How to scout a potential location for an Elites safehouse in Fortnite Chapter 7, season 1

Hope's got quite a few missions for you to get done in her weekly quest series in Fortnite. One of the tougher ones she throws at you early on is to scout a potential location for an Elites safehouse. Since she doesn't tell you where to look, figuring out the right spot to search for this quest is a tough task to work through on your own. Luckily, it's pretty easy to check off once you know where to go, so here's how to scout a potential location for an Elites safehouse in Fortnite.Table of contentsPotential location for an Elites safehouse in FortniteScout a potential location for an Elites safehouse in FortnitePotential location for an Elites safehouse in Fortnite Screenshot and remix by Destructoid The potential location for an Elites safehouse is a small Landmark spot called The Basement, which can be found directly south of Clawsy Lodge, west of Painted Palms, east of Wonkeeland, and north of Lethal Labs. It's not marked by name on the map since it's a Landmark rather than a main POI, so finding and traveling to this specific spot is a rather difficult task. To find this location, load into a round, open your map, and zoom in on the forest area right beneath Clawsy Lodge. Look for the small grey and white building in this area, then drop a marker there so you can head right to it. You'll know you found the right location if you spot a building with a blue and orange workshop sign. When you enter this area, you'll also see the name of the Landmark displayed in the upper right corner next to your mini map. Scout a potential location for an Elites safehouse in Fortnite To complete the scout a potential location for an Elites safehouse quest in Hope's quest series, you simply need to visit The Basement Landmark location once. As soon as you enter the boundaries of this building, the quest will be marked as complete, allowing you to claim 12,000 XP. Most missions require you to complete a few specific tasks at a designated spot to get them done, but that's not the case here. Instead, all you need to do is land at or make your way to The Basement and get close enough for the game to register that you've visited it to move on.

These types of quests can sometimes be a bit finnicky though, so if you're having trouble getting it to work, try venturing fully inside the building. If that still doesn't count, exit the Landmark and reenter it to get it to trigger. There are plenty of other tricky missions you need to work through around the island before this season ends. If you're looking for more to tackle, some good ones to complete next are using Treasure Cannons to collect items for the base, completing Job Boards, making contact with Dark Voyager’s ship while airborne, and entering Dumpsters or Flushers in different matches.
