hit by your sniper rifle or bow shots are marked for a short period. Storm Mark is the better of the two for marking, however, as when the storm changes, it pings the area to highlight nearby enemies for a short period.

Good luck marking enemies in Fortnite! If you want to learn more about Battle Royale, visit our guides on how to get XP quickly, character locations, and animal locations.
