DuringFortnite’sChapter 6, Season 2’s Found quests, your first objective states, “The Baron is reportedly hoarding gold in his office,” with no further instructions. Although your quest marker points to Valentina, an NPC in Outlaw Oasis, you may encounter a bug preventing you from progressing.
You’ll know you’re encountering the bug when you first speak to Valentina. Rather than advancing the quest, she’ll compare bank vault heists and other crimes to dancing. Here’s how to fixFortnite’sChapter 6, Season 2’s Found quest bugs so you can investigate the Baron’s gold hoarding.
How to fix Fortnite Chapter 6, Season 2 Found quest bugs
Normally, you’d complete this Found quest by heading to Outlaw Oasis, speaking to Valentina, and hearing her brief about the current mission. She’ll then run off toward Fletcher Kane’s secret vault room and break open his personal safe. However, if this doesn’t happen, and you get stuck, you can fix the bug by enteringRanked Modeinstead ofFortnite’sregular Battle Royale modes.
Although the exact reason for this bug is unknown, one possible reason is the Found quest andFortnite’sWanted: Skillet missionhaving the same objective. If you complete Skillet’s Wanted mission first and advance far enough to break open Fletcher Kane’s safe, the game has to recognize both objectives, which can cause some problems. This mostly happens in unranked matches for unknown reasons.
While there’s a good chance Epic Games will patch this bug in the future, we have to work around it in the meantime. The most consistent method for fixing it is entering a Ranked match and playing through the quest as usual. In most cases, this resolves the problem without much concern.
However, if this doesn’t resolve the issue and you’re still encountering the bug, you can try the following methods to fix it:
In most cases, playing Ranked Fortnite will work, allowing you to proceed through the quest. However, you may also advance through other quests, such as Skillet’s Wanted series, or switch to another game mode like regular Build Mode or Zero Build. In rare cases, restarting Fortnite may be all you need. Otherwise, you may have to wait for Epic Games to patch the bug and either change the quests or allow both missions to progress simultaneously.
