A brand new hidden banner for Week 8, Season 8’s Discovery challenges has been planted somewhere on the Fortnite Battle Royale map and if you would like to find it, you have come to the right place.

As usual, the loading screen which is unlocked after completing the eighth set of weekly challenges includes a clue to help gamers in their quest to find the secret banner.

While the location can quite often be difficult to find, we’ve put together a very simple guide to help you along the way. After all, who doesn’t want to level up their Season 8 Battle Pass?

The Week 8 hidden banner is located near Polar Peak.

Where is the clue in the Week 8 loading screen?

As has been the case in both Week 6 and 7 during Season 8, the loading screen for Week 8 isn’t an image that shows you the type of location the banner can be found in.

It does, however, include four co-ordinates (B6, B7, C6 and C7) which will take you to the segment of the map you need to visit. This is highlighted on the loading screen below.

Epic Games Here’s the clues for the hidden banner, from the Week 8, Season 8 loading screen.

Where is the Week 8 hidden banner?

The co-ordinates will take you near both the Polar Peak and Viking Village points of interest, but the banner itself will actually placed right on the old Greasy Grove site – which is now a frozen lake.

Where each of these four quadrants on the Fortnite Battle Royale map meet is where you will find the hidden banner for Week 8, as seen on the following map.

The Week 8 hidden banner will be waiting for you in this area.

This is what the location of the Week 8 hidden banner will look like.

It’s worth noting that the hidden banner can only be collected once players have finished all of the Week 8, Season 8 weekly challenges, so make sure they are complete before heading to this location.

If you haven’t yet finished completing the seven new tasks, we have already put together some useful guides which could help you along the way. These include locations of the big telephones in Fortnite Battle Royale and a guide on how to search the treasure chest map at Paradise Palms.

Players who have completed 55 of the Season 8 weekly challenges will get their hands on the new Ruin skin too, so there’s plenty of incentives to finish this week’s offering.

The first live event of Chapter 3 is expected to take place in less than six weeks. Here’s everything we know so far, based on various leaks.

Leaked Map Stages

All future stages for the territories controlled by both The Seven and Imagined Order have been leaked by data-miner Hypex. The maps show the Resistance will retake control of most of the Island, leaving only Command Cavern and Loot Lake for the IO. The final stage will lead the story directly into a live event, with the Imagined Order having little options left for victory.

Leaked Quest Voice Line

Epic also recently added new voice lines for the upcoming Week 6 Quests which, when reviewed closely, appear to tease the main story of a new live event. The Agent Jones character claims “one of the IO’s Doomsday devices is now in production”, seemingly hinting that the new event could be related to Chapter 2 Season 2’s The Device, which was also focused around a “Doomsday Device”.

A transcript of the Agent Jones voice lines can be found below:

“This will not come as a surprise, but IO management loves Doomsday machines – loves them! There’s even a doomsday division at HQ, oh man their softball team is awful but they will one day destroy us all so… kind of a wash. We have very credible intel that one of the IO’s Doomsday devices is now in production. We need to find out everything we can while we still can. Hit the field, I’ll prep the cameras . . . I have a very bad feeling that we are not ready for what we’re gonna find out.”

Doomsday Landmark

According to Fortnite data-miner GMatrixGames, a new Landmark code-named ‘DDMachine’ has been added to the game’s tags, suggesting that the Doomsday Device described by Agent Jones could be added to the map in the future.

Reminder that back a few updates ago, a landmark codenamed "DDMachine" was added to the tags, but never added to the map. Bringing this up again, because of IO's Doomsday Division being brought up by Jones in his quest dialogue.

Less than six weeks remain until the potential live event. We’ll keep you updated with the latest leaks and official announcements.

Players can now find the items scattered throughout the Island from Chests, Llamas, Supply Drops, Loot Sharks and ground loot. Once the short trial period ends on April 25 at 8AM ET, new gold funding stations will go live in-game on the following day to let players “fund” the item they want to see return permanently (for the rest of Season 2). The item that becomes 100% funded first will automatically be reintroduced to the loot pool as soon as the goal, of which the exact value is unknown, is reached.

We’ll keep you updated on which item gets unvaulted.

Fortnite has re-added multiple Item Shop sections to its API, meaning they will be available very soon. Five existing sections have also been removed, suggesting Epic doesn’t plan to bring those Sets back to the Item Shop for a while.
