Fortnite Hop Flowers: How to bounce on them without landing

Fortnite Hop Flowers have been taking root all over the jungle biome, in keeping with the overall Wilds theme of the current season. These plants have a somewhat passive role, letting players launch off them with a temporary reduced gravity effect to reach great heights – unlike the other fresh flora, Fortnite Pod Plants, which can be used for both healing yourself and attacking opponents. Hop Flowers are currently receiving extra attention after featuring in one of the weekly Fortnite quests, which tasks you with finding at least three plants within close proximity if you want a fighting chance of completing the assignment. If you're trying to bounce on different Hop Flowers without landing in Fortnite, then here's everything you need to know.

Where to find Fortnite Hop Flowers

Fortnite Hop Flowers can be found growing all over the jungle biome, which stretches from Shady Stilts in the north down to Rumble Ruins near the center of the island. Although a number of these are on the ground, many more can be found sprouting from the dense treetops above much of the area, and if you want to bounce on different Hop Flowers without landing then you need to find three of them grouped closely together. To narrow this down, I've marked three areas on the map where you can find a useful grouping of flowers in the trees:

  1. West of Shady Stilts
  2. West of Creeky Compound
  3. Southeast of Creeky Compound

When you walk into or jump on top of Fortnite Hop Flowers, you'll be launched into the air and receive the low-gravity Hop effect until you next touch down. While you're airborne you can steer yourself to an extent with the left stick, so use that while looking downwards with the right stick to bounce from one Hop Flower to the next – it may help to scope the surrounding area and plan a route first so you're not looking for your next launch pad at the last moment. Hit three different Hop Flowers in a row without landing and you can tick off this quest from your list.

If you're struggling to hit three different Fortnite Hop Flowers in a row, then you can attempt this challenge after activating Roaming Redeploy, one of the new Fortnite Augments that was recently added. This allows you to redeploy your glider after bouncing on a Hop Flower, making it significantly easier to land on another one, though it's completely down to luck (or rerolls) if you get offered this perk during a match.
