Fortnite challenge guide: Collect research books from Holly Hedges and Pleasant Park

Add as a preferred source on Google

With the start of Fortnite season 6, week 8, you’ll want to jump in and complete the new set of challenges. As is common this season, the challenges aren’t too tricky, though some of them do require you to visit certain locations that you might not be aware of. One challenge is to collect research books from Holly Hedges and Pleasant Park. To complete it, you only need to find three of the eight books that are spread out across each area — and you can mix and match.

What this means is that you only have to land at one location to meet the requirements of the challenge, so you should be able to finish this one quickly. In this guide, we’ll show you where all eight books are located, with images of each. Here’s how to collect research books from Holly Hedges and Pleasant Park in Fortnite.

Use the map above (thanks to Fortnite.gg) for reference. As you can see, there are eight research books in total, but you only need to collect three of them, and they can be from either location. We recommend landing at whichever location is the most out of the way to lower your chances of coming across another enemy team. The nice thing is that these books are all relatively close to one another, so you can quickly grab them back to back, even if someone is nearby.

We’ll show you where each of the books are located below.

You can collect any book at any time, but for the purposes of simplicity, let’s start at the bottom of Holly Hedges (we’ll wrap around counterclockwise). This book is found on the first floor of the house on the south portion of this area, slightly to the east.

Razer’s Kraken V4 X Sensa wants to add haptics to your gaming audio
Sensa HD Haptics turns in-game audio into physical feedback, so every gunshot and explosion will hit differently.

Razer has decided that hearing an explosion isn't quite enough anymore. The company has launched the Kraken V4 X Sensa HD Haptics, a new wired gaming headset that adds physical vibrations to the audio experience. Essentially, when something suitably dramatic happens in a game, the headset can make the player feel it as well as hear it.

The big trick here is Sensa HD Haptics, Razer's haptic technology that converts compatible game audio into physical feedback. Explosions, gunshots, engines, and other low-frequency sounds can translate into vibrations through the headset, adding another layer of immersion without requiring a fancy gaming chair with an unnecessarily aggressive subwoofer.
