Where to find a Falcon Scout
The Falcon Scout can be found in regular chests, supply drops, on the ground, and in oathbound chests. Oathbound chests are the best way to go. They usually spawn at named locations. The Citadel, Broken Slabs, and Faulty Divisions are particularly good places to restore to check Oathbound Chests.
Here’s a map from meetlootllama on Reddit showing where all Oathbound chests can potentially spawn in Fortnite:
Open these large white chests for a chance to get the Falcon Scout. Another way to get one is to get it from another player.
How to scan enemies with a Falcon Scout and collect their schematics in Fortnite
Once you have equipped the Falcon Scout, press the fire button to deploy it. From there, you are essentially controlling a drone. You cannot move your character during this operation, so be sure to take cover before deploying the scout.
Scanning enemies by pressing the fire button while the drone is out will trigger the scan function. Do this when an enemy is around and you’ll tag them. If the correct quest is active, the enemy will drop a blueprint. You’ll need to head out and pick it up with your character as the Falcon Scout can’t interact with it. You will get 20,000 XP upon completion and progress towards your Oathbound quests.
