The Garden gnomes are definitely preparing a dirty trick for Fortnite Chapter 2 Season 4. With patch 14.20, a new secret challenge has appeared on Epic Games' battle royale. You'll have to defuse five bombs placed by the garden gnomes in various locations around the island. The challenge will be difficult to complete in one game, as you can see on the map below.
Map
These homemade bombs are placed in various strategic locations on the sites: under the foundations of buildings, near reservoirs...
Craggy Cliffs: under the foundations of the restaurant
Steamy Stacks: at the foot of the North reactor
Sweaty Sands: against a low wall on the east side of the city
Holly Hedges: outside the potted plant store
Misty Meadows : under the bridge
The method to defuse these bombs is extremely simple: move towards the barrel and then deactivate it with your basic interaction key. Once completed, this challenge will award you 25,000 EXP. That's as much as a standard weekly challenge.
At the time of this writing, we don't yet know what the garden gnomes are up to this season. It seems that they've invented a new type of slurp. It's impossible to guess what the effects of this mysterious drink might be, which may become a new utility item in the near future.
