Fortnite challenge guide: Collect chocolate boxes from Pleasant Park, Holly Hedges, or Retail Row

For season 5, week 11 of Fortnite, you’ll have a huge batch of new challenges to complete — most of which are Valentine’s Day-themed. That means you’ll be running around the map looking for love-related items to help out the game’s various NPCs. One of the trickier challenges of the week is collecting chocolate boxes from Pleasant Park, Holly Hedges, or Retail Row. It’s confusing because the challenge description isn’t entirely clear on what you need to do.

There are chocolate boxes hidden around each of the three named locations, and what you need to do is collect three of them. You can mix and match — for example, you can gather two chocolate boxes from Retail Row and one from Pleasant Park, or any combination of the three. As long as you gather three boxes total, you’ll be good. If you check the challenge hub from the main menu, you’ll find a map highlighting each location — though, it doesn’t specify where the chocolate boxes are hidden.

In this guide, we’ll show you where to find three chocolate boxes to complete the challenge. Here’s how to collect chocolate boxes from Pleasant Park, Holly Hedges, or Retail Row in Fortnite.

How to collect chocolate boxes from Pleasant Park, Holly Hedges, or Retail Row

In looking at the map from the challenge hub above, the game doesn’t tell you where to find the chocolate boxes. There are many scattered around each area, but to finish this challenge, you only need to collect three. For the purposes of simplicity, we’ll only cover where to find three chocolate boxes so you can quickly complete the challenge.

We found two at Retail Row and one at Pleasant Park for a total of three boxes. Just keep in mind, there are other boxes across each area — but we’ll just be covering three of them since that’s all you need.

Boot up a Team Rumble match so you can spawn back in after you die, to make things easier. Battle Royale works as well, but it’s a tad harder since you only have one life. Either way, head to Retail Row first, to the southernmost building in the area in the middle. Use the image below for reference. On the top floor in the bedroom on the left, you’ll find a bed with the first chocolate box. Use Square on PlayStation, X on Xbox, or Y on Nintendo Switch to collect it. One down, two to go!

For the next one, head directly north to the large grocery store in Retail Row and in the middle of the floor next to the cash wrap is the next one. You can grab these in any order, but this is the process we used.

For the final one, you’ll need to head to Pleasant Park. We advise you to just quit out and start another match if the storm is getting close. If you can find a vehicle, you might be able to get to Pleasant Park from Retail Row in time, but you’ll likely need to start a second match just in case.

Head to the building on the southeastern side of Pleasant Park. On the top floor is a bedroom with the third box of chocolates. Grab it and you’ll complete the challenge and earn 20,000 XP.

Remember, you don’t have to collect these specific boxes, but these are the ones we used, and they’re relatively simple to find. You can explore Holly Hedges to find other options, but it’s just as easy to look for the ones we recommended.

How to give specialist a command in Fortnite
Character interacting with NPC in Fortnite.

As part of Fortnite's Spring Breakout Daily Quests, players are tasked with giving a hired specialist character a command. Of course, the game doesn't specify how to do this exactly, leading to some confusion amongst the community. Thankfully, we've got everything you need to know about completing this new quest with ease in Fortnite.
How to hire a specialist

Specialist Characters are specific NPCs all around the map. If you pull up the quest itself, you'll actually see a map of all the Specialist Characters. Keep in mind that not all NPCs fall into this category, so be sure to look at the map. We like the one to the very north of Breakwater Bay as it's usually out of the way. Once you find them, you'll need to pay 200 Gold Bars to hire them. If you don't have the funds, be sure to play more and complete bounties as needed.
How to give a character a command
After you've hired the Specialist Character, they'll be on your side for the duration of the match. If you look at the top left side of the screen, you'll see an icon that represents the Follower Communications wheel. Press and hold left on the D-pad on console or the middle mouse button on PC to get this menu to appear. Once it does, you can pick from a list of commands such as wait or follow. To complete the quest, you simply need to issue one command and after the NPC does what you ask, you'll earn credit for completing it.

The best weapons in Fortnite during Chapter 3, Season 4
New characters from Fortnite Chapter 4, Season 2.

Surviving in Fortnite and securing a Victory Royale takes skill and luck. Getting better at Fortnite requires a knowledge of the playing field and a drive to outlast your opponents, but none of that matters if you aren't picking up the right weapons. Building a loadout that suits your playstyle and managing your inventory as the match progresses is key to snagging a win. You don't want to be caught in a long-range battle against someone on a mountaintop without a solid rifle on hand, and you certainly don't want to find yourself inside a close-quarters building without an SMG or shotgun.

Our guide to the best weapons in Fortnite breaks down rarity types and what they mean, the most effective arms in each weapon category, and tips for how to use them. Chapter 4, Season 2 brought a lengthy list of changes to the Fortnite arsenal -- including new weapons and the return of some fan favorites.

Fortnite lawsuit: Are you eligible for a refund from Epic Games?
New characters in Fortnite Chapter 3, Season 4.

Fortnite developer Epic Games is being hit with $520 million in fines by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) for violating the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act and there's a chance that you could get a payout.

Out of that $520 million total, $245 million is set to be refunded to customers. Refunds are meant to go to those affected by the company's billing and refund practices -- mainly players (and parents of younger players) who were charged for unwanted cosmetics and were met with account locks if they tried to dispute the charges with their credit card companies.
