You aren’t alone because this issue prevents players from turning in the quest and unlocking Eren Jaeger as a playable character. This issue and many others have plagued the Fortnite community since the Fortnite team released the last update. However, you might be able to get around this issue depending on how far you have progressed in the quest.

How to Fix the “Find the Jaeger’s Family Basement” Quest in Fortnite

The “Find the Jaeger’s Family Basement” requires you to find the Jaeger Family Basement, located in the southeast corner of Anvil Square. Once found, all you need to do is walk inside the basement to trigger the completion of the quest… or that’s at least how it should work.

The Fortnite team posted on the Fortnite Status Twitter page that they are aware of an issue with players not being able to complete the quest if they had already visited Jaeger’s basement before purchasing the Battle Pass. They also mentioned that they would provide an update once the issue has been found and resolved.
