Where are all the research books in 'Fortnite'? Pleasant Park and Holly Hedges.

While this may sound like a pretty straightforward challenge, it's worth noting that the books themselves don't really stand out all that much. Luckily, there are five research books located in Holly Hedges and just another three in Pleasant Park.

Finding all eight of them will earn you a whopping 24,000 experience points. YouTuber HarryNinetyFour posted a great video delineating where all of the research books are, here's what it looks like below when you come across one:

There are a few other Season 6 challenges, like dancing at the Durr Burger location.

It wouldn't be Fortnite without some strange dance moves, and this one challenge incorporates emotes into earning some more XP for yourself.

So where is the Durr Burger located? Just west of the Weepy Woods and north west of the Slurpy Swamp. Here it is on the island's map so you can find it more easily.

Because it's one of the more readily visible landmarks that players can see after they've hopped off the bus at the beginning of a game, and because of the nature of this challenge, you should be mindful of other gamers.

They'll probably be heading over to the location in order to get their dancing on and secure themselves some XP. So maybe land away from it and carefully make your way to the Durr Burger to ensure you aren't murked.
