Rail Gun Recon Week Quests

This week the Rail Gun and the Recon Scanner have been unvaulted to change Fortnite's gameplay a little bit with these quirky weapons. Both of these weapons can be found normally as floor loot or inside treasure chests.

The Rail Gun is a sniper that can shoot through structures so it can be quite powerful and it might be tough to go up against if you don't find yourself the right cover. The Recon Scanner looks like a grenade launcher and it shoots a scanning device that scans and marks players nearby.

  • Deal damage from 50 or more meters with the Rail Gun (500)

The Rail Gun is a long-range weapon so all you have to do to complete this quest is deal a total of 500 damage from 50 or more meters away.

  • Deal damage to opponents with the Rail Gun
  • Deal damage to an opponent within 30 seconds of scanning them (500)

Use the Recon Scanner to scan out any type of opponent in-game, then with whichever weapon you prefer, deal 500 damage to them before 30 seconds go by. The best location to do this is Command Cavern since you can scan IO Guards, there are lots of them around so you shouldn't find it too much of a problem to get to 500 damage.

  • Mark an enemy player using the Recon Scanner
  • Get a headshot with the Rail Gun (1)

You'll have to be precise to get this right, but you'll only have to do it once to finish the quest. Get a headshot with the Rail Gun sniper. You might want to try this on IO Guards or on a knocked player since they will be easier to hit perfectly.
