Fortnite season 5 week 5 challenge: Bury gnomes in Pleasant Park or Retail Row

For the final stage of Doggo’s Fortnite season 5, week 5 challenges, you’re required to bury gnomes in Pleasant Park or Retail Row. In total, you must bury two gnomes across either location at specific spots. As is typical with the challenges for this season, there are prerequisites to complete first before being able to attempt this one. Once you’re ready to attempt this challenge, you might have some trouble completing it since the game doesn’t specify where to bury the gnomes.

In this guide, we’ll show you everything you’ll need to know about burying gnomes in Pleasant Park or Retail Row in Fortnite.

How to acquire gnomes

Before being able to bury gnomes across each location, you need to unlock stage 4 of Doggo’s requests. To do that, you must complete steps 1 to 3, which include:

After you’ve completed the first three stages listed above, you can move onto the fourth and final stage.

Where to bury gnomes in Pleasant Park

The easiest way to complete the challenge for burying gnomes is to land at one of the locations — either Pleasant Park or Retail Row. You only need to bury two gnomes, and each location features two spots for you to complete the request, four in total. In essence, this means you can land at one location and finish with the challenge without having to go to the other one. All you need to do is bury two gnomes, so visit each spot found in the area where you land to easily finish this challenge. Keep in mind that you can bury the gnomes in any order, giving you some flexibility.

Here are the spots where you can bury a gnome at Pleasant Park. Use the map images for reference.

Pleasant Park — first location

The first spot is found right in the center of Pleasant Park, to the south of the pavilion in the middle. Look for a mound of dirt on the eastern side of the center patch of grass.

Pleasant Park — second location

The next spot is to the north of the previous, next to a tree in front of a house. It’s found on the northwestern section of Pleasant Park next to the sidewalk.

Where to bury gnomes at Retail Row

If you decide to land at Retail Row instead, you’ll want to be aware of the spots where you can bury gnomes.

Retail Row — first location

The first location is found on the northwestern side of Retail Row in the backyard of one of the houses. Look for the mound right by a tree.

Retail Row — second location

The final spot is found south of the previous location on the southeastern side of Retail Row. It’s found next to the sidewalk by a massive plant. After you’ve buried two gnomes total, you’ll gain credit for completing the challenge, along with 20,000 XP.

Fortnite’s overhauled battle pass system will make your life easier
The Device event in Fortnite Chapter 2

Fortnite players will see a big change to how they gain experience starting in December. Epic Games announced Monday that it's simplifying progress so that players can earn experience toward all three battle passes at once.

This battle pass for the battle royale portion already works like this: You can earn experience to progress through the battle pass track by playing in any Fortnite section. However, this wasn't the case with the Festival and Lego passes for Fortnite Festival and Lego Fortnite, respectively. That's changing after the current seasons and passes end later this year.

Fortnite is cutting down on item FOMO with new store change
The TMNT Fortnite skins. We have all four turtles in fighting poses in front of a purple background.

Fortnite practically runs on FOMO (fear of missing out). if you don't get the item you want in a battle pass, you'll most likely never get the chance again. So if you wanted to run around as Goku and missed when the excellent skin was available? Tough luck.

But that policy is changing soon. Developer Epic Games announced in a blog post that items could be made available in the Shop 18 months after their respective battle passes expired at the least. That includes alt styles, which might also come to the Shop, along with licensed outfits you may have missed out on. This also applies to items that may have been unlocked after a battle pass launch.

All Medallion locations in Fortnite Chapter 5, Season 3

A new season of Fortnite means a new cast of bosses with unique items to obtain. This season, your reward for besting the new Mad Max-inspired bosses is Medallions. These items, which first appeared in Season 1, grant your character some of the best buffs in the game. Unlike previous seasons, this time there are only three new bosses, and thus three Medallions to find and equip during a match. The only way to get them is to locate the bosses and manage to take them down. We can't help you in the fight itself, but can at least show you where to go and what each Medallion does.
All Medallion locations

The three bosses this season are Ringmaster Scarr, The Machinist, and Megalo Don. Each one appears in a different POI on the map and drops a unique Medallion.
Ringmaster Scarr
Scarr is found in the Nitrodome near the center of the map toward the south. She drops the Ringmaster's Medallion, which grants you unlimited ammo and a minor damage boost.
The Mechanist
Down near the south coast and slightly east is the Redline Rig POI, which is The Mechanist's lair. His Medallion will allow your shield to regenerate over time.
Megalo Don
The big bad of the season, and the most difficult boss of the trio, is Megalo Don. You can find him in the Brutal Beachhed POI, which is the giant ship beached far to the south and west of Redline Rig. If you manage to take this boss down you can get his Medallion, which gives your character, and by extension your vehicle, infinite Nitro.
