What's up with the creepy laughing clown sounds in Fortnite? That's what a lot of a lot of people are asking today after the battle royale's game's recent update. As it turns out, it's not a clown at all. The sound you're hearing is coming from gnomes, and it's all connected to one of Fortnite's latest weekly challenges.

As explained previously, to complete the challenge you'll have to find and then "search" a total of seven of these gnomes, though you thankfully don't have to do all of this in a single match. You can check out this map to see the locations of the gnomes. Even though there is an explanation for the creepy noise, it's still a bit unsettling to come across.

Check out our complete guide for the remainder of Week 7's challenges. They primarily deal with doing things in specific locations or getting access to the right types of weapons (shotguns and suppressed weapons, in the case of this week).

It's also not too late to go back and complete those from previous weeks; Battle Pass owners have the remainder of April to finish all of Season 3's Fortnite: Battle Royale challenges. Earn the Battle Stars for completing challenges, and you'll more quickly level up the Battle Pass and earn its various rewards.

In other Fortnite news, the game's next limited time mode, High Explosives v2, is available now in the game. You can only use explosive weapons and items such as the Grenade, Impulse Grenade, Remote Explosive, Rocket Launcher, and the recently added Guided Missile.
