Following the v9.30 update, a number of massive beach balls appeared across the Fortnite map, although developers Epic Games refrained from explaining what they were for at the time.

Now, with the release of the latest challenge, we finally understand their purpose, as they need to be bounced by players who want to complete this task.

If you’re struggling to find where the three giant beach balls are, we have created a handy map that should give you a decent idea to where they are. Once you get in the general vicinity, they’ll be hard to miss due to their size. Players must bounce a ball in five different matches to complete this challenge.

To bounce the ball, all players really have to do is run into it and send it flying. If you’re feeling a little more adventurous, you can use your harvesting tool to hit it and control its direction, or get underneath the massive inflatable and bounce it with your head.

Completing the challenge will reward players with a brand new loading screen, which sees some of the game’s most iconic skins lounging by some water in the summer versions of their attire.
