Fortnite Chapter 2 season 1 challenges and where to find rainbow rentals – CNET

Fortnite Rainbow Rentals

Find these beach houses for this week’s challenge. 


Epic Games

Fortnite Chapter 2 may be a refresh of the game, but the challenges are the same as last season. A set of tasks is available to players each week, giving them experience points (XP) when completed. Points acquired increase a player’s tier level, which unlocks more content, especially if they have a season Battle Pass. 

The season is technically over, but developer Epic Games released multiple challenge sets Wednesday to tide players over until the start of season 2.

Search the hidden gnome found between Fancy View, a wooden shack and a big house

This challenge would be tricky, but luckily there’s a map for players. Head to the location, a hill with yellow flowers all over it, and wander around a bit for the gnome to pop up.
