There are a couple of new quests in Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 1 that require players to mark enemies - one even asks you to mark 10 in a single match. However, it's not totally clear how players can achieve this. Keep reading to learn how to mark enemies in with ease.

How do you mark enemies?

To mark an enemy, you must use the ping system. The ping system in Fortnite lets you mark items, players, and areas on the map for the rest of your squad to see. If you look at an enemy player while pressing the ping button, it will mark them.

It's possible to change the ping button in the settings menu. However, if you still have the default settings enabled, then you will need to press the middle mouse button while playing on PC. Those playing on Xbox, PlayStation, or Nintendo Switch can press the left d-pad button on the controller to achieve the same result.

A quick way to mark lots of enemies quickly is to use the Falcon Scout item. This gadget is an exceptional tool for reconnaissance, as it lets you soar high above the map and spot enemies from afar.

It's possible to mark enemies while using the Falcon Scout, too. Simply look towards an enemy while using the Falcon Scout and press the ping button. This will mark them on the screen for you and your teammates to see.
