The Falcon Scout is quite useful and an awesome piece of equipment for scouting in Fortnite. This utility item was added to the loot pool in Chapter 4 Season 1 of the game, and offered players a bird’s eye view of the battlefield in real-time.

 

Even though scouting and marking enemies is the Falcon Scout’s primary function, players can also use it in other ways for combat. With the help of some creativity as well as quick thinking, you can use this utility item to its full capacity in nearly any situation that comes up.

Top 5 Ways To Use The Falcon Scout In Fortnite

 

1. Steal Items/Weapons

Players can always use the Falcon Scout to steal items as well as weapons from their enemies in Chapter 4 of Fortnite. However, to do so, players will have to be quick and clever on the field.

 

At the exact time an opponent opens up a chest, the Falcon Scout should be used to dive in and steal the loot from them. Although most of the loot items are quite common, some of them can still turn out to be useful and might change the course of the game for a player.

 

Players can also try to steal items of high value, such as Legendary-tier weapons, Rocket Launchers, as well as Guardian Shields.

 

 

2. Hide The Falcon Scout Inside An Enemy Structure And Spam-Mark The Area

A great thing related to the Falcon Scout is that it can move about like a hummingbird in the game. It has the ability to stay motionless in one spot off the ground.

 

Resultantly, it can easily enter areas or places that would be inaccessible in other situations without the player being forced to break down a wall or two.

 

Once settled inside the structure that is being used as a stronghold by enemies, the Falcon Scout can spam-mark the location to reveal opponents. Team members that possess Deku’s Smash can use this intel to destroy the enemies gathered in the safety of a walled structure.

 

 

3. Distract Enemies And Block Their Field Of View

 

Apart from stealing items and weapons, players can also use the Falcon Scout to cause distractions in Fortnite. You can take complete control of the flying automaton and go straight up to a group of opponents to fly around them.

 

The enemies who have their audio visualization enabled will be distracted by an alert from the nearby Falcon Scout. They will instantly open fire and attempt to shoot the bird out of the sky, which will eventually result in them depleting their ammo.

It will also alert the other players of their location. Furthermore, players can also use the Falcon Scout to fly into an opponent and block their direct field of view. This might result in them missing a very important shot of theirs.

 

 

4. Save Knocked Teammated And Retrieve Reboot Cards

 

While in a match in Fortnite as part of a squad, players tend to get knocked down and eliminated in due course. In case the opponent has not completed the elimination, there is still hope, as a player can use the Falcon Scout to dive in and pick up their fallen squad member.

 

This helps the squad save the time and effort of having to look for a Reboot Van. If the enemy is careful and eliminates the fallen players, the Reboot Card can be picked up by the Falcon Scout and brought back to be collected.

 

The entire process of rebooting might turn out to be rather tedious, but it is better as compared to playing the game with one less squad member.

 

 

5. Open Chests In Hard-To-Reach Places

There are times when reaching some chests can turn out to be a difficult task. If the direct pathway to the chest is blocked or the area is full of enemies, the Falcon Scout can be used to open the chest without much trouble.

 

A very good example of this would be the cave within the Shattered Slabs that has an Oathbound Chest inside it. Instead of entering the cave, players can send in their Falcon Scout to look for the chest and collect the items inside it.

 

This helps the player in saving a ton of time and effort, as well as a considerable amount of footwork.
