Hope is trying to form an alliance with The Elites in Fortnite, but she can’t do it on your own, which is where you come in. One of the key missions you need to tackle in this quest series is to talk to Hope about recruiting The Elites.
Chatting with characters is generally fairly easy as long as you’re up to date with the latest missions, but tracking them down around the vast island is a trickier task. Hope is one of the more difficult NPCs to find, so if you’re having trouble working through this quest, here’s how to talk to Hope about recruiting The Elites in Fortnite.
Hope location in Fortnite
Hope can be found at Classified Canyon near the southeast corner of the island. She hangs out in a small building situated near the upper left corner of this area. There are quite a few different buildings to explore at this main POI, and four different NPCs wandering around it, so to pinpoint where she is, look for the one that has a giant helipad on top. This building is slightly northwest of the massive triangular one right in the center of the area.
Hope’s exact location is also marked with a chat box icon on your mini map once you’re in the right area. While some NPCs wander around their spawn area quite a bit, she doesn’t, so you can always find her somewhere inside this small building area. Hope also isn’t an NPC that can be hired by other players and is instead just a quest figure, so you never have to worry about her taking off.
Talk to Hope about recruiting The Elites in Fortnite
To complete the talk to Hope about recruiting The Elites quest, you need to meet up with and chat with Hope after completing at least six of her quests. Once you’re ready to talk to her for this mission, approach her at Classified Canyon, interact with her, and select “The Elites” dialogue option.
If you’re not caught up with all key quests, she may have quite a few different chat options available, so make sure you choose the right one at this point. Selecting any of the other available dialogue options won’t get you through this quest, so precision is crucial here.
You get a whopping 12,000 XP for simply talking to Hope in this mission, so it’s certainly one that’s worth checking off before the season ends. It’s also decently important for the main storyline, so be sure to tackle this one when you get a chance.
After completing this quest, there’s still plenty of work to get done around the island. If you’re unsure what to work through next, consider hunting down signs of The Seven, checking in with The Order or The Visitor about the base, registering for Save the World, and using Treasure Cannons to collect items for the base.
