Fortnite: Hungry Gnomes Locations

Searching Hungry Gnomes is one of the weekly challenges in Fortnite. Complete it and you'll earn XP and Battle Stars that will help boost you up the Battle Pass tiers for those sweet exclusive rewards.

In this guide, we're going to help you find the location of every single Hungry Gnome and complete this challenge with relative ease. That way you can move onto completing the other difficult challenge for this week – searching between a bear, crater, and refrigerator shipment.

Fortnite - Search Hungry Gnomes

To complete this challenge in Fortnite you have to locate and search seven of a possible 14 different Hungry Gnomes scattered across the Fortnite map. Once you've found one, simply hold 'Y' in front of it to search it, adding that gnome to your tally.

You'll know you're near a gnome because they speak in an incredibly high-pitched voice. Follow it and you'll find a gnome easily enough.

You don't have to complete this challenge in a single match, but you do have to find seven different gnomes. With that in mind, it might be worth keeping a mental note of the gnomes you've already searched so you can head towards another one when you next play.

Once you've searched a gnome or two, you will have to complete the particular match of Fortnite you're playing at that point to register them as searched gnomes. Quit out, and you'll get nothing.
