Here are the locations in which you will need to Bury Gnomes in Pleasant Park or Retail Row in Fortnite.

There are many challenges for Week 5 of Fortnite Battle Royale that involve Gnomes. One of the challenges requires you to bury Gnomes in either Pleasant Park or in Retail Row. At the time of writing, the challenges have not yet gone live in-game and so the location of the digsite in Pleasant Park and Retail Row is not confirmed as yet.

In order to complete this challenge, you will need to bury one Gnome in either Pleasant Park or Retail Row, so you do not need to go to both locations. You can see how to complete this challenge below.

Fortnite: Bury Gnomes in Pleasant Park or Retail Row

For you to unlock this challenge, you will have needed to complete the Dig up Gnomes in Fort Crumpet or Pleasant Park Challenge. We have a guide to show the location of the Gnomes, which you can see by clicking here.

Here’s everything you need to know about the Fortnite new years event to end 2020 and celebrate 2021.

Epic Games released the Fortnite Christmas event, Operation Snowdown, two weeks ago. Players have been able to get two free Fortnite skins, Snowmando and Frost Squad, as well as a handful of other cosmetics including back blings, loading screens, wraps, gliders, pickaxes and more.

The rewards for the Christmas events towards the new year are always themed for the new year. Yesterday, players could unlock the confetti new years-themed wrap by stoking a campfire two times.

Although there aren’t any new challenges for the Fortnite new years, Epic Games always add in a small Fortnite event to celebrate the new year. It’s pretty much identical each year with the obvious change to the year that’s displayed at the end. Here’s everything you need to know about the Fortnite new years event for the end of 2020.

Fortnite New Years Event 2021 Time

If you’re wondering when the Fortnite new years event is, it happens every hour leading up to 2021. When it’s a new hour, the Fortnite new years event for 2021 will begin. You’ll see a disco ball emerge from the sky, a bunch of fireworks will go off, and you’ll be forced to dance.

It does get quite frustrating when you’re in the middle of a battle, but you’re forced to dance for 10 seconds or more while the Fortnite new years event happens. You won’t be able to use your weapons or pickaxe during the event. There is a countdown in the sky before it takes place along with a sound queue, so hopefully it’ll give you enough warning you’re about to dance your way into the new year.

Here’s some images of the Fortnite new years event for 2021:

Here’s to hoping 2021 will be much better than 2020. Stay safe.

Here’s the location of where to find the buried blue coin in Fortnite for the ‘find the buried blue coin in Retail Row’ week 5 challenge.

Yesterday was the release of the final Fortnite Operation Snowdown challenge. The Christmas event this year has provided two free skins and a host of other cosmetics including the Confetti Wrap that was available yesterday once players completed the ‘stoke a campfire’ challenge.

The challenges also provided players with 10,000 XP, providing players with another way to level up as quickly as possible this season. There’s no XP coins this season, so any additional XP will help players in the long run.

The normal weekly challenges provide players with 20,000 XP and today is the release of the week 5 Fortnite challenges. As usual, we’ll have seven new challenges to complete and thanks to data-miners, we know what all of the challenges are ahead of time. One of the challenge requires players to find the buried blue coin in Retail Row. Here’s the location of where you can find the buried blue coin in Fortnite season 5.

Find the buried blue coin in Retail Row Fortnite

Epic Games have found their creative hat when it comes to the week 5 challenges. We’re usually tasked with the same old rehashed, mundane challenges. However, there’s a number of challenges this week that are different to what we’ve seen in the past, or at the very least it hasn’t been used numerous times to the point where I remember a challenge similar to this one.

As provided by the challenge name, players can find the buried blue coin in Retail Row. Thankfully, there’s not too much guess work when it comes to finding the Fortnite buried blue coin in Retail Row thanks to the mud pile that indicates where the buried blue coin is located.

You can find the buried blue coin in Retail Row on the west side of the popular named location. You’ll find the Fortnite buried blue coin on the west side of the yellow house near the basketball hoop. Here’s the exact location where you’ll find it. NOTE: There’s three dig spots in Retail Row, so this could be the wrong location, we’ll update this as soon as the challenge is available.

We’re already into the fifth week of Fortnite chapter 2 season 5, which is expected to end in the middle of March. We’ve been kept busy with the Operation Snowdown challenges for the past two weeks in order to get the free Snowmando and Frost Squad skins along with other cosmetics including pickaxes, gliders, wraps and more.

Each challenge from Operation Snowdown provides players with 10,000 XP, but yesterday was the final challenge that will be releasing for the Christmas event. However, we have a brand new set of weekly challenges today.
