Scorpion, from the fighting game series Mortal Kombat, has entered Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 2 as a boss.
Depending on where Scorpion spawns, he can be extremely difficult to fight as you’ll need to deal with the terrain and other incoming players. However, once you learn how to deal with his moves and the terrain, Scorpion becomes much easier to deal with.
Here’s where to find Scorpion and how to beat him in Fortnite.
Where to find Scorpion in Fortnite
Scorpion can spawn at one of three Mortal Kombat locations at the start of the match in Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 2. To find out where you can find Scorpion, open your map to find an icon of Scorpion’s face, which will mark where Scorpion will spawn.
When you arrive at the location, interact with the Mortal Kombat-inscribed gong to spawn Scorpion.
How to beat Scorpion in Fortnite
Scorpion is a fairly difficult boss to beat, but not due to his own abilities. The locations that Scorpion can spawn in — particularly The Pit — can be quite deadly. Since Scorpion is a new boss, players are flocking to his spawn location to test their might.
Before facing Scorpion (and other challengers), we recommend that you gather some weapons, ammo, and shields, and learn about some of Scorpion’s most troublesome moves:
- Scorpion brought his iconic spear to Fortnite, and will pull you in closer to him. If you get hit, make sure to immediately back away and keep your distance.
- Scorpion will leap into the area and disappear before slamming onto the ground. Once he leaps into the air, make sure to keep moving to avoid the slam as it will knock you back. This attack is especially dangerous on The Pit as you’ll fall to your death.
If you’re fighting on The Pit, we recommend that you try to move in a straight line parallel to the bridge. It’s surprisingly easy to fall to your death!
Scorpion’s other attacks aren’t as worrisome as long as you have a full set of shields. Try to keep your distance as much as possible Scorpion likes to punch, kick, and combo your health away. Similar to other Fortnite bosses, spray and pray while aiming at the head to deal more damage until you successfully take down Scorpion.
Once defeated, Scorpion will drop the following rewards:
- First Blood Medallion
- Mythic Scorpion’s Kombat Kit
- Epic Collateral Damage Assault Rifle
- Chug Jug
