Above, you can find the Fortnite map for Chapter 5, Season 3. Since this particular season is all about the ferocious sandstorm that’s hit the island, you can expect to find bands of savage Wasteland Warriors roaming the dystopian landscape. The apocalyptic Wrecked season has made some changes to the map, so if you need to brush up on named locations, now you have all the information you need.

How do I find hot spots on the Fortnite map?

To find hot spots in Fortnite, open up the map and look at the different place names. If a place’s name is golden, it means there’s a hot spot there. Head there to find drones full of loot for extra goodies to help you win.

Best landing spots on the Fortnite Map

Where you decide to drop when playing Fortnite is crucial to your in-game success, especially in the early stages of a battle. So, you’re going to want to know the best current landing spots. Of course, a lot of this comes down to personal preference, but we think the best options right now are some of the newest locations on the map, which we’ve listed for you:

  • Nitrodome (replacing Fencing Fields)
  • Redline Rig
  • Brutal Beachead
  • Sandy Steppes (replacing Snooty Steppes)

These POIs offer a wealth of chests, and some other important goodies too. Be warned, however, because each of these POIs plays home to prospective boss that you might find yourself doing battle with. So, make sure you’re prepared for a fight!

As you can see in the Fortnite map photo above, even if the places are undiscovered, you can still see the golden hue signifying that there’s good loot there.
