Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 1 map changes & new locations

FN Hunters map overview

Fortnite has shaken up the map once again for Chapter 6 Season 1, bringing new POI locations, landmarks, and map changes.

The map brings a handful of never-seen-before POIs, new routes, and a ton of unexplored territory just begging for some adventure. Some of the highlights are a purple forest sprawls out west, and there’s an autumn temple chilling in the southwest, both easy to spot from a bird’s-eye view.

A real game-changer is verticality. There’s massive peaks towering over rivers winding between them. And with Fortnite’s shiny new movement tech debuting in Chapter 6, it’s no shocker the devs decided to crank up the altitude.

Epic’s v33.20 update has swept away the snow from the festive Winterfest period, setting the stage for the arrival of Godzilla and King Kong in the upcoming event. The developers have built up anticipation via notable changes, including the destruction of the Shining Span bridge and the appearance of a massive footprint nearby.

Brutal Boxcars

Brutal Boxcarts POI

This train station is brutal, alright – brutally underwhelming. Few chests, little loot, and not much else going on. Land here only if you’re desperate or enjoy the thrill of pickaxing everyone to death.

Canyon Crossing

Canyon POI

Canyon Crossing is a mix of southwest vibes and cliffside chaos. With bun shops, tall loot-heavy buildings, and a lake looming below, this POI is rich in rewards but comes with a catch – falling off the crossing means instant elimination.

Demon’s Dojo

Demon's Gojo POI

Home to The Night Rose, this top-right POI is where you go to tango with a boss. Beat her, and you’ll snag her medallion, a Veiled Precision SMG, and her fancy Void Oni Mask Mythics. Just make sure you’re up for the fight – or prepared to run.

Flooded Frogs

Flooded Frogs POI

This picturesque POI might just be the prettiest spot on the map. An ancient Japan-inspired design with frog-shaped waterfalls and a bright red building that stands out as one of the map’s most picturesque spots.

Foxy Floodgate

Floxy Floodgate POI

This enormous dam splits the center of the map. There are few loot areas with questionable cover. On the bright side, the ziplines make it easy to navigate, whether you’re zipping up, down, or trying to escape a firefight.

Hopeful Heights

Hopeful Heights POI

Like Masked Meadows but smaller, grittier, and more industrial. It’s tucked into the bottom-right corner of the map, perfect for those who prefer a quiet drop to avoid the early-game chaos.

Kappa Kappa Factory

Kappa Kappa factory POI

I didn’t know I wanted to land in a factory with an oddly fraternity-like name until it was there. It’s industrial, it’s lootable, and it’s one of the better spots to find gear – if you can handle the competition.

Lost Lake

Lossy Lake POI

Smack dab in the center, this lake is more scenic than practical. A couple of cherry blossom trees make it charming, and the loot isn’t bad, but watch your back – it’s in a high-traffic area.

Magic Mosses

Magic Moses POI

A moss-covered forest filled with obelisks and underground treasure. Loot’s aplenty, but with limited buildings and lurking enemies ready to ambush you, it’s a high-risk, high-reward place.

Masked Meadows

Masked Meadows POI

This POI is straight out of Chapter 1 with its suburban charm, spaced-out houses, and central green filled with cherry blossom trees. It’s a classic and a crowd favorite for a reason.

Nightshift Forest

Night Forest POI

A shadowy wonderland with pink and purple trees that feels more magical than menacing. Dense trees offer great cover, and a central hub of small buildings makes for quick looting. Perfect for sneaky players.

Pumped Power

Pumped power POI

Situated between Magic Mosses and Demon’s Dojo, this power station keeps things simple: compact, loot-rich, and easy to navigate. Perfect for players who like efficiency in their looting sprees.

Seaport City

Seaport City POI

This bustling commercial district by the water is a vertical battleground. Opposite Shining Span, it’s packed with multi-level buildings perfect for ambushes and tactical plays.

Shattered Span

Shattered Span POI

It’s a scenic bridge connecting Canyon Crossing to other POIs. It used to be pretty on the eyes, but now it’s been wrecked by Godzilla.

Shogun’s Solitude

Shogun's Solited POI

Majestic mountain peaks and vibrant red treetops make this southwest POI visually stunning. But with minimal loot and tricky rotations, it’s best enjoyed as a quick photo op before bailing.

Twinkle Terrace

Twinkle Terrace POI

This pint-sized POI north of Nightshift Forest doesn’t offer much beyond 45 chests. It’s not thrilling, but it’s an easy loot run if you’re in the area.

Warrior’s Watch

Warrior's Watch POI

A towering main building stuffed with chests makes this a top-tier spot for looting. Surrounded by key POIs like Foxy Floodgate and Nightshift Forest, it’s great for rotations.

Whiffy Wharf

Whiffy Wharf POI

This remote port in the northwest is as smelly as it sounds. The loot’s average, and the location’s inconvenient. Unless you’re avoiding people or enjoy living on the edge of the storm, skip it.
