1. Lonewolf Lair
Located centrally on the map, Lonewolf Lair is hands down one of the best spots to land if you are confident in your early-game fighting skills. This location features a massive manor with multiple floors packed with loot. The key to dominating here is landing at the top building, grabbing the duffle bags, which almost always contain a weapon and thermite, and then working your way down to the vault.
The vault is where things get interesting. Use your thermite to break in and you will be rewarded with rare chests and guaranteed epic or rare weapons. Plus, you will get two Dill Bits which you can spend at nearby Black Markets for mythic weapons. Just remember, this spot is usually heavily contested since Flether Kane might be there, so be ready for immediate action. Moreover, if you find the new NPC boss Fletcher Kane here, you can defeat him and get the Unstoppable Medallion which will increase your sprint speed.
2. Crime City
Crime City is an ideal spot if you love close-quarters combat, because it has its unique compact urban layout. What really sets it apart isn’t just the buildings but its amazing material gathering potential. Thanks to the nearby Gold Rush effect, you can gather materials super fast here. This means you can max out on brick and metal in just minutes.
This landing spot is also very strategic. You can easily rotate to multiple POIs from here, and the tight building layout provides excellent cover for healing and regrouping. The numerous chest spawns and floor loot make it viable for both solo or squad gameplay.
3. Shiny Shafts
Don’t just roam around on the surface of this area – Shiny Shafts’ true value lies underground. The massive cave system contains 17 potential chest spawns and 11 slurp barrels scattered throughout. The most OP feature? The special metal-rich rocks that give you an insane amount of materials. Using the Gold Rush effect, you can max out your metal count in a very fast time.
The lesser-known secret vault here can be accessed through multiple entry points too, with the top entrance being particularly sneaky. The grind rail system provides quick mobility, letting you escape or push fights as needed.
4. Outlaw Oasis
Outlaw Oasis might seem like just another POI, but it has some unique advantages. The main building alone houses 13 chest spawns, and the healing water pools are a game-changer. After taking fall damage or surviving a fight, you can quickly regenerate white health in these pools.
The secret vault here is also often overlooked, making it a safer option for less aggressive players. There are some geysers around Outlaw Oasis that can eject you and let you fly for quick rotation. Plus, Outlaw Oasis also has plenty of cars for mobility, it’s an excellent spot for players who prefer a more strategic approach.
5. Shogun’s Solitude
Shogun’s Solitude might not be the flashiest location, since it’s also not a new POI, but it’s a strategic goldmine thanks to its powerful NPCs. This spot is home to both Kendo and The Brat, making it an exceptional landing choice for players who want to have NPC services. Kendo, a Scout Specialist, can be hired for 800 gold bars to ping nearby enemies and chests, plus he sells the powerful Sentinel Pump Shotgun for just 300 gold.
What makes this location even better is its defensive layout and The Brat’s services. You can purchase a Twinfire Auto Shotgun from The Brat, and if things get tough, use his Rift Activation service for 450 gold for a quick escape. The combination of good loot spawns, powerful NPCs, and strategic services makes this an excellent spot for players who like to play with a mix of combat and utility.
5. Magic Mosses
Las but not least, Magic Mosses. It isn’t just another POI – it’s a strategic goldmine for players looking to hijack the Armored Transports. This location consistently sees transport vans appear nearby after the second storm circle, making it perfect for players who want to combine early-game looting with mid-game transport hunting.
What makes this spot particularly valuable is also the underground lab where you’ll find Joss, an NPC who offers Rift Activation services for 450 gold. This means you can quickly reposition if the transport battle gets too heated. The POI itself has decent loot distribution with multiple chest spawns, and its elevated terrain gives you excellent visibility to spot incoming transports.
At the end of the day, the best landing spot in Fortnite is the one that matches your playstyle. If you’re feeling confident and want some high-kills, Lonewolf Lair is calling your name. If you are more of a strategic player, then Magic Mosses might be your ticket to that sweet Armored Transport loot.
Here’s a pro tip I always share with my squad: don’t just stick to one spot. Mix it up. Some days you might want to loot in the underground at Shiny Shafts, other days you might feel like going to Shogun’s Solitude, purchase those NPC services and then secure Victory Royale with them. Try out these spots and find what works for you. See you on the battlefield!
