It is an incredibly busy week in Fortnite Chapter 2 Season 7 as later this week we get to see the Ariana Grande concert and Season 7 live event on Friday, with Guile and Cammy from Street Fighter coming to the game on Saturday.

But for now, let’s check out the new week 9 challenges.

Here is how to complete Reveal an opponent with a Recon Scanner, then hit them with a Railgun.

Recon Scanners are really good weapons in Season 7 as they tag the location of nearby enemies, this can be incredibly useful in fights.

To complete this, players need to use the Recon Scanner and before the tag disappears hit them with the Railgun.

Both items are easy to find at any of the Satellite Stations, although they can sometimes be found elsewhere.

If you struggle to use the Railgun, the challenge can also be completed using IO Guards, which are much easier to hit due to them largely standing still.
