You drop from the Battle Bus and the map feels thinner than usual—roads empty, a single building humming by itself. I watched a squad ghost past Hope, and that hesitation told me everything: this quest chain forces choices. Stay calm; I’ll walk you through the exact steps so you don’t waste matches chasing the wrong tasks.
I’ve run these missions across Solo, Duos, and Trios, and I’ll tell you what to pick, where to land, and which objectives you can skip until the final push. You play; I keep the checklist. Your goal: finish six of Hope’s tasks and then speak to her about recruiting The Elites.

Hope’s series asks for six completed missions to advance. There are ten missions available, plus a final chat once you reach that six-mission threshold. The six-mission rule is the gate: clear it and Hope’s last request appears.

Think of Hope’s line as a short campaign: ten missions, one final talk. You only need any six to trigger the closing task. That gives you freedom to play aggressively or farm quietly for objectives.
How many missions do I need to complete for Hope’s alliance?
Finish six missions in Hope’s quest series and her final mission appears. You can ignore the rest unless you want extra XP.
| Quest | How to complete |
|---|---|
| Help Hope forge an alliance with The Elites by completing her quests. | Finish six missions in Hope’s quest series. |
| Scout a potential location for an Elites safehouse. | Visit The Basement Landmark location once. This small building can be found south of Clawsy Lodge, west of Painted Palms, east of Wonkeeland, and north of Lethal Labs. |
| Collect food items to demonstrate your survival skills. | Find and pick up three food items. They can be looted from Produce Boxes around the island. |
| Land from the bus at Clawsy Lodge and Bumpy Bay to survey them for shard distortion. | Land at both Clawsy Lodge and Bumpy Bay straight from the battle bus. This quest must be completed over two rounds, as you can only land at one spot per match. |
| Eliminate players before the second Storm closes. | Vanquish three players before the second Storm circle closes in. This mission calls for players, not opponents, so you must take out actual players, not NPCs, to progress this mission. |
| Restore health or gain shields from destroying Slurp barrels. | Gain 100 shields or health by destroying Slurp barrels. |
| Damage opponents with pistols or SMGs. | Deal a total of 750 damage against enemies using pistols and SMGs. Since this mission calls for opponents, damage against both enemy players and hostile NPCs, like Human Bill or Bigfoot, counts. |
| Eliminate a player shortly after emoting. | Perform one emote right after taking out an enemy player. |
| Headshot opponents with assault rifles. | Land 10 headshots against enemies while using an assault rifle. |
| Reach max ammo of any type. | Reach the ammo cap for any type of ammo one time. You can do so by continuing to gather ammo from ammo boxes, chests, and other lootable containers until you cannot pick up any more of one type. |
Where is The Basement Landmark located in Fortnite?
The Basement sits south of Clawsy Lodge, west of Painted Palms, east of Wonkeeland, and north of Lethal Labs. It’s small and easy to miss; drop in and clear quickly so you can loot and leave before fights start.
You can finish several tasks in one match if you plan your route. Smart mission pairing and timing will shave matches off the grind. How I prioritize Hope’s quests (and how you should too)
I sort objectives into quick, risky, and long-haul buckets.
- Quick: Collect three food items from Produce Boxes; reach max ammo of any type. These can often be cleared in a single calm drop.
- Risky: Eliminate players before the second Storm closes; eliminate a player shortly after emoting. These demand fights and timing—coordinate or bait third parties.
- Long-haul: Deal 750 damage with pistols/SMGs; land 10 AR headshots; restore 100 from Slurp barrels. These stack across matches and count against NPCs where noted.
Hope’s quest chain is a lock; the six missions are the key. The island becomes a chessboard where your drop, loot, and fights determine whether you move three spaces or get checkmated.
I recommend pairing Produce Box food, The Basement visit, and reaching max ammo in one quiet game. Then pick a match to play aggressive for eliminations and headshots. Use the quieter rounds to chip away at damage and Slurp barrels.
Epic Games updates can change spawn rates and NPC behavior, so watch patch notes and creators on YouTube or X for the latest tweaks. Streamers often show routes that shave time off these quests.
Once you’ve completed any six missions, hop to Hope and choose the final dialogue option to talk about recruiting The Elites. That completes the series; extra quests simply buy XP and practice.
