Gnomes in Fortnite locations
The gnomes in Fortnite are spread far apart. You’ll need to explore all manner of hills, streets, and lodges to get all of them. You also may need aim assist to take out other players who will inevitably block your way. Here are all of the gnome locations in Fortnite‘s OG season:
- Dusty Divot – You’ll find this gnome hanging out in the northern pool of Dusty Divot. It is sunbathing on a floaty.
- Junk Junction – Just outside the Junk Junction, you’ll find the gnome northwest. It’s on the hill and below the giant pinata metal structure.
- Pleasant Park – Go south of the neighborhood, and you’ll see the gnome by the campfire on a chair. It’s sitting next to a stuffed bear toy.
- Risky Reels – Go past the cars in the drive-in theatre and behind a white RV, you’ll see a gnome having a tea party.
- Wailing Woods – Go into the maze in the center of the Wailing Woods. To the west of the maze, you’ll see a gnome sadly caged next to a teddy bear. Break the cage and then collect the gnome.
- Lonely Lodge – If you head north from the lodge, you’ll see a no-fishing sign. The gnome will be seated on the chair next to it.
- Shifty Shafts #1 – Northeast of Shifty Shafts, you’ll find a ruined battle bus with its balloon deflated on the floor. Nearby, you’ll see a gnome in the ground head first.
- Shifty Shafts #2 – Go into the shafts north of the Shafty Shafts text on the map. You should see the white marker once you’re down there. Break the wood, and you’ll see the gnome sitting with the bear, playing poker.
- Greasy Grove – By the Easter Island-like head stone northeast of Greasy Grove, you’ll find the next gnome. It’s underneath the stone on the hill surrounded by three teddy bears.
- Paradise Palms – The last gnome can be spotted east of the area. You’ll see a gnome mourning someone by a grave. It’s behind an abandoned ranch.
Congrats! You’ve now found all of the gnomes in Fortnite. Some were relaxing, mourning, and even trapped in a cage. Even if the grind was troublesome, it’s a good source of Fortnite XP and worth the fuss.
