5 Best Landing Spots for Loot in Fortnite Chapter 2 Season 3

Fortnite is about risk and reward. Every decision a player makes must balance these two factors according to that player's ability. Players with strong mechanics — lightning fast builds, aim that gets them reported for suspected hacking — can lean heavily into the risk and reasonably expect a big payoff as a result. Other players, less confident in their building and shooting, will need to play things a little safer.

As a result, there's no single strategy that will always result in a Fortnite victory, and there's no single landing location that could confidently described as the best in the game. More important is finding what level of risk with which one is personally comfortable.

That said, here are five landing spots that provide stellar starting loot — provided one can weather the storm.

1. Retail Row

Relatively unchanged since its introduction in the early days of Fortnite, Retail Row has also remained a loot-heavy destination to drop throughout its existence. That remains true now, as players can find it full of chests, floor loot, and plenty more.

2. Frenzy Farm

Frenzy Farm is decidedly less hotly contested than Retail Row in a typical Fortnite match, but it has more than enough loot to sustain a solo player or a duo. It's a slightly more reliable choice for landing.

3. Pawntoon

This ever-mobile boat isn't marked on the map, and it spawns in a new location in each match, but seeking it out can lead to some truly spectacular loot with almost no risk of contest. One may miss the boat occasionally, torpedoing a run before it begins, but an uncontested Pawntoon landing is among the best in the game.

4. The Fortilla

If one is looking to lay it all on the line, the Fortilla is among the most loot rich — and dangerous — locations in Fortnite. Players landing here will most likely end up dead, but those who survive will emerge fully kitted.

5. Catty Corner

Catty Corner is unassuming on its face, but by providing a couple of guaranteed unique weapons and a vault full of loot, it proves itself an exceptional landing location.
