The Fortnite 8-Ball vs. Scratch challenges are live, as Epic dropped them a day earlier than expected. One challenge will task players with searching the hidden gnome between Fancy View, a wooden shack, and a big house.
In addition to dropping new challenges, Epic also announced that they would be releasing a Ninja skin in the coming days, and added Sidegrading in the v11.40 update.
Where to Search the Hidden Gnome in the 8-Ball vs. Scratch Challenges
If you’re trying to track down the hidden gnome in the 8-Ball vs. Scratch challenges, then you’re probably scratching your head trying to figure out where the hidden location between Fancy View, a wooden shack, and a big house is located.
Unfortunately, it’s not immediately obvious where you should be looking for the gnome, but we’ve tracked down its exact location. As you can see on the map above, you’ll find the hidden gnome in Fortnite along the western side of the map.
More specifically, you’ll find the hidden gnome southwest of Sweaty Sands, close to the edge of the beach. As you get close, you’ll find it resting in a patch of yellow flowers.
At first, these types of challenges can seem daunting, but they’re actually pretty easy. It’s also not the only hidden gnome challenge, as one was released with the Rippley vs. Sludge challenges.
Fortnite Chapter 2: Season 1 is currently set to end sometime in February. In the meantime, be sure to check out our official Fortnite wiki along with our Weekly Challenge guides.
