Alongside the battle between Shadow and Ghost, there are new secret challenges dealing with gnomes and bears. For this one, you'll have to find garden gnomes and telescopes.

Fortnite: For the Gnomes Secret Challenge, Telescopes location

This secret challenge came with Fortnite update 12.30. It most certainly announces a broader event that will take place in the coming weeks. It's called The Gnome Who Saw the Bear and consists of finding garden gnomes near telescopes to point them in a certain direction. The bear refers here to the constellations of stars.

Completing this challenge will reward you with 40,000 XP, same as for a classic challenge.

As you can see, all the telescopes to be activated near the gnomes are located within a small radius, northwest of Weeping Woods.

It remains to be seen whether other secret challenges will be added to the game or not. This is still a good way to raise your battle pass level without forcing yourself too much!

Kingsman Umbrella appears in Fortnite

Fortnite Chapter 2 Season 2 is based on a spy theme and the addition of the Kingsman: The Secret Service Umbrella proves it once again. Able to parry bullets, float its wearer or be used as a weapon, this item is more powerful than it seems.

If you go into the basement of the house the telescopes are pointing at, there is a bear party, a gnome in a cage, and a map on the wall that gives you a "Found TED battle plans" challenge completion. The points on the map don't seem to have anything special about them yet, from what I've found.

Can we have a zoomed in map image for the locations?

Why does each area with the telescopes/gnomes have buzzing bees sounds?
