Fortnite Season 3 has arrived and the battle royale map is now partially underwater. Following the events of The Device, Epic Games has given the game a bit of a makeover in what it is called “Splashdown.”
With the launch of a new Fortnite Season, there are also new challenges to complete including dealing damage to new Loot Sharks at the Sweaty Sands location, searching chests at Rickety Rig, and eliminating 3 players in Steamy Stacks.
One of the new challenges also asks players to find 3 Gnomes at Homely Hills, one of the landmarks on the Fortnite Season 3 map. Homely Hills is located in the top left of the map – in the portion of the map that has been flooded with water – and has a handful of gnomes scattered about. Luckily, players only need to find three gnomes at Homely Hills to complete the challenge.
Thanks to a video by HarryNinetyFour, Fortnite players can see the quickest route to finding gnomes at Homely Hills. As mentioned, there are more than three gnomes scattered around the landmark, but the video claims that these are the quickest and easiest to locate.
Of course, since this is one of the new challenges for Fortnite Season 3 and players are going to be working quickly to increase their Battle Pass, there will likely be a lot of opponents to contend with when going after the gnomes. That's why it's best to avoid some of the more competitive modes in Fortnite and aim for something a little more casual.
Should someone dispatch you before finding all three gnomes at Homely Hills, don't worry. The challenge does not require that players complete it in a single battle royale match. However, the challenge will not count it if players locate the same gnome.
Once Fortnite players find all three of the gnomes at Homely Hills they will unlock a healthy 35,000 XP towards the Battle Pass. This Season's Battle Pass has quite a few aqua-themed cosmetics for players to collect, including an Aquaman skin themed after the DCEU iteration of the hero. Like last season put Deadpool front and center and showed Marvel fans some love, it appears that this season is doing the same with DC Comics.
Fortnite Season 3 is available now for PC, PS4, Switch, and Xbox One.
