Fortnite is always changing its loot options, and Chapter 6, Season 4 introduces a new gadget that can shift the game in your favor: the Tracking Visor. This piece of equipment isn’t geared for shooting or exploding but offers unparalleled visibility in areas where you’re typically blind to enemies.
The visor is designed to keep you aware of your surroundings, including blind spots. However, finding one and utilizing it effectively isn’t as straightforward as merely looting a chest. If you aim to outsmart your opponents rather than just outgun them, here’s everything you need to know about acquiring the Tracking Visor and making it an essential part of your strategy this season.
How to Acquire the Tracking Visor
There are a few methods to get your hands on a Tracking Visor during a match.
|
Method |
Description |
|---|---|
|
Floor Loot & Chests |
You might find a Tracking Visor lying on the ground or hidden in a chest, but it’s relatively rare. If you want a steady chance at securing this item, consider other options. |
|
Hero Caches |
These caches could contain the visor, but they’re accessible only after achieving Hero Ranks. You’ll need to reach at least Rank B in the match to open a B-rank Cache. Higher ranks (up to S) increase your chances of getting better loot. Each cache holds a random Hero Item, and the Tracking Visor is part of that selection. |
|
Supernova Academy’s Tech Lab Rooms |
For the highest chances, head over to Supernova Academy. Inside the Tech Lab, you’ll find locked rooms that guarantee both Hero Caches and Academy Stands. |
|
Academy Stands |
These structures are spread across the island in almost every major point of interest and often contain Hero Items, including the Tracking Visor. |
How to Use the Tracking Visor
The Tracking Visor is a non-combat item. Here’s how to make the most of it:
|
Ability |
Description |
|---|---|
|
Sonar Pulse Scan (Active Ability) |
When equipped, pressing the shoot button activates a sonar pulse that scans the area and highlights any nearby enemies. All players detected during the scan are marked for a brief duration. This ability can be used an unlimited number of times but has a 25-second cooldown between uses. |
|
Footprint Tracking (Passive Ability) |
While you have the visor equipped, you will automatically see green footprints on the ground that indicate the paths of nearby enemies. This feature activates just by wearing the visor—no need to be holding it to benefit from the tracking. |
