Bananas are consumable items in Fortnite that players can turn to for healing when they are in a pinch. They also play a role in some of the currently-available Fortnite Season 5 challenges and Milestones, which means that fans that are looking to earn some XP and progress through the tiers of the Battle Pass may have a newfound interest in this fruit. For those players, this guide will provide details on exactly where they should go to find a bevy of bananas in Fortnite.
To put things simply, Fortnite fans that are on the hunt for bananas need look no further than Coral Castle, a named location at the northwest corner of the map. Indeed, there are bananas all over the ground on the masses of land that surround the central structure, and players that visit the area should be able to complete most fruit-related tasks fairly quickly. To make completion of those tasks even easier, here is a map that highlights specific spots where bananas can appear:
To note, bananas are certainly not the only thing that players will find at Fortnite’s Coral Castle, as there are a number of campfires at this location as well. As with bananas, these campfires are at the center of a current quick challenge, and fans may want to interact with them while they are in the area. That said, the campfire challenge is not always available, and thus it may not work out perfectly to overlap it with the banana challenges.
Similarly, there is a rotating challenge that instructs players to find gnomes at Coral Castle, and there are three of them in total. To locate these small figures, fans should circle around the castle itself, as two can be found to the north of the structure, and one can be found to the south. Again, this is not a fixed weekly challenge, which may prevent players from completing it alongside of the other tasks that are sited at Coral Castle.
Finally, it is worth mentioning that Coral Castle is located just north of Sweaty Sands, which is a location where several Fortnite Season 5 NPCs can appear. These characters give players the opportunity to both earn and spend Gold Bars, and fans may want to consider visiting the Sweaty Sands NPCs after they have collected their bananas. Alternatively, they can head east to Pleasant Park, as characters can appear there as well.
Fortnite is free-to-play for PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
