Fortnite is having us play HORSE with a new word, other than FORTNITE like last time. That word is NOMS, and we’re now collecting the letters out of order until we get all four. Next up after the initial “O” is “S,” which is going to be found in Wailing Woods.
Go here to see where to set off fireworks on the map. Go here to see all of week 4’s challenges.
Where exactly in Wailing Woods? Previously, you might just be able to look among the trees rather easily, but now there’s a giant secret underground A.I.M. base there, so exploration has become a bit more complicated. So where’s the S?
As expected, the S is located not up top in the woods, but in the bunker. The best way to get there is through the barbed-wire fenced-in building in the middle of the woods, as you can then drop down into the base that way fairly easily:
The letter itself took me a little while to find. It’s at the north end of the complex on the second floor in a little office room next to a bunch of consoles. I probably ran around for five minutes trying to find it, but hopefully it will take you less time. No one lands here so you should be safe. I think I placed 11 in this game just because of no one coming here and rather good unexpected storm circles. I mean, I’ll take it for doing nothing, I suppose. Gotta rack up those outlasts for the Ice King skin.
Here’s where the bunker is on the map, and as you can see, I am standing on the north side where the letter is:
After you snag the S, you’re halfway there. Well, technically 40% of the way there, because you still have to visit the NOMS sign after all this is over. I am going to be making up guides for all of the letters, and you can check all of those out below. If the links don’t work yet, it’s because I’m still working on the guide, but all of them should be up soon once I find the letters:
- Here’s where to search the letter “O” west of Pleasant Park (Stage 1)
- Here’s where to search the letter “M” in Dusty Divot (Stage 3).
- Here’s where to search the letter “N” under a Frozen Lake (Stage 4).
- Here’s where to visit the NOMS sign in Retail Row (Final Stage).
Alright, I am heading back out there to keep hunting. I hope this was helpful for you.
