The Fortnite Galactic Battle season has transformed the map with exciting new locations and picking the right landing spot in can dramatically impact your chances of survival in every match. Here is an updated guide to the best landing spots in Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 3, whether you prefer quieter locations to gear up early-game, or you prefer action-packed hot drops!

1. Outpost Enclave
One of the exciting new additions this season, Outpost Enclave, brings Star Wars vibes while offering strategic advantages. The area features a lot of chests and floor loot scattered throughout. A huge, lootable Jawa Sandcrawler is the highlight of this location, and the tight buildings allow for fast, efficient looting. Additionally, you can find X-Wings here and fly them, an aerial advantage for you in the match.
2. Secret Cave Near Brutal Boxcars
Landing directly into a secret cave that only a few players know about is one of the best ways to start a match, and this one is nestled just southeast of Brotal Boxcars. This hidden gem is actually packed with loot and gives you a quiet start away from the action.
To find it, head towards the cliffside southeast of the POI, where you’ll spot an AT-AT walker standing tall. Right next to it, you’ll notice a ship with a cannon aimed at a cluster of rocks. These rocks are more than just scenery, they’re blocking the entrance to the cave. You then have to approach the cannon, and you will see the option to hotwire it. Hit the interact button, and the cannon will automatically fire and clear the rocks. With most players unaware of its existence, you’re likely to secure your loadout without any interruptions.
3. Seaport City
Since Chapter 1, Seaport City has been known for having a lot of ground loot and chests packed with shields and weapons. The area offers great weapon variety to suit any playstyle, and there are many vehicles too! The city’s layout allows for quick looting routes, and you can easily move between buildings to gather everything you need in the first few minutes.
4. Canyon Crossing Secret Cave
If one secret cave isn’t enough, there is another one near Canyon Crossing that is even easier to reach. Just go southwest of the bridge, and you will find a ramp. Follow it down and use the zipline nearby to get to the cave. This cave doesn’t need any keys or special steps. Just break the rocks blocking the entrance with your pickaxe. Inside, you will find four common chests close together, making it a great spot for quick loot. Since it’s hidden away from busy areas, you are less likely to run into other players early in the match.
5. Placid Paddies
Placid Paddies might only be a small landmark, and not be a huge POI. But don’t let this small landmark fool you. Located just above Resistance Base, this spot contains tons of chests. It’s almost completely uncontested in most matches, giving you free time to loot in peace. Several cars are parked at the entrance for quick rotation when you need to move on.

6. First Order Base
First Order Base is in the northeast corner of the map, where Demon’s Dojo used to be. It’s an important spot because you can find and fly TIE Fighters here. The base sits on a mountain and has a few ways to get in. Inside, there’s plenty of loot, but watch out, because Captain Phasma and her Stormtroopers are heavily guarding the area.
Defeating Captain Phasma gives you her Mythic F-11D Blaster and a medallion that helps blasters cool down faster. The area is popular because of these rewards, but if you’re careful, you can still grab the loot without getting caught early. If you want strong weapons or plan to fly a TIE Fighter, First Order Base is a great place to land, even if it’s risky.
7. Crime City
Crime City is right in the middle of the map, which makes it a good spot for staying inside the storm circle. It’s easier to move around here compared to places like Seaport City because the buildings are lower and more packed together. One of the best things about this place is the bank vault. It has Dill Bits and rare items that can help a lot.
You can take those Dill Bits to the nearby Black Market and buy Mythic weapons. Even though Epic Games shows off this spot a lot since Lawless season, it doesn’t get too crowded, so it’s great if you want good loot without too many early fights.
Finding the best landing spots in Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 3 can give you more opportunity to win the match. Remember that Epic Games has promised major weekly updates this season, so some of these locations might change. Stay adaptable and keep exploring the map!
