Fortnite Season 5 Week 5 Challenge: Where to Dig and Bury Gnomes

Unearth the gnomes

The first gnome challenge this week is to dig up gnomes around the map. Players must visit Fort Crumpet and Pleasant Park to find glowing mounds of dirt which signify buried gnomes. Then the stacks need to be hit with a pickaxe so that the gnomes can come out of the ground. After getting all four you get a cool 20k XP added to your Battlepass.

Collect gnomes

For this challenge, you will return to Fort Crumpet and visit Holly Hedges to collect some gnomes. This is a simple interaction to collect each gnome, but you need to make sure the area is safe. Otherwise, you will be quickly eliminated before completing the quest. If you can collect all the gnomes, you’ll get another 20k XP voucher for your Battlepass.

Bury the gnomes

This challenge may end up being the simplest of the three, as you only need to bury two gnomes rather than digging or collecting four. This is another simple interaction task in Pleasant Park or Retail Row, but you need to make sure the area is safe before being removed during the task. After completing this one, you get an additional 20,000 XP for a total of 60,000 through all three challenges. Very nice to run around and interact with the gnomes.

To find all of these challenges and create the maps, we used fortnite.gg, which shows exactly where to go. It’s a handy tool if you want to tackle challenges quickly. Either way, it’s pretty easy to complete these gnome challenges considering the total of 60k Battlepass XP you get from Epic Games. Let us know if you go for the gnomes and if it was easy in the comments below.
