↖ What Are Gnomes in Fortnite?
Gnomes have been part of Fortnite since its early days in Chapter One, often appearing in humorous or mysterious situations. These tiny figures were scattered across the map, with new ones appearing each week, contributing to the ever-changing world of Fortnite.
Although they resemble simple garden gnomes, they’ve played a surprisingly important role in Fortnite’s lore. If you’re up for the challenge, finding these gnomes during the Fortnite OG season will not only earn you some serious XP but also immerse you in the nostalgia of Fortnite’s early seasons. The current season runs until December 2, so there’s plenty of time to uncover these hidden gems and their associated quests if more appear.
↖ Why Should You Hunt for Gnomes?
In Fortnite OG season, gnomes are scattered across the map, each offering a sizable reward of 20,000 XP when found. With 10 gnomes in total, players can rack up 200,000 XP, which is equivalent to gaining 2.5 levels in the Battle Pass.
These gnomes are known for their mischievous antics, hiding in various spots while players compete for the Victory Royale. Once you find a gnome and interact with it, it disappears, and the XP reward is a one-time prize. The hunt adds a fun, lighthearted challenge for players looking to level up.
↖ All Hidden Gnome Locations
Fortnite’s OG season includes a helpful mechanic for tracking down these gnomes. As players approach a gnome, an alert symbol (represented by “!”) will appear, providing both a visual cue and map indicator. Here are the exact locations of all ten gnomes you can find:
- Gnome #1 (Junk Junction): Head to the north of Junk Junction, where a giant metal llama stands. The gnome is nearby, sitting next to a pile of bricks.
- Gnome #2 (Pleasant Park): South of the soccer field in Pleasant Park, you’ll find a gnome resting by a campfire, accompanied by a teddy bear and a cooler.
- Gnome #3 (Between Tilted Towers and Greasy Grove): On a mountain with three trees and a large rock, a gnome sits on a chair alongside three teddy bears.
- Gnome #4 (Shifty Shafts): Deep within the mines of Shifty Shafts, break through a wooden wall with your Pickaxe to uncover a gnome playing cards with teddy bears.
- Gnome #5 (East of Shifty Shafts): Climb the mountain closest to the river bend to find a Battle Bus. A gnome lies face-down in the dirt nearby, having failed to deploy its glider.
- Gnome #6 (Dusty Divot): Just west of the massive crater in Dusty Divot, look for a small puddle where a gnome is sunbathing beside a teddy bear.
- Gnome #7 (Risky Reels): In the northern section of Risky Reels, behind two camper vans, you’ll find a gnome seemingly waiting for dinner.
- Gnome #8 (Wailing Woods): Within the hedge maze at the center of Wailing Woods, to the left, a gnome is trapped inside a metal cage. Destroy the cage to free the gnome and collect your XP.
- Gnome #9 (Lonely Lodge): In the northern area near a small body of water, a gnome at Lonely Lodge is seen fishing despite the “No Fishing” sign.
- Gnome #10 (East of Paradise Palms): Beside a cliff east of Paradise Palms, you’ll find a gnome mourning at two graves. Disturb the gnome to claim your XP.
↖ Conclusion
