What is the Wolfscent Ability?
The Wolfscent Ability in Fortnite grants you tracking vision. Nearby enemies will glow pink, even behind walls and other objects. This will let you know the precise location of your prey. If no enemies are close enough, the Ability will enter into cooldown right away.
Opponents will hear a heartbeat sound as you near with the Ability active that becomes louder the closer you get. This should help keep everyone on their toes.
Why should I get the Wolfscent Ability in Fortnite?
Not only will the Wolfscent Ability give you tracking vision, which is cool enough as is, but it is also required to complete a Fortnitemares quest. The "hit an opponent while Wolfscent is active" quest is an easy challenge to complete and you should always complete quests, right?
To complete the quest, you need to follow the steps listed above to equip the Howler Claws, howl to activate the Wolfscent Ability, and attack an enemy while the tracking vision is active.
Now you know all there is to know about the Fortnite Wolfscent Ability, it’s time to get out there and slash at some opponents. Claws vs guns sounds like an interesting battle.
