Fortnite: How to Activate Hope’s Lobby Hack in the Admin Panel

Collect three graffiti pieces, assemble the code S7H-50P-R03, and enter it in the lobby terminal to break free of Geno.

Collect three graffiti pieces, assemble the code S7H-50P-R03, and enter it in the lobby terminal to break free of Geno.

Hope’s Lobby Hack is the fifth stage of Geno’s Story Quests in Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 4: Override. To finish it, you assemble a code from three graffiti pieces scattered around the map, then type that code into the Admin Panel in your lobby. Doing so severs the mind connection Geno has held over you since the start of the season.

Quick answer: Record all three graffiti pieces, then open the “…/ admin panel” button in the top-right of your lobby and enter S7H-50P-R03.

Record the three Lobby Hack pieces graffitied by Hope

Before the code becomes usable, the quest asks you to record three Lobby Hack pieces that Hope has graffitied across the map. Each one is marked with a white diamond icon, and interacting with it adds a letter-number fragment to your Quests tab. The three fragments are S7H-, 50P-, and R03.

Once you have recorded all three, the progress tracker reads 3/3 and the complete code, S7H-50P-R03, appears in the Quests tab. The code uses the number zero, not the letter O, and it is not case-sensitive.

Nightmare Neighborhood is patrolled by the Freddy Krueger boss, so approach that graffiti carefully to avoid being attacked while you collect the piece.

Enter S7H-50P-R03 in the Admin Panel

The code is entered from the lobby, not during a match, using the same Admin Panel that handles every Lobby Hack code this season. Make sure you are back on the main Play screen before you start.

Return to the Fortnite lobby and look at the upper-right corner of the screen for the “…/ admin panel” button. Select it to open the terminal popup.
In the input field under $ enter_found_lobby_hacks, type S7H-50P-R03 exactly, dashes included. There is no timer, so take your time and check each character.
Press Submit. The terminal closes and the sequence plays out in your lobby.

How to confirm the code worked

After you submit, Geno’s voice plays over the lobby and your screen fills with heavy glitch distortion. The screen then fades to black and shows a “RECONNECTING” status before dropping you back into the lobby. This whole effect is part of the questline and signals that the code registered.

Geno delivers a short run of villainous lines as the connection breaks, ending with a threat that he will be “everywhere else” even after leaving your mind. Once you are back in the lobby, the stage is complete and you are no longer under his control.

The mission can be glitchy. If progress does not update right away, load into a new round and check the Quests tab again.


What you get for activating the hack

The reward here is story-focused rather than a cosmetic or Gizmo. Entering the code frees you from Geno’s control, ends the tasks you were performing for him, and plays a bonus voice line that advances the season’s main plot. You can only use Hope’s Lobby Hack once, so there is no need to re-enter it.
