Fortnite: Chapter 6 NPC #9 – Shadow Blade Hope Location

With the latest chapter of Fortnite comes an entirely new map and some more developments within the overarching storyline. With a different map now in play, that means there are going to be both familiar and new NPCs scattered throughout the game. In this guide, we will be showing you where to find Shadow Blade Hope, who is not a newcomer, but is now a ninja of sorts.

Chapter 6 NPC #9 – Shadow Blade Hope Location

To put it simply, she can be found in the very appropriately named Hopeful Heights location at the southeastern corner of the entire map. If you choose to drop there, you might even see her from a distance.

Check the map image below for the exact spot. She can be found at the top floor of the building at the southern edge of Hopeful Heights. The staircase leading up to her will be directly to your left as soon as you go through the front door.

That is pretty much it. She does not roam or anything, she just stands around and occasionally does some ninja moves on the spot. Right outside, at the balcony within the same floor, you will also find Vengeance Jones.

Shadow Blade Hope can sell players the Fury Assault Rifle, which is one of the new futuristic weapons added in this chapter. Just like most of the new additions in this update, it is a hitscan gun, so hopefully your aim is always on point!

The only thing to note here is that she can also sell you a legendary version of the gun. For this, though, you must first complete the Assault Rifle Expertise challenges. Complete the “Experts Wanted!” challenge first by asking her about “Expertise”.

We are currently unsure of what the Assault Rifle Expertise objectives are. The first stage, though, merely requires you to deal 15,000 damage to players using an assault rifle.

That is everything you need to know about Shadow Blade Hope’s location, as well as what services she can provide and how you can unlock further rewards. While you are here, go and check out our guide on where to find the other NPCs in Fortnite chapter 6 so that you can avail of their services too!
