Scooby-Doo might not have been the bravest of companions on the screen, but he can be your ‘best mate’ on the island in Fortnite.
Added as part of the Fortnitemares event, you can find and recruit the Great Dane to fight by your side. He even wears a Halloween-themed costume to match the vibes, and he can be invaluable as well. This guide will help you recruit Scooby without having to bribe him at all with Scooby Snacks.
Scooby-Doo location in Fortnite
Scooby is located in the Viney Shafts region, and in the northern part, to be precise. You can also reach the location from Bugswatter Beach. Alternatively, just drop in the location marked by Shaggy on the map, as Scooby will be in the same place.

When you reach the location, you’ll find a supermarket. Head inside, and Scooby and Shaggy will be waiting for you. You can chat with Shaggy to solve his quest, which rewards you with 10,000 seasonal XP. Alternatively, you can just interact with Scooby to hire him as your companion. To do so, you’ll need to have a fair amount of Gold with you.
How to recruit Scooby Doo in Fortnite
You can recruit Scooby-Doo by spending 600 Gold, which is the usual amount for hiring NPCs. You can also choose to heal yourself from him if you’re not at full health. Scooby can do a fair amount of damage when fighting by your side, which is excellent if you find yourself alone on the map.
Do note that his location can be spawned by enemies, since there’s also a stalkbox that spawns close to it. Hence, you can expect a fair number of enemies to be at the location, and it’s better to suit up accordingly.
