Fortnite Week 5 Challenges focus on digging up, collecting and burying Gnomes at specific locations on the Battle Royale map. In this all-encompassing guide, we’ll show you where you need to go to locate Gnomes and Gnome placement spots in Fort Crumpet, Pleasant Park, Holly Hedges and Retail Row. There’s a lot to dig into, so let’s get to it.

Dig Up Gnomes from Fort Crumpet and Pleasant Park locations

Fort Crumpet

While hardcore Fortnite fans may know the location of Fort Crumpet, it’s not officially named on the Battle Royale map. As you can see on the map below, however, it’s located in a clearing southwest of Coral Castle. The first location to dig up Gnomes is marked.

Go through the main entrance, take a right by the concession stand and you’ll see the Gnome sticking out of the ground near the stairs. Hit the spot with your Pickaxe to dig up the Gnome.

For the second spot at Fort Crumpet, pass by the stairs and take a left under the wooden structure. You’ll see a bench. Right next to that bench is another spot to dig with your Pickaxe.

Pleasant Park

It’s a similar affair over in Pleasant Park. The first dig spot is towards the northeast corner of the PoI.

Look for this tree in a clearing, directly in front of the blue house and stone house shown here.

The second spot to dig up is behind the stone house, so just head straight for it. To complete the challenge you need to dig up both Gnomes in their respective locations, so pick the one you like best.

Bury Gnomes in Pleasant Park or Retail Row

Pleasant Park

For the Gnome burying challenge the concept is basically the same, only you need to approach the dirt mound and interact with it to “bury Gnome.” The first location you can do this is in the center of the location, as marked on the map below.

It’s at this bench right near the soccer net. You won’t see the mound in my picture because this guide was made in the Battle Lab.

For the second Gnome burying spot, pass through the gazebo and head for the stone house you see straight ahead. There’s a mound near the tree out front.

Retail Row

When it comes to burying Gnomes in Retail Row, start by going to this spot in the western part of the location.

You’ll see a yellow house. On the corner of the fence is this unique plant with a burial spot nearby.

The second Gnome burying spot at Retail is in the northwest corner.

Go to the blue house. Right near the candy cane decorations out front is another location to bury a Gnome. To complete the challenge bury both Gnomes at one of these places.

Collect Gnomes from Fort Crumpet and Holly Hedges

Fort Crumpet

For this third and final Gnome challenge for Week 5, all you have to do is collect the Gnomes standing in the spots we describe. With that in mind, go back to the main entrance of Fort Crumpet where you may have been before.

Behind the counter of the concession stand right as you enter is the first Gnome.

From there, go under the stone arch doorway to your left, take another left and you’ll come to this wooden staircase. There’s a Gnome standing underneath. Just press the designated button to collect it.

Holly Hedges

At Holly Hedges you can collect your first Gnome towards the northern part of the location.

You’ll see it right as you pass under the arch with the big Christmas tree.

The second Holly Hedges Gnome is to the south.

Head to the back of the garden store, and you’ll find it hiding between some potted plants. That’s all you need to know about digging up, burying and collecting Gnomes for Fortnite‘s Week 5 Challenges.

That being said, digging up, burying and collecting Gnomes accounts for just three of the Week 5 Challenges that made their debut in Fortnite on Thursday.
