What does the latest Fortnite map look like? It’s not a new concept for Fortnite, but the island has taken on a Japanese feel again with the latest season: Hunters. This time, iconic characters from Japanese popular culture are set to arrive on the island throughout the chapter, while you’ll find adorable elemental sprites dotted around.
Since the battle royale game is constantly in flux, everything in this guide will change throughout the season. This also goes for the many Fortnite weapons and Fortnite NPCs across the map, and we’ll update each of these guides to reflect those changes. For now, here are the latest changes to the Fortnite map in Chapter 6, Season 1: Hunters.
The maps available in Fortnite battle royale right now are:
Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 1 map
With a huge, all-new, Japanese-inspired map to explore, here are all the POIs to head towards:
- Whiffy Wharf
- Flooded Frogs
- Magic Mosses
- Demon’s Dojo
- Pumped Power
- Lost Lake
- Brutal Boxcars
- Twinkle Terrace
- Nightshift Forest
- Foxy Floodgate
- Shining Span
- Seaport City
- Warrior’s Watch
- Burd
- Canyon Crossing
- Masked Meadows
- Shogun’s Solitude
- Hopeful Heights
As we embark upon a new Fortnite Chapter, every single POI here is new, with something new to explore within. All the while, a new Fortnite boss, Shogun, works his way across the map, so you can’t find and fight him anywhere.
Other NPCs so far reside in areas like Nightshift Forest and Hopeful Heights, so these might be busy areas to drop into. Instead, for the best pick of the loot, we’d recommend dropping into Pumped Power or Magic Mosses for now, and working through new weapon challenges.
Fortnite OG map
The classic POIs making a return in the OG OG map are:
- Anarchy Acres
- Wailing Woods
- Pleasant Park
- Lonely Lodge
- Tomato Town
- Greasy Grove
- Salty Springs
- Fatal Fields
- Moisty Mire
- Flush Factory
Fortnite Reload Venture map
Here is everything you should know about the POIs in the Fortnite Reload Venture map:
- Dusty Docks – one of the better places for loot in the map, though you probably shouldn’t stick around here all that long as the storm will likely affect this area.
- Lil’ Loot Lake – home to one tiny house, this area is probably not the best drop point, but it can make for a fantastic fort if the storm allows you to.
- Lone Lodge – another rather isolated house and one where you can be ambushed rather easily. Probably not worth bothering coming here unless desperate.
- Pleasant Park – a small neighborhood of houses filled with loot, though being on the coast is risky.
- Retail Row – a group of shops filled with loot you can plunder, but expect to escape from the other shoppers before the weather turns.
- Sandy Sheets – a very small cluster of condos that don’t have much loot in them.
- Snobby Shoals – the house and surrounding area have plenty of loot to hunt for, and the pond nearby has the potential for rare items.
- Tilted Towers – the classic drop point is nice and central. Sure it’s a bit smaller, but it does have the best loot potential.
Fortnite Reload Oasis map
As of last season, a second Reload map is now in the newer battle royale mode. Oasis and Venture rotate every 30 minutes, do you have plenty of opportunity to experience both maps this season.
Here are the Fortnite Reload Oasis POIs:
- Adobe Adobes – is, like Paradise Palms, one of the best places to drop in early for chest value. Here, the chests are also fairly spread out, so you should get a fair chance at them, even if it’s busy.
- Fossil Fields – it could be a good idea to drop into the edge of the map near Fossil Fields to start gathering loot, before heading inland.
- Guaco Town – we’d recommend Guaco Town if you like somewhere a little quieter to drop in, but this isn’t the best area for chest loot.
- Lizard Links – almost all loot here is located inside the main building, so this is a great place to drop if you like a fight nice and early.
- Paradise Palms – is one of the best places to land for sheer quantity of chests, though you may also find this to be one of the more popular drop-in locations.
- Shady Springs – Loot is spread around fairly evenly across Shady Springs, but we’d recommend heading either inland from the coast, or straight to the building on the south west of the POI.
- Snobby Sands – loot chests aren’t very well spread around here, so you should head straight to the house on the east for the pick of the litter.
- Sunburnt Shafts – if you want large quantities of chest loot, Sunburnt Shafts is another good location, but if you’re too late, it’s worth bearing in mind the area around it is quite sparse.
- Twisted Trailers – like Sunburnt Shafts, the area around Twisted Trailers doesn’t have masses of loot, so if you drop here, you’re better off looting the POI, then heading through the grassy area to the north.
