Hidden and hungry gnomes are back and you're tasked once again with finding and collecting seven gnomes. As you draw near a gnome, listen for the creepy laughter and you'll know your close. Use our map to find the location of all 14 gnomes.
There are 14 gnomes in all but you only need to collect seven to complete the challenge. Each one is listed below:
Inside the gas station at Salty Springs. Inside the gas station at Pleasant Park. Behind a chair in the taco shop at the small soccer stadium west of Tilted Towers. In the grocery store of Tilted Towers. Behind a fast food counter at Risky Reels. In the movie filming section of Moisty Mire. At Lucky Landing. At the gas station south of Retail Row. Inside the convenience store in Retail Row. At the disco hall in the shipping yard north of Flush Factory. At the gas station south of Shifty Shafts. Inside the burger joint at Greasy Grove. On the right side of the new soccer stadium north of Pleasant Park. Inside the pizzeria at Tomato Town.EditSearch between a Bear, Crater, and a Refrigerator Shipment
Another week, another battle token to find. This one is wedged between a bear statue, a crater, and a truck transporting a fridge. You can find these locations on the east side of the map, east of Retail Row.
The exact location is in quadrant I7 just north of the house near the gas station. The battle token will appear above a little dirt patch in the grass. Use the map above for the exact location!
Deal 250 damage through headshots. Considering headshots typically double the damage, reaching 250 total damage should not be too hard. Obviously, aim for the head to make it happen, but certain weapons could make this easier. Using shotguns when you're up close can make it a lot less of a chore. Be above an enemy to increase your chances. While you're sniping, you should be aiming for the head anyway.
Find and open seven chests in Salty Springs. Head to the little town south of Dusty Divot and start searching the houses for chests. You'll primarily find chests in:
Attics of homes Within a dog house outside. Inside garages. Within the secret underground bunker in the northwestern house.For a look at all the chests in Salty Springs, check our interactive map for the locations - and help us add any we missed! Remember, not every chest will spawn each match!
Open seven different chests in the same match. This one can be pretty tough but not if you plan beforehand. You can try your hand at a busy area with a ton of chests like Tilted Towers or Pleasant Park, but you're better off finding something quieter.
For example, dropping into Moisty Mire when it's far from the path of the Battle Bus can get you a ton of chests, and the nearby prison can offer even more. Areas like Lucky Landing and Junk Junction that are on the edge of the map will have fewer players.
Take out three enemies using suppressed weapons. Use any of the weapons below to add to this challenge. See our full list of weapons here.
Defeat three enemies in Pleasant Park. This named location is already quite the hot spot so it will only get busier with this challenge. Pleasant Park is full of homes with chests and loots. Enemies will either fly onto a rooftop and break through or simply enter through the front door. Get a weapon quickly and get the jump on other players still searching for something to fight with. Some players try to run to the center of the town to grab some loot, giving you a chance to attack them when they're out in the open.
