Best Landing Spots in Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 1, Ranked
- Finding the best landing spots in Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 1 can be challenging, considering the entire map has changed immediately after the Chapter 2 Remix: Endgame event ended. Fortnite's new chapter is an interesting mix of future elements and Japanese culture. Various Japanese locations have been added to the game, each with a completely different feel.
- The landing spot is evaluated based on many factors - enemy density, number of chests, strategic location on the map, and mobility options. Additionally, spots with good cover or quick access to high ground are usually ideal, especially for competitive players.
- On that note, here are the best landing spots in Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 1.
- Overlook Lantern and Other Good Landing Spots in Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 1
- Overlook Lantern (Landmark)
The Overlook Lantern is located in the easternmost part of the map, next to the Glitter Bridge. While it looks like a small location with minimal loot, it is very safe from early battles. For mobility, there is both a starting pad on the edge of the hill and several vehicles at the bottom of the hill to the south, making it easy to turn around the storm.
The Big Turn is located right next to Canyon Crossing, one of the worst places to land in Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 1. While the location itself, named Big Turn, has almost no loot, the easily accessible nearby locations have plenty of things to collect.
If you are an experienced solo player who focuses on getting placement points instead of kills, rotating around the Big Turn will be very effective and safe for you.
Grim Dock is located in the northwest of the map, to the left of Drowned Frogs. This named location is likely to be inaccessible in the first storm circle most of the time. However, what makes it a great landing spot is the amount of wood, the amount of cover, and the nearly endless loot. Even if you need to get out of the storm circle, there is always a transport available somewhere nearby.
Burd is a small named place between Night Forest and Samurai's Retreat. Despite its small area, it contains all the necessary things: chests, gas stations, vehicles, slurp trucks, slurp barrels and various shelters.
Additionally, many players are busy taking down NPC bosses, so you won’t be caught in dangerous encounters early in the game and will have plenty of time to loot and prepare. All of these factors combined make Burd one of the best places to land in Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 1.
3) Kite's Flight (Landmark)
Kite's Flight is one of the furthest landing spots in Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 1 from the center. It's a separate mini-island to the right of Hopeful Heights.
Although it is quite far from the main areas and subject to storm circles almost every time, there are tethers and several launch pads within a few hundred meters of the location.
2) Nightshift Forest
If you're looking for a large location with plenty of loot and hiding options to feel safe, Night Forest is probably the best named place to land this season.
There are hundreds of giant trees and rocks to mine for materials, dozens of chests every few meters, and some mobility options. The purple forest biome looks amazing in the game and has enough elements to help you survive.
1) Splitting Pins (Landmark)
Splitting Pins is the southernmost and one of the best landing spots in Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 1, especially for teams. Here you’ll find plenty of loot, a Reloading Station, a few vehicles, and virtually no early combat (so you can explore in peace). Just above it to the north, you’ll find a few more small houses in the Snow Tundra biome for loot and cover.
So, there you have it, a list of the best landing spots in Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 1. Please note that the list is subject to change as the Fortnite map continues to evolve over time.
