Fortnite season 5 week 5 challenge guide: Where to collect gnomes from Fort Crumpet and Holly Hedges

The third stage of Doggo’s Fortnite challenges during season 5 week 5 requires you to collect four garden gnomes across Fort Crumpet and Holly Hedges. This challenge is almost exactly the same as the first stage, which is for digging up garden gnomes — so don’t confuse the two. You must complete stages one and two before being able to make progress toward this one at stage three. As with most challenges, the game doesn’t tell you where to find the four gnomes, but luckily, we can fill you in on the locations of all of them.

In this guide, we’ll show you everything you need to know about collecting gnomes to complete this week’s challenge. Here’s where to collect gnomes from Fort Crumpet and Holly Hedges in Fortnite.

Gnome locations

Much like the first stage of Doggo’s requests, the gnomes in this challenge can be collected in any order. Just be aware that the two locations — Fort Crumpet and Holly Hedges — will likely be super busy because of the challenge. It’s best to attempt to collect gnomes with a squad so they can watch your back. Also, unlike the first stage, these gnomes do not need to be dug up. They can simply be collected by pressing Square on PlayStation, X on Xbox, and Y on Nintendo Switch.

Holly Hedges — First gnome

The first gnome is located in the outside section of the store in the middle of Holly Hedges. It’s sort of like the garden section of a large department store. The gnome is found cleverly hidden among the plants on the eastern side.

Holly Hedges — Second gnome

The next one is just north of the previous gnome. Make your way over to the festive, holiday-looking area and you’ll find the gnome next to some presents. (When using the map above, reference the red circle, not the blue waypoint.)

Fort Crumpet — First gnome

Next, make your way to Fort Crumpet, which is located on the northwestern side of the map, south of Coral Castle. This gnome is found inside the fort on the eastern side behind the cash register area. It’s close to a stack of souvenirs.

Fort Crumpet — Second gnome

For the final gnome, look for it in the center of the fort, behind a set of stairs. It’s on the ground level — the same as the previous gnome.

After you’ve collected all four gnomes (in any order), you’ll gain credit for completing the challenge and earn 20,000 XP for doing so. Now, you’ll only have one more Doggo quest left, which will have you bury the gnomes you just collected in various areas around the map.

How to use Double Pump in Fortnite OG
Fortnite Double Pump Shotguns

With the introduction of the new OG mode, Fortnite has brought back the traditional Battle Royale gameplay. This mode returns players to the island they were on during the first season of Chapter 1. Not only has the island been brought back but the original art style, loot pool, weapon sounds, and even some of the original techniques that players use to win the coveted Victory Royale battle also returned.

One of the most well-known broken tricks that gave rise to a powerful meta in the early days of Fortnite was the Double Pump. Despite the fact that the game still allows you to Rocket Ride your buddies toward an adversary and perform one-shot sniper kills, the most popular option remains the OG Double Pump.

How to get free skins in Fortnite (December 2024)
Fortnite Chord Kahele skin

Fortnite cosmetics are always a hot sell in the gaming community due to their rarity, value in V-Bucks, and unique designs. Among those, skins are the most popular cosmetic item in the game, and some players even spend a fortune purchasing almost every Item Shop outfit.

However, some players who like the free-to-play aspect of the game rely on free rewards in the Battle Pass or through quests and events that Epic releases from time to time. But it's quite rare that Fortnite gives out a free skin to its player base, let alone multiple outfits in a single go, but that is exactly what is available for players right now.
