Fortnite: How to Hit Opponents While Wolfscent is Active in Fortnitemares 2022

Fortnitemares has begun in Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 4! This Halloween event brings zombies to jump-scare you, a new big boss to fight, spookified locations, and amazing new weapon and features to use. During this 2-week event, players also have exciting quests to complete for Fortnitemares Bonus Goals. One of these quests is to use the new Howler Claws and Wolfscent ability during a match. Find out the best way to achieve this in our guide ‘Fortnite: how to hit opponents while Wolfscent is active in Fortnitemares 2022.

Using Wolfscent in Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 4

Wolfscent is one of the abilities players obtain when they equip the Howler Claws. These claws can be found either by eliminating a player who has them, or by performing a ritual at any of the Alteration Altars around the map.

Once the Howlers claws are equipped, Wolfscent is active. This ability is active for 20s and then has a 20s cooldown before it can be activated again. When players activate the Wolfscent, the character howls and sends out a pulse of wolfy-energy. This makes the heartbeat of any player in the vicinity show up as a purple orb.

To complete the challenge, players must hit the opponent affected by Wolfscent with the basic Howler Claw slash attack. It cannot be an air slash, or a hit from a pickaxe or other weapon. When another weapon is equipped, the Wolfscent ability goes away.

The Howler Claws can be used to slash at opponents, at structures, and to perform a dash-slash attack (Air Slash). The Air Slash can be performed only while the player is sprinting by using a double jump action. It is a great way of moving into an enemy’s vicinity, but can also be used to get out of the Storm danger area quickly.
