How to help Valentina rob Fletcher Kane’s personal safe in Fortnite

After arriving in Outlaw Oasis and sabotaging payphones, your next goal is to talk to Valentina at the east side of the POI. You’ll usually see her skipping rope outside, but if there’s another player nearby, she may just stand there on alert until you arrive. Talking to her and hearing the brief about Fletcher Kane’s personal safe will progress the quest, with her leading you directly to the safe inside his secret vault room.

Once you and Valentina arrive at Fletcher Kane’s safe, you’ll have to fight off six incoming guards before completing the quest. After a few seconds, they’ll start running into the room, forcing you to defend Valentina as she opens the safe. Players will also often visit this area for quick and easy eliminations, so watch your surroundings as you battle these enemies.

After eliminating six of Fletcher Kane’s security guards, Valentina will open the safe, revealing some questionable items alongside gold bars. Following some brief interaction with her, you’ll officially complete the objective, bringing you one step closer to completing Skillet’s Wanted quests or Fortnite Chapter 6, Season 2’s Found quests.

In most cases, proceeding through Skillet’s Wanted quests or Found quests will naturally lead to you visiting Valentina and hearing her briefing about Fletcher Kane’s safe.

  • Enter Ranked Mode
  • Switch to another quest and advance through it first
  • Play another game mode (Zero Build to Build mode, or vice versa)
  • Restart Fortnite

For the most part, swapping to Ranked mode does the trick, but you may have to restart Fortnite a few times before it works.

You may also experience this bug while completing Fortnite’s Found quests. During the ‘Baron is reportedly hoarding gold in his office‘ objective, an identical issue that prevents you from progressing can occur. Fortunately, the tips above also apply here, giving you a way to solve this bug, too.
