Fortnite challenge guide: Collect cookbooks from Pleasant Park and Craggy Cliffs

Season 5, week 14 of Fortnite is underway, meaning there are a new set of challenges for you to check out. For the most part, week 14 features a relatively straightforward list of challenges — many of which you can complete with little to no assistance. However, there are a couple that might cause some issues if you don’t know where to go. The first one you’ll likely have trouble with requires you to collect four cookbooks from Pleasant Park and Craggy Cliffs.

As is typical, the game doesn’t specify all the cookbook locations, which is where we come in. Oddly enough, the challenge is worded incorrectly. You don’t have to find cookbooks at both locations. Instead, as long as you find four across one or both areas, you’ll get credit for completing the challenge. In this guide, we’ll show you where to find cookbooks to complete this season 5, week 14 Fortnite challenge.

Where to find cookbooks from Pleasant Park and Craggy Cliffs

In total, there are 10 cookbooks scattered across both locations. To complete this challenge, you only need to find four of them — and any combination will do. In fact, you don’t need to visit both locations at all. Simply land at either Pleasant Park or Craggy Cliffs and grab four cookbooks to complete the challenge.

The other thing to know is that there is no prerequisite for starting this challenge. During season 5, many challenges have prerequisites that must be finished first before moving on, but this is the first stage, so you can jump into it right away. Aside from that, you should know that this challenge does not need to be completed in one match (though it can be done in one match relatively easily). Your progress carries over, so don’t worry if you die before getting all four cookbooks.

Below, we’ll list the locations of all 10 cookbooks, so feel free to grab them in any order you like.

Pleasant Park

Most of the cookbooks at Pleasant Park are found in the kitchens of houses. We recommend landing on the west side of this area. Then, make your way north, hitting all the houses along the side. The map below (courtesy of Fortnite.gg) has more details.

Once you’ve collected your fourth cookbook, you’ll earn credit for completing the challenge, along with 40,000 XP for your troubles. Not too bad for a few minutes of work!

Fortnite is finally getting a first-person mode next week
Key art for Fortnite's new first person shooter mode Ballistic.

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.

Fortnite OG isn't exactly a new mode -- it's come and gone several times before. What makes today's rollout special is that Fortnite OG is here to stay, and it's news that has delighted a lot of fans. Players have flocked back to Fortnite to play the nostalgia-riddled modes they remember.

In fact, within a mere 20 minutes of release, Fortnite OG had more than 1 million concurrent players in regular Fortnite and another 270,000 in Zero Build, Polygon reports. For context, that's about 1,822 times the maximum number of players Concord saw. Fortnite has always been a force of nature, but it has recently seen a surge of gamers like never before. As of right now, as we write this story, the game has 3,383,844 players, with its all-time high peak -- yes, of any of the previous years -- coming just five days ago with a whopping 14 million concurrent players.

Epic Games just gave Fortnite veterans the best gift: permanent OG mode
Fortnite OG Key Art

If you're a long-time Fortnite player who can't stop asking where Tilted Towers disappeared to, this update is for you. Epic is bringing back Fortnite OG -- this time, for good. The game mode will cycle through the game's first season and let players revisit their favorite locations and loot just as they remember it from way back in 2017.

And when Epic Games says it's going back, it means all the way back. The mode will initially go through the seasons of Chapter 1, including all the loot changes and feature introductions. Think of it something like a crash course in the evolution of Fortnite; you can experience it just as players did back then and learn as you go. As a veteran of those early battle royale years, I can promise it was a vastly different experience than it is now.
