Fortnite Scorpion is a brand-new boss introduced on the island as part of the Mortal Kombat crossover in the battle royale. Players are eager to find him for several reasons. Defeating Scorpion rewards you with the Fortnite First Blood Medallion, which makes the first shot from your weapon’s magazine explosive, dealing additional damage. Additionally, taking him down is essential for completing various Mortal Kombat-themed quests in Fortnite to earn valuable XP. Below is everything you need to know about Scorpion in Fortnite and how to obtain the First Blood Medallion.
Where to Find Scorpion in Fortnite
To locate Scorpion in Fortnite, head to one of the three designated Mortal Kombat areas shown on the map above. Keep in mind that Scorpion will only appear at one of these spots during each match, so pay attention to your map for his icon as you deploy from the battle bus. The Mortal Kombat locations where Scorpion can be found include:
- The Living Forest – situated between Whiffy Wharf and Lonewolf Lair
- The Pit – located along a narrow bridge to the east of Shining Span
- The Dead Pool – beneath the bank at Masked Meadow, accessible via an ascender outside leading to some pipes
Once you reach the location highlighted by the Scorpion icon on your map, look for and interact with the glowing gong to start the boss battle. Scorpion will appear as soon as you ring the gong, so make sure you’re well-equipped with weapons and healing items beforehand.
How to Obtain the First Blood Medallion in Fortnite by Defeating Scorpion
To earn the First Blood Medallion, you must defeat Scorpion during the battle and then collect the medallion he drops. Scorpion is a formidable foe, launching powerful fireballs and using a spear to pull players in for a flurry of punches and kicks, which can be lethal, especially if it knocks you off the platform into a pit or acid. It’s advisable to engage Scorpion from a distance, landing headshots as you maneuver and stay alert to dodge his fireballs and spear when you notice them being charged up.
