Fortnite challenge guide: Where to find literature samples

One of the challenges in Fortnite season 6, week 2 requires you to obtain literature samples from Pleasant Park, Lazy Lake, and Retail Row. While the concept itself is easy enough to understand, there are a couple of things you should know about this challenge before attempting to complete it. The first point is that you must complete the prerequisite before being able to go for this challenge.

The prerequisite given to you by Lara Croft is for utilizing five different zip lines. For that, we recommend visiting The Spire in the middle of the map, as there are multiple zip lines for you to use. Once you’ve ridden five different zip lines, back out to the main menu, and you’ll be able to start finding literature samples. There are five in total, but for the purposes of this challenge, you only need to find four.

In this guide, we’ll outline the locations for all five. Here’s where to obtain literature samples from Pleasant Park, Lazy Lake, and Retail Row in Fortnite.

Above is a map of all five literature sample locations (thanks, Fortnite.gg). As you can see, there are two in Pleasant Park, two in Lazy Lake, and one in Retail Row. They can be collected in any order, and your progress carries over from one match to the next. Literature samples are found in bookshelves across the map, so keep your eyes peeled for them as you hunt for these items.

Here are the individual locations of all five literature samples.

Retail Row

For the one and only literature sample in Retail Row, head to the building on the southeastern side of this area. On the bottom floor, you’ll find the first sample set against a wall.

First, head to the building toward the south with the pool. You’ll want to navigate to the bottom floor, where you’ll find this literature sample in a room beneath a poster that reads “Lazy Lake Spa.”

Second literature sample

The final sample is located in the large house on the western side of this area. It’s just north of the southwestern-most house on the bottom floor.

FTC issuing $72 million in refunds over ‘unwanted’ Fortnite purchases
Fortnite at recommended settings

No one will argue that Fortnite is a money-printing machine, but some of its practices went too far with the way it pressured players into spending their hard-earned dough, and now the United States Federal Trade Commission (FTC) is issuing more than $72 million in refunds to affected players across the country. If you're eligible for the refund, you'll be notified in the coming weeks, and you can expect an average payment of around $114, according to VGC.

Epic Games came under fire for this current situation back in 2022 when the publisher was accused of violating the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) along with accusations of tricking players into making unwanted charges. The FTC said Epic Games "used dark patterns to trick players into making unwanted purchases and let children rack up unauthorized charges without any parental involvement." Epic agreed to pay over $500 million to settle the complaints brought by the FTC.

Fortnite's various Lego modes have been around for just under a year, but they remain some of the most popular choices for players. With the one-year anniversary coming up, Epic Games announced a series of significant changes coming to the game type.

To begin with, Lego Fortnite will be renamed Lego Fortnite Odyssey. That's because Lego Fortnite will become the hub for anything Lego-related within the Fortnite ecosystem and provide players with an easy way to start up any Lego game mode.

Fortnite is finally getting a first-person mode next week

Fortnite Ballistic, the long-awaited first-person mode for Epic Games' hit battle royale shooter Fortnite, will finally come to the game on December 11.

Epic Games first teased a first-person Fortnite mode in March, but now we have a clearer idea of how it will play. Ballistic is a round-based 5v5 mode with no respawns, similar to competitive shooters like Valorant or Spectre Divide. A team of attackers fights to plant and detonate a Rift Point Device in certain spots on the map, while defenders fight to eliminate the other team before they can do the same. While attackers and defenders will swap their roles after six rounds, Ballistic matches are a best-of-seven affair across both ranked and unranked play.
