Best landing spots in Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 1

In Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 1, choosing the best landing spots is crucial for gaining an early advantage and securing a Victory Royale during your Battle Royale matches.

Whether it’s landing spots with tons of loot or quieter spots with prime locations on the island, some locations in Fortnite have proved better than others to head for when jumping out of the Battle Bus.

Epic’s Hunters season has brought a brand-new ancient Japan-themed map, bringing all-new POIs, NPCs, weapons and items, as well as normal and Elemental Chests.

Below is a list of the best Fortnite locations you can land at in Chapter 6 Season 1.

Best drop spots in Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 1

Magic Mosses

The overgrown Magic Mosses POI is a moss-covered forest with obelisks and a secret underground loot cave. While there aren’t many buildings, it’s packed with chests, making it a great spot for looting. Be cautious, though—there’s limited cover, and enemies can ambush you easily while you gather gear.

It’s not the most central location, but it’s still closer to the center than many other POIs. Plus, with five Elemental Chests and plenty of vehicles, it offers excellent loot and rotation potential at the start of your match.

Nightshift Forest

Nightshift Forest is an eerie POI, featuring vibrant pink and purple trees that provide ample cover under the low light. Chests are scattered throughout, and the main central building serves as the focal point for looting, which is tall and offers loot on every level. However, it’s been one of the most popular POIs since launch, so you’ll need to stay alert, as other players will quickly arrive.

The main draw of this location is the hidden Mythic vault below the central area. To access it, find the elusive Night Ranger NPC, who spawns in different locations and will give you the vault key in exchange for a sprite. Inside, you’ll find four Rare chests, two Elemental Chests, abundant ammo, and a Typhoon Blade stand—making it a prime spot for players looking to stack up on powerful loot.

Burd

Burd is a hidden gem in Chapter 6 Season 1. Despite being one of the smallest POIs this season, it offers several unique advantages. The spot features a Slurp truck for instant shields, 18 chest spawns, a Reboot van, plenty of floor loot, and four vehicle spawns for easy rotations.

Even though it’s seemingly in no man’s land at the bottom left corner of the map, it’s surrounded by four different POIs, such as Nightshift Forest, Warrior’s Watch, Canyon Crossing, and Shogun’s Solitude. This makes it perfect whether you’re running solo or with your team for quick looting and efficient rotations to central zones, depending on the storm circle.

Warrior’s Watch

Warrior’s Watch is dominated by its central multi-level building atop a hill, offering a prime height advantage. The key to success here is to land, loot quickly, and then ascend to maintain strategic superiority over enemies. Being higher up not only gives you an edge in combat but also improves situational awareness for spotting nearby players.

Once you’ve cleared out the surrounding threats, you’ll have access to around 40 chests, as well as three Elemental Chests, and two nearby vehicles for rotation. Its central location also keeps you close to key POIs like Nightshift Forest and Canyon Crossing, offering flexibility for future engagements and storm rotations.

Masked Meadows

Masked Meadows offers a straightforward yet charming experience, capturing the essence of classic Chapter 1 POIs like Pleasant Park. The layout features evenly spaced houses surrounding a central green area with cherry blossom trees, creating a nostalgic neighborhood vibe, making it easy to get the hang of for less experienced players, using the roofs is key for awareness and height advantage.

While similar to Hopeful Heights, Masked Meadows holds an advantage due to its more central location, making it a more strategic choice. However, Hopeful Heights still remains a solid option for players seeking a less competitive landing spot this season.

Flooded Frogs

The Flooded Frogs is an ancient Japan-inspired location surrounded by water, lilypads, and frog-shaped waterfalls. Its striking red building stands out as one of the most picturesque spots on the Battle Royale island. Despite its beauty, the area isn’t too large, offering 39 chests and 3 Elemental chests in close proximity, making it an efficient loot spot.

Located near the popular Magic Mosses location, this POI remains largely overlooked this season, providing a peaceful, less crowded alternative. Players can easily loot nearly all the chests in just a few minutes and once you’re geared up, you can head straight into action, whether by moving on to Magic Mosses or the nearby Giant Turtle location.
