How do I get a Recon Scanner?

You probably remember the Recon Scanner that appeared in Fortnite with Season 7. Surprise! It is still on the Season 8 map, and a quest from the NPC Wrath requires you to uncover two enemies with a Recon Scanner. We'll show you where to find the scout scanner in Fortnite Season 8.

In the new season of Fortnite, the familiar punch cards have been reintroduced. Each punch card is assigned to a specific NPC who starts a quest line for you. Today, Wrath came to the island, and he also has some quests for you.

To start the quest series, you need to talk to him and start the Escaped Dweller quest series. Wrath is located in Stealthy Stronghold, which is north of Pleasant Park, northeast of Coral Castle, and west of Craggy Cliffs. He will be inside the walls. He will require you to find a Recon Scanner and then use it to uncover two enemies.

Where to Find a Recon Scanner in Fortnite Season 8

The Recon Scanner was an IO weapon that debuted in Chapter 2, Season 7. The IO invented all kinds of weapons to fight the aliens and even the Pulse Rifle is still kicking around if you know where to look! After the battle ended, these weapons were removed from the game. However, some are still available in the game, but only in a few places. The Recon Scanners, like all other IO weapons, cannot be found in normal chests or as ground loot. They can only be acquired in IO chests, which are mainly found in IO bases. You can find these IO chests in the following locations:

• On the roof of the IO house in Corny Crops
• In an IO base to the north of Dirty Docks
• In the southwest of Pleasant Park
• Directly in the middle between Lazy Lake and Corny Crops
• In the southwest and southeast of Misty Meadows
• To the south of Holly Hedges
• In the jungle station in Stealthy Stronghold
• At the domino base
• At the hill station to the northwest of Believer Beach
  

These locations are not a guarantee of a have a Recon Scanner, but they are the only chance for you to find one. Once you find a Recon Scanner, you need to scan two enemies with it to complete the first part of the Escaped Dweller challenges. Pretty easy, right?

Recon Scanners will be required to complete one Character Quest in Fortnite Season 8, but they can also be useful during a typical match. One of the biggest changes to come to Season 8 of Fortnite are the new Character Quests, during which players will be tasked with finding an NPC and helping them complete various activities. The newest NPC to join the game is Wrath, and he has a Punch Card of five challenges for players to complete in exchange for increasing amounts of XP toward leveling up the Battle Pass. One of these challenges requires players to spot two enemy players using the Recon Scanner.

The Recon Scanner is a weapon that allows players to shoot a probe to scan the area in front of them for loot and enemies. This weapon made its debut in season 7 and was used as a tool to stop the alien invaders. Recon Scanners were so good last season that Epic Games had to step in and add more time to its cooldown to nerf it. During Fortnite Season 8, there is only one way to get a Recon Scanner.

Before they can find and use a Recon Scanner for this challenge, players will need to find Wrath. He is located in the northern region of the map where Stealthy Stronghold used to be. Once players find Wrath and unlock his Punch Card, they can begin the hunt for the Recon Scanners.

Where To Find Recon Scanners in Fortnite Season 8

Recon Scanners can only be found inside IO Chests during Season 8. These are chests that are exclusive to IO bases, meaning that players looking to find a Recon Scanner will need to first get through an IO base. These areas are incredibly dangerous since the IO Guards will attack the player the moment they notice them. There is also no guarantee that the IO Chest will have a Recon Scanner inside. It's up to luck whether one appears in each match.

After collecting the Recon Scanner, players can just point it at some nearby opponents to complete this challenge. Players will be rewarded with 12,000 XP for their Battle Pass. This will also unlock the next stage of Wrath's questline, which has players using a jump pad or jump vent to travel 100 meters before landing. As more NPCs are added to the game, more Character Quests will likely follow. As these quests are some of the best ways to earn XP during Season 8, players should strive to complete as many as possible and work toward unlocking the Carnage Skin at Tier 100.
